About renovating in Merrimac
Merrimac is a central, well-priced suburb close to Robina and Broadbeach that has become popular with renovating owner-occupiers. 1980s and 1990s low-set brick homes, canal-adjacent properties near the Nerang River and a growing number of townhouses. Many Merrimac homes still carry original kitchens, wet areas and flooring, so full-interior refreshes are common. Low-lying pockets near the river need moisture-tolerant flooring specifications. We take on projects of every size in Merrimac - from replacing a kitchen or laying new flooring through to full home renovations and insurance repairs. Every project is run by one licensed team, quoted at a fixed price after a site inspection, and delivered with clear communication and a tidy site.
