Attach a clear scope of work before any work starts.

A precise SOW defines deliverables, exclusions, milestones and who signs off on variations. It reduces disputes and keeps costs visible.

This post highlights the clauses we recommend copying into your contract, plus the NZ rules and the contingency you should budget.

Tiling in NZ typically costs $70–$200 per m², depending on labour, materials and waterproofing.

Labour-only rates usually sit $70–$140/m²; with common adhesives and grout expect $85–$200/m². Hourly rates reported around $55–$95/hr.

Small bathrooms commonly land $3,500–$8,000, and tiled showers $2,000–$4,500. Always get an on-site measure, an itemised quote, and waterproofing shown separately.

Keep the boxes or replace them? Make the right choice before you sign a quote.

Refacing keeps the carcasses, plumbing and electrical locations and is usually faster and cheaper when the boxes are sound. Replacement lets you change layout, but adds time, labour and possible consent requirements for moved plumbing.

Always ask for itemised written quotes that list doors, benchtop and hardware allowances, waste removal and variation rates. Confirm whether any warranty covers the original cabinet boxes.

The final layer before it all comes together. 🎨 ✨

Resene Alabaster going on the walls — that clean, fresh white that makes a renovated space feel like it's breathing again.

Our painter is part of our in-house team, so colour selections, prep, and finish are all handled without the client needing to coordinate a thing.

This Auckland living room is almost there — and it's going to look amazing.

Floor sanding in NZ usually costs $40–$110 per m².

That range depends on service level and hidden repairs. Buff and recoat suits a sound finish; heavy sanding, adhesive removal, stairs and moisture issues push prices up.

A site visit with subfloor moisture readings and a written scope is the only way to get a fixed quote. Photo estimates may miss repairs, exclusions or extra coats.

Copper pipes, exposed studs, and a certified plumber who knows exactly what he's doing. 🛠️

This is the rough-in phase — the moment that determines how well your renovation holds up for the next 20 years. Miss something here and it costs a fortune to fix once the walls are closed.

Our plumber is part of our in-house team, not a subcontractor we call in and hope turns up. He works alongside our builders from day one. No surprises. No rework.

That's the value of an all-trades team.

Planning a handleless kitchen? Start with three practical checks.

Pick the opening system first: retrofit options differ, and heavy drawers often need stronger hardware. Specify HMR for cabinets near sinks and dishwashers so edges don’t swell. Check consent rules early, and use registered plumbers and licensed electricians.

Before you commit, request a physical door sample, photos of the edge detail, HMR confirmation for wet zones, realistic lead times and warranty terms.

Which of these will you check first on your project?

Is the mitre worth the extra cost?

Deciding isn’t about looks alone, it’s about three facts: the material you pick, how well the veining lines up at the join, and the fabricator’s mitre skill. If the end isn’t on show, the premium often buys little.

Before you sign, ask to see a cut sample mitre, confirm the vertical panel’s support and site access, and get written warranty coverage for the corner.

Which material are you leaning toward for your benchtop? Tell us below or book a consult with Sorted Home Solutions.

Pocket doors aren't always possible.

Before you commit, run the five checks the article outlines: wall construction, services, consents, cost and accessibility. These checks prevent costly rework and surprises.

If your wall is masonry, load-bearing or contains plumbing or wiring, a pocket (cavity) slider is usually not suitable. A barn door is often the practical retrofit, but it changes privacy and sound performance.

Want Sorted Home Solutions to check your wall for a door swap, or read the full guide on our site? Which room are you thinking of changing — bathroom, bedroom or hallway?

This is where the magic happens. 🔨

Mid-install on a kitchen cabinetry job — units up, tools out, and everything prepped for the final fit. Our cabinet maker has been doing this for 15+ years. Every unit level, every drawer sliding right, every finish exactly what the client signed off on.

It's this attention to detail that earns the reviews we're proud of.
