HOME RENOVATION SERVICES IN WOLLONGONG AND THE ILLAWARRA

Choose a proven process for effective home renovations

We all have ideas about our dream property, but sometimes it takes a round or two of home renovations before you can begin making that dream a reality. Every individual homeowner and family likely have different tastes, needs, and budgets, and finding that perfect house that has it all isn’t easy.

With Cripps Builder, homeowners gain a capable asset for executing planned ideas and a passionate team engaged with delivering excellent results. As your partner in this project, we put your needs and desires at the top of our to-do list. Take this opportunity to consider what makes our team the right choice and explore how our process works.

BATHROOM RENOVATIONS

Turning your bathroom, en-suite or laundry into a beautiful space

Small Bathroom Renovations may be the ideal way to transform one small room into feeling like you’re on a luxurious vacation. Why leave home if you can step into a relaxing spa-like environment surrounded by a palette of calming colours? Our professional work and attention to detail make our small space bathroom renovations a joy to behold. If we can renovate a 1930s miner’s cottage and include a fully tiled modern main bathroom and en suite as a luxurious addition, think what we can do for you! We build to suit and look forward to following your guidelines for your perfect retreat.

  • With years of bathroom renovation experience in Illawarra, we’ve seen many trends come and go. We’ve learned that there are some critical choices that, if made upfront, allow the building process to flow more smoothly. Think about the following ideas as you finalise your laundry or bathroom renovation.

    • Whenever we build renovations in Illawarra for a laundry or bathroom, we understand that you’ll be looking at your choices for years. Before finalising flooring, countertops, and tile choices, spend days looking at them. Sometimes the most boring options become more palatable when viewing them over the long haul.

    •Avoid the inevitable cluttered bathroom by adding as much storage as possible. Tall shallow cabinets can store numerous odds and ends. Towel bars along a wall keep towels tidy and out of the way. Recessed cubbies in the shower offer spots for bottles and shampoo. Hidden storage may be the best-kept secret in bathroom renovations.

    • Tabletop heights are usually 76cm. Countertops in your bathroom tend to be higher so that you won’t be bending over as much. The average height in a bathroom is 91cm; however, if anyone is exceptionally tall, you may want to add even more height.

  • A bright and airy bathroom can lighten your mood and calm your spirit. We recommend our clients increase the amount of light as much as possible in all small bathroom renovations. Our construction work in Wollongong doing bathroom renovations teaches us that the more our clients understand the options, the happier they are with the final product.

    Install a window if the bathroom is on an outside wall so the light can stream through the glass. If this isn’t possible, a skylight is an excellent alternative. The more sunlight you can let in, the better. Not only because sunlight kills mould but also because seeing a bird fly by or a tree sway in a breeze may have enormous calming effects.

    The most efficient way to light a bathroom is with diffuse ceiling lights. The light flows from above and bounces off the walls, especially if they are pale or white.

    The type of lighting to apply cosmetics is a personal preference. Fluorescent vertical light fixtures provide abundant light without shadows. A cold white bulb, on the other hand, will give you the precise light that a surgeon uses.

  • One needs the motivation to renovate a bathroom because it can be challenging. We take the stress off you by providing excellent professionalism and communication. Our bathroom renovations in Illawarra may be your best bet if you find the following true.

    Your family needs have changed. A gaggle of kids in a home you purchased when first married may no longer have large enough bathrooms. Adding double sinks and more storage space will provide a cleaner look, and there will be less elbowing each other during those early morning hours.

    The kids left for college, and you want to create that dream bathroom with a bit of extra space. You have more time on your hands, so why not spend that time luxuriating in a spa-like environment?

    You’re aging in place and don’t want to move. By redesigning your bathroom, you may be able to live alone for many years to come. Non-skid flooring and handrails may be an addition worth considering.

    If you plan to sell your home in the next few years, a bathroom renovation will add value to your house, and you get to enjoy it until closing day!

CARPORT BUILDERS IN THE ILLAWARRA AND WOLLONGONG

Carport & pergola builders

With most properties only equipped with enough parking space to account for one or two vehicles, why not install new or improve your current parking facilities with our carport builders? By applying our extensive construction knowledge and experience to upgrading your property’s parking facilities, we can enhance the look of your property and prevent guests from parking on your freshly cut lawn. When you work with us, we make sure that all your needs are met.

  • We understand our client’s needs and can offer appropriate advice and services by operating as a local, family-owned Australian business.

    Our construction services provide:

    Protection from the elements
    When you expose vehicles to direct sunlight for extended periods, their exteriors will degrade and fade. By having us provide your cars with protection from the sun, we can help keep your vehicles glossy and blemish-free.

    Aesthetic appeal
    With a keen eye for beauty and function, we can provide our clients with modern designs and finishes that will contribute to the look of your property. We can design, construct and install the pergola of your choice and bring some flair to your home or business.

    Improved facilities
    Instead of having your guests park their vehicles on the sidewalk or lawn, consider installing designated parking spots. This will make your property look more organised and protect your garden from damaging tire tracks.

  • Due to our company’s extensive knowledge regarding general and specialised construction, we are more than capable of applying the correct building methods and equipment to produce unique structures.

    By entrusting our construction teams to take care of your property, we can promote the following:

    Realistic and honest timelines
    We prefer to give our clients honest estimations on their projects, as the available time affects how we approach your project from the start. This habit provides clarity about when your facilities will be ready to use.

    Consistent communication
    Our teams value the importance of effective communication and promote discussion with you. We’ll keep you in the loop and updated on any progress, problems or alterations and will complete your project with you as a part of every step.

    A clean construction site
    We believe in leaving our sites in a better condition than when we arrived and always ensure that we remove any loose debris or foreign materials after completion. By keeping your property and our construction site clean from start to finish, we help limit our impact on the environment and the final product.
