Refresh your home

Australian homeowners should consider home renovation for several reasons. Firstly, renovating your home can significantly increase its value and appeal, which is especially beneficial if you plan to sell in the future. Secondly, a renovation can help you create a space that better suits your lifestyle and needs, whether it’s adding an extra bedroom or creating an open plan living area.

Thirdly, renovating can be a more cost-effective option than buying a new home, especially in areas where property prices are high. Additionally, renovating can be a fun and rewarding project, allowing you to express your personal style and creativity while improving your living environment.

Some common tasks that might be included in a complete house renovation project include:

  • Kitchen renovation
  • Bathroom and Laundry renovation
  • Demolition and removal of existing materials and fixtures
  • New flooring installation/ replacement or repair
  • Structural repairs or modifications
  • Installation of new electrical and plumbing systems
  • Wall and ceiling repair or replacement
  • Window and door installation or replacement
  • Replacement of fixtures such as sinks, faucets, and light fixtures
  • Finish work such as painting, wallpaper installation
  • Appliance replacement
  • Landscaping refresh

We will give you a specified quotation which includes every service we provide for that price and timeframe.

We work and supervise everything from start to finish and are there throughout and after.

We work diligently not just to stay within a certain timeframe but also to ensure we always stay on budget.

Energy Efficiency

Renovating your home can also help to improve energy efficiency and reduce your carbon footprint, which is increasingly important in today’s world. Overall, there are many compelling reasons why Australian homeowners should consider home renovation.

Insulation

With sufficient insulation for your property, your home would contain the heat during winter months and the coolness during the warmer months. You could be making some notable energy savings of up to 30% and will be proud of your investments

Windows and Doors

You can also install special energy efficient windows that can help to reduce your energy costs even further.  The following options are a great choice to double glaze:

  • Sliding windows
  • Sliding doors
  • Bi-fold doors
  • Stacking doors
  • French doors

Energy efficient lighting

Switching to energy efficient lighting is the easiest step to create an energy efficient home. This can be as simple as changing your halogens and incandescent lights to compact fluorescents and LED bulbs.

A permanent lighting solution could be to install skylights. Making good use of natural light is the best way to eliminate the use of artificial lighting throughout the day.

Energy efficient appliances

Appliances are one of the largest energy consumer items in household items after heating, cooling and water heating taking up the first and second spots. When purchasing appliances, do your research to see which product offers the best energy ratings. It can be as simple as installing or upgrading your air-conditioning from a split system unit to a reverse cycle ducted air conditioning system.

Saving water

The biggest household water usage comes from washing machines, toilets, showers and taps. From changing everyday habits to choosing water-efficient appliances, there are plenty of ways to make every drop count, every day and WESTRADE can assist you.

These are a few steps you can take to be more water efficient at home:

  • Replace kitchen, laundry and bathroom fixtures with low-flow or more efficient fixtures
  • Swap your washing machine for a higher water efficient grade machine
  • Swap your dishwasher for a higher water efficient grade machine
  • Fixing leaks
  • Upgrading your toilet cistern
  • Install a rainwater tank
