About renovating in Paradise Waters
Paradise Waters is a small, tightly held waterfront enclave between Main Beach and Surfers Paradise. Projects here are usually detail-driven, with owners investing in finishes that will still look right in a decade. Large canal-front homes on generous blocks, many built in the 1980s and 90s and now being comprehensively renovated - new kitchens, ensuites, flooring throughout, and rebuilt outdoor entertaining areas facing the water. Wide-frontage canal homes mean large glazing spans, heavy stone deliveries and pool-side access to protect. We plan crane or lift access early and detail all external carpentry for direct salt exposure off the Broadwater. We take on projects of every size in Paradise Waters - 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.
