Frequently asked questions
- How much should I budget for a renovation?
- As a rule of thumb, allow $20,000–$40,000 for a kitchen, $15,000–$30,000 for a bathroom, and always keep a 10–15% contingency for surprises behind walls. Get three written quotes before committing.
- Do I need council approval for my project?
- Decks, sheds, fences above certain heights and structural changes often need approval or must meet exempt-development rules. Check your local council's website before work starts — rectification orders are expensive.
- How do I choose a reliable tradie?
- Verify their licence on your state's register, ask for recent references and photos of similar jobs, insist on a written quote with inclusions listed, and never pay the full amount upfront.
- What adds the most value to a home?
- Street appeal, kitchens and bathrooms consistently deliver the best return. Fresh paint, tidy landscaping and good lighting are the cheapest value-adds before selling.
- How often should I maintain gutters and roofs?
- Clean gutters at least twice a year — more often under trees — and inspect the roof annually for cracked tiles, rusted sheets and failing flashing. Small leaks become big structural bills if ignored.
