Refresh Renovation specialist Corey Rambhai completed a full home renovation in Epsom over the course of 2 years!
During their initial consultation, Corey made sure to understand exactly what Tim wanted. “Tim had a budget in mind before we started the renovation, which made things clear,” tells Corey. “Although the build and finishing extended the initial budget, every decision was driven by what the client wanted.”
Corey and his team started by focusing on the kitchen, dining, and living areas. He revamped these spaces to create a contemporary open-plan design that flowed out into the deck, which was also renovated.
The timeline for the first stage was ten weeks leading up to Christmas. “It was a very tough ask, but we managed to get there, more or less, working on Christmas eve until 9 p.m.” tells Corey. “I have to say, the clients, tradespeople, and suppliers, all came to the party and made it possible.”
Two years later, Corey was brought in to complete the second stage: a complete remodel of their bathroom. When asked about challenges he faced, Corey reveals “We struggled to find an art deco vanity the clients liked, so we came up with the idea to use a sideboard and convert this to a vanity! Tim found one through TradeMe and our guys did the rest. We cut, straightened, and sealed it with a new coat of varnish. The end result is absolutely awesome!”
Corey ran into a similar issue when looking for the bathroom features. “It takes a lot of time finding the right vanity, sink, and tap that suits the design,” says Corey, “but it was a great experience customising everything to meet Tim’s needs!”

Refresh® has carried out full-home renovations ranging from $80,000 - $725,000*. The final cost of any project depends on a range of factors but will be significantly influenced by your project specifications as well as any hidden damage within the home. For example, a renovation on the lower end of this spectrum might include a few minor interior and exterior updates such as paintwork, a bathroom renovation and installing a heat pump. Homeowners with a generous budget may choose to make significant structural and cosmetic changes to their home in addition to extending or adding new spaces. For a cost estimate accurate to your project ideas, we recommend speaking with your local consultant.
It’s safe to say the feeling was mutual, as Corey adds “Having great clients like Tim who are flexible and understand renovations are fluid makes my job much easier.” When asked about his favorite aspect of the remodel, Corey explains “The entire result turned out great. The back of the house is actually usable now, with the great indoor-outdoor flow that didn’t exist before. My favorite feature is the sun bench that looks over the deck to the garden!”
