There is great value in improving what you have rather than starting again, as the owners of this four-bedroom Hamilton home have found. An extensive renovation was undertaken to add a new master bedroom, ensuite, kitchen and dining area — taking the floor area from 195m² to 258m². Double glazed aluminium joinery replaced the old, along with complete re-roofing, insulation and repainting of walls and ceilings, installation of a fully ducted heating system, new wiring and floor coverings, new decks, structural work in the basement and new garage doors.
