Renovating Homes in Narrabeen
A home renovation in Narrabeen maps two waters before designing — the ocean's coastal hazard zone on the beachfront, and the lagoon's acid sulphate soils on the water's other side.
Between them, the Federation beach houses and inter-war stock renovate with confidence — conserved character under the HCAs, living opened to whichever water the block addresses, salt-grade materials throughout.
Rock is priced from the geotech, with licensed hazard handling on the pre-war fabric.
We renovate fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. Get our renovation scope, with your water's conditions mapped, before you commit.

Two waters, two condition sets
Narrabeen's renovations start from the map — coastal hazard on the beachfront, acid sulphate soils on the lagoon margins — and the design follows what your edge allows.
The beach-house heritage between them renovates with straightforward confidence, opened to the water it faces.
Salt, rock and fabric
Salt-grade materials are standard, rock is priced from the geotech, and the pre-war fabric gets licensed lead and asbestos handling.
All priced into the scope upfront.

How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
A Narrabeen renovation starts with what's worth keeping. Character floorboards, structural brickwork, original joinery — if it earns its place, it stays. Everything else gets a hard look.
⏱Design is pragmatic. Removing the right wall to open a kitchen, upgrading the bathroom to function properly, fixing the laundry that was an afterthought in 1975. Structural engineer signs off before anything load-bearing moves.
⏱Construction runs in stages so you can live in the house for parts of it. Wet areas and kitchens get a clear programme — three weeks without a kitchen is normal; three months is someone else's job.
⏱Handover is clean. New work tied into old work with matched finishes, defects fixed before you move back into the finished zones, warranty on all new work.
