Custom Kitchen Renovations Torquay: Minimising Disruption, Maximising Quality
Looking for a kitchen renovation in Torquay that’s custom-designed and expertly managed to minimise disruption to your family life? Mark from Ocean Edge Homes specialises in transforming kitchens for Surf Coast homeowners. He understands that the kitchen is the heart of the home and that homeowners are often living in the house during the work. That’s why his entire process is thoughtfully designed to deliver a beautiful, high-quality result with as little inconvenience as possible.
How Mark Delivers a New Kitchen in Just a Few Days
Custom Design & Selections: The journey starts with a custom design. Mark’s trusted kitchen supply partners can create detailed floor plans, elevations, and cabinetry designs to bring your vision to life. He also directs you to his colour consultants to make choosing appliances, tapware, tiles, and finishes a simple, guided process.
Off-Site Custom Construction: To minimise the impact on your home, your new kitchen is custom designed and precision-made completely off-site. This crucial step means that the demolition and installation phase on-site is incredibly efficient.
Rapid On-Site Transformation: Mark’s team works to a meticulously planned schedule. After the old kitchen is demolished, the new one is installed on a set day—often in just one day. As Mark explains, with the splashbacks and appliances installed a day or two later, “the kitchen’s really only out actually for two or three days at the most”.
Fully Warranted & Certified Work: As a licensed builder, Mark coordinates all the necessary trades and provides full builder’s warranties for the work. You also receive all mandatory certificates for plumbing and electrical, giving you complete peace of mind.
A Seamless Process, A Beautiful Result
Mark’s thoughtful planning and management of his trade partners transform what could be a stressful experience into a smooth and efficient process. His focus is always on creating a kitchen you’ll love while respecting your home and your time.
