Kitchen Renovations in Surfers Paradise

Our kitchen renovations service in Surfers Paradise

Body corporate approval and building rules in Surfers Paradise

Before work starts we lodge the renovation application with the body corporate: scope, drawings, licences, insurance certificates, acoustic underlay specification where flooring changes, and the trade hours we will work to. Getting that approval in place first is the single biggest reason a unit renovation runs to program. The stock is dominated by mid-rise and high-rise apartments from the 1980s onward, with pockets of older walk-ups behind Cavill Avenue and a small number of freestanding homes on the western river streets. Kitchens, bathrooms, flooring and joinery are the most common scopes.

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.

What kitchen renovations cost in Surfers Paradise (2026)

A quality kitchen renovation generally runs $25,000-$45,000, with larger custom kitchens involving structural change, stone islands and integrated appliances landing $50,000-$90,000+. Prices move with access, the condition of what is already there, how much structural work is involved and the level of finish you choose. We confirm all of that at the inspection and price your Surfers Paradise job rather than quoting from a range.

How long kitchen renovations take

Most kitchen renovations take 3-5 weeks on site once cabinetry is manufactured, with 4-6 weeks lead time on custom joinery and stone.
