Time for a Renovation? Let's Sort Your East Auckland Home, Room by Room

You don't need to gut the whole house to make it feel right again.
Most renovations start with a room, or even a handful of small things that have been bugging you for a while. We help you work out what actually needs doing — then we do it.
From a single room refresh to a full multi-room project, Handyman Botany manages home renovations across East Auckland — carpentry, painting, tiling and coordination with trusted specialists where needed, one person to talk to, start to finish.

How We Approach a Renovation
Discuss What's Bugging You
We walk through the room or issues with you and talk through what actually needs doing.
Confirm Scope & Quote
We agree what's included and provide a clear, upfront quote.
Coordinate Trades if Needed
Electrical, plumbing or consent work is arranged with trusted specialists.
Carry Out the Work
Carpentry, painting, tiling and finishing completed to plan.
Final Walkthrough
We check the finished result together before calling it done.
What Affects the Cost?
Renovation work starts from $90/hr. Small defined projects start from $1,500 labour only, and larger renovations are quoted individually.
If you clear the room and move furniture out yourself before we start, that time comes off the labour cost.
Got suitable materials on-site already? Using what's there instead of sourcing new can bring the price down.
Budget or premium fittings and finishes — the materials you choose are often the biggest factor in the final price.
A single defined job costs less than a multi-room renovation involving several trades.
More rooms mean more time, more materials and more coordination between stages.
Scaffold, restricted access or working at height can add real time before the work itself even starts.
Electrical, plumbing, or work requiring Building Consent or an LBP is quoted and charged separately.
Minor renovation work: from $90/hr +GST
Small renovation projects: from $1,500 labour only +GST
Larger renovations: quoted individually
Electrical, plumbing & consent work: extra

Recent Renovation Work

Small Exterior Wall Renovation
A rotten, unstable exterior screen was safely removed and rebuilt with new timber framing, cladding and a painted finish.

Custom Garden Storage Shed
Store-bought sheds never quite fit everything people actually have. This one was designed and built from scratch to fit a sloping site and what the client needed to store.
What Customers Say
"Built and installed interior steps, and installed and framed out a new exterior door for us to high quality craftsmanship — on time and as quoted, would recommend highly and will call him again for our next project!"
Renovation FAQ
How much does renovation work cost?
Minor work starts from $90/hr. Small defined projects start from $1,500 labour only, and larger renovations are quoted individually — all +GST, with materials extra unless stated. Smaller than that? Ring Rinat on 021 022 66991, describe the job, and ask for a price for that exact work — the call is free.
Do I need to renovate the whole house, or can I just do one room?
Just one room, or even a handful of small things, is a completely normal place to start — most renovations begin that way.
Can you handle electrical or plumbing work?
Electrical, plumbing and consent work is coordinated with trusted specialists and charged extra — you deal with one point of contact throughout.
Can you build custom storage or shelving as part of a renovation?
Yes — custom carpentry, built-ins and storage designed to fit the space and what you actually need are part of the service.
Do you coordinate with other trades?
Yes. Where a renovation needs a specialist trade, we coordinate them alongside the handyman work so you only have one person to talk to.
Can I send photos before you visit?
Yes — send a few photos and a description of what you'd like done for the most accurate price before confirming a visit.
