We wholeheartedly recommend Renova to anyone seeking a reliable and skilled renovation partner. They are the best in the business. At every stage from initial consultation, through to delivery, they demonstrated exceptional professionalism, attention to detail, and a commitment to quality. Renova transformed our house into our dream home.

John, Sian, Barbara, Lorcan and Gav guided us at every stage, designing a home that not only works for our family, but delivering on that design with workmanship of the highest quality. Their experience paired with their commitment to fully understanding our needs and wants delivered a home beyond our expectations. They went above and beyond at every step in the process and gave us confidence that they were on top of every aspect of the job.

John has created an incredible business with a top tier team. His QS background kept us in check and ensured that initial quotes were accurate and there were no nasty surprises in additional costs. Sian’s ability to deeply understand how we live and deliver a design that surpasses our expectations was phenomenal. Barbara and Sian were such a delight to work with on the design aspects of the job, their experience and eye for detail guided us to creating a beautiful home. Lorcan’s leadership behind the scenes in managing the project along with Gav’s leadership on site, ensured the delivery of the project was of the highest quality. They were both so easy to work with and went above and beyond at every step. Even our neighbours who had to put up with a 7 month construction job, have gone out of their way to share how fantastic and considerate the team was on site.

If you’re looking for a company to truly partner with you and deliver, look no further then Renova.

Project details

This family home in Monkstown had served its previous owner well for 40 years, but it was time for a reset to suit our clients and their young family. Every aspect of the house was dated including the layout.

Our brief was to redesign and extend to incorporate the many additional features required of a contemporary family home, e.g. home office, pantry, utility, ensuite. Equally important was an upgrade for energy efficiency and comfort.

The house was perfectly liveable so we were able to take our time over the design process, and we submitted a planning application 13 months after the first engagement. Works began as soon as planning was granted and were completed in line with the programme. Our landscape contractor began his works  to the rear of the house immediately after handover.

This finished home is exactly suited to the owners needs and is as energy efficient and comfortable as a new home.
