About renovating in Runaway Bay
Runaway Bay is an established northern Broadwater suburb with a strong owner-occupier base. A lot of homes here are on their first major renovation after thirty or forty years. Single-level brick-and-tile homes from the 1980s, canal-front properties along the Bayview streets, and low-rise units near the Shopping Village. Kitchens, bathrooms, flooring and outdoor living upgrades are the bread and butter. Homes closer to the Broadwater need corrosion-resistant fixings and careful external detailing. Older slab-on-ground homes often need moisture testing and levelling before hybrid or timber flooring goes down - we test rather than assume. We take on projects of every size in Runaway Bay - 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.
