Kiwi Caretakers

29/01/2026

We hope everyone had an amazing holiday break! 🌞🎄
We’re a little behind on posting what the team’s been up to, so we thought we’d share our latest project.

Our client purchased a three-bedroom home with an enormous dining and lounge area. Joe and the team helped transform this gorgeous house into a four-bedroom home 🏡✨

We prepped, repaired, and repainted the walls to give the space a more modern feel. Out with the old carpet (Joe’s favorite job, btw😂) and in with brand-new carpet throughout the house.

Vinnie did what Vinnie does best 🔧⚡ — installing a new range hood, a bathroom extractor fan, and taking care of the general electrical work.

We all had a lot of fun watching the transformation of this home come together 🙌😍

✨A special thank you to Joe's better half for joining in

🏡✨ The team’s been flat out over the past 6 weeks with not one, not two, but THREE renovations on the go — both North and South of the district! 🚗💨

Big thanks to the legends at Building Future Homes & Plumber Dan for all the mahi 👷‍♂️🔧🛠️

There’s been plenty of travel, a bit of weather dodging 🌧️☀️, and loads of hard work to get these homes looking sharp 🔨💪

Keep an eye out – we’ve got heaps of before & after pics to share in the coming weeks! 📸🏘️
