Wellington renovations, done properly from the start
Studs Up Building delivers high-quality home renovations, alterations, kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor projects across the Wellington region.
Major renovations need more than a quick quote
Renovating an older Wellington home can uncover more than outdated fittings and tired finishes.
Rot, moisture damage, structural issues, poor previous workmanship, and ageing materials can all affect the scope of a project. These problems are not always obvious until work begins, which is why good planning and honest advice matter.
At Studs Up Building, we take the time to understand the property, identify likely issues, and establish a realistic scope before the build gets underway.
The result is a renovation that is better planned, properly managed, and completed without cutting corners.

Built for Wellington homes
Many Wellington homes built in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s are now reaching the point where substantial work is required.
Materials may be ageing. Layouts may no longer suit modern living. Moisture, rot, structural movement, or older building methods may also need to be addressed.
We understand that renovating these homes often involves more than replacing what is visible.
Our role is to help you understand the full picture, make informed decisions, and complete the work to a standard that will last.
