Addition
A new room joined onto an old house, levels and weather line matching.
The junction is the job: structure, weather line, floor levels — so the extra room belongs to the house that was already there.
Galloway Builders renovates houses people already live in. Additions, extra bedrooms, garage conversions, opened living, the wall that should have come down years ago. Based in Whakatāne, we take that work to Ōhope, Ōpōtiki, Te Puke and Ōhiwa.
Renovation on this coast is not a new house on a clear site. The existing structure, the ground and the weather line decide what is possible. Hamish walks the house before anyone prices timber.
Many renovations need building consent through Whakatāne District Council. We say so when they do, and we handle the paperwork. When the Act does not require it, we say that too.
What a renovation here usually is
Extra bedroom
The room that was not there: floors, window, wardrobe, the walk from the hall.
Conversion
A garage that earns its keep — weathertight, insulated, opened to the garden.
Alteration
Walls out, sliders in, the house using the view it already had.
Bring the house. We will bring the tape.
