Kitchen Renovations in Runaway Bay - what to expect
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. For kitchen renovations specifically, this matters. 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. Every Runaway Bay 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 kitchen renovations service in Runaway Bay
Design and cabinetry
We plan the kitchen around how you actually cook and gather - bench runs, appliance placement, drawer versus door storage, bin and pantry positions. Cabinetry is made to measure rather than adjusted from stock modules, so you get usable storage in every millimetre.
Stone, splashbacks and appliances
Engineered or natural stone benchtops templated after cabinetry install, splashbacks in tile, stone or glass, and full appliance integration including rangehood ducting and dishwasher plumbing. Appliance specification is locked before cabinetry is manufactured to avoid costly rework.
Plumbing, electrical and finishing
Relocated sinks, new power and lighting circuits, under-cabinet lighting and correct ventilation are handled by licensed trades. We finish with cornice, painting, kick detailing and a clean site so the kitchen is ready to use on handover day.
