Home Renovations in Paddington
Whole-home and partial renovations - layout changes, structural openings, wet areas, kitchens, flooring, joinery, painting and services upgrades, delivered by one licensed team. Orange Projects is a QBCC-licensed builder (Licence No. 15620733) delivering home renovations across Paddington and the wider Brisbane region.
Home Renovations in Paddington - what to expect
Paddington is hilly, tightly packed and full of character housing. Renovating here rewards builders who can work on difficult sites without damaging what makes the home worth keeping. Timber workers' cottages and Queenslanders on steep, narrow blocks, many already partially renovated. Kitchens, bathrooms, under-house conversions and rear decks are typical. For home renovations specifically, this matters. Steep sites, tight street frontages and character overlay constraints are the three big factors. Material handling is often manual, so honest quoting up front matters more here than almost anywhere in Brisbane. Every Paddington project is quoted at a fixed price after a site inspection, delivered by one licensed team, and finished with the documentation and warranties you should expect from a licensed builder.

Our home renovations service in Paddington
Layout and structural changes
Removing walls to open a kitchen into living, widening openings for better flow, or reworking a hallway that eats floor area. Where a wall is load-bearing we engage the engineer, install the beam and get it certified - the part that separates a licensed renovation from a risky one.
Kitchens and living spaces
Most renovations centre on the kitchen and main living spaces. We coordinate cabinetry, stone, plumbing, electrical and tiling in the right sequence so trades are not waiting on each other and the finish is consistent throughout.
Services, flooring and finishes
Renovating is the right time to upgrade wiring, switchboards, plumbing and insulation while walls are open. New flooring, skirtings, architraves, doors and paint then tie the whole home together instead of leaving a renovated room next to an untouched one.
What home renovations cost in Paddington (2026)
Partial renovations generally start around $40,000-$70,000, while whole-home renovations commonly land between $120,000 and $350,000 depending on size, structural work and finish level. Every quote is fixed-price and itemised after a site inspection. Prices vary with access, existing condition and the level of finish you choose. Steep sites, tight street frontages and character overlay constraints are the three big factors. Material handling is often manual, so honest quoting up front matters more here than almost anywhere in Brisbane.
