Transforming an existing house into your dream home requires a blend of creative vision and structural expertise. At Mark Boys Builders, we specialize in high-quality residential renovations across Napier, Hastings, and the surrounding areas. Whether you are looking to modernise a heritage villa, update a tired kitchen, or completely reconfigure your home’s layout, our team of six brings the craftsmanship and local knowledge necessary to turn your ideas into a reality.
The kitchen and bathroom are the heart of any home. We work closely with you to upgrade these essential spaces, focusing on both aesthetic beauty and functional efficiency. From installing custom cabinetry and modern fixtures to managing plumbing and electrical layouts, we ensure your most-used rooms are finished to a professional standard that adds immediate value to your property.
If your family is outgrowing its current footprint, a well-planned extension or structural alteration can be the perfect solution. We handle complex renovations that involve removing load-bearing walls to create open-plan living, adding new bedrooms, or extending your floor plan to improve your home’s flow. Our “get it right from the start” philosophy means we prioritize structural integrity and seamless integration with your existing building.
From re-cladding and re-roofing to interior plastering and finishing, we provide comprehensive renovation services that breathe new life into older homes. We understand the specific building requirements for the Hawke’s Bay climate and ensure that your modernized home is not only beautiful but also energy-efficient, weather-tight, and compliant with all current building codes.
We believe that clear communication is the key to a stress-free renovation. Our team manages every detail of the project:
While every project is unique, a standard kitchen renovation usually takes 3–4 weeks, and a bathroom can take 2–3 weeks. This timeline includes the removal of old fixtures, plumbing and electrical rough-ins, tiling, and final installation. We provide a detailed schedule before we start so you can plan your daily routine accordingly.
For smaller projects like a single room update, most clients choose to stay. However, for large-scale structural renovations or full-home modernizations that involve moving walls or disconnecting essential services for extended periods, it may be more comfortable to find alternative accommodation. We prioritize keeping a tidy, safe site to minimize disruption regardless of your choice.
Yes. Any structural changes, significant plumbing moves, or extensions usually require building consent from the Napier City Council or Hastings District Council. We manage this entire process for you—from coordinating with designers and engineers to submitting the application and hosting the final council inspections.
Older homes in Hawke’s Bay can sometimes reveal hidden issues once we open up the walls, such as outdated wiring or historical moisture damage. Our “get it right from the start” philosophy means we never cover up a problem. We communicate any findings immediately, provide a clear solution, and adjust the plan to ensure your home is safe and structurally sound for the future.
