Mount Maunganui home renovations & extensions
Mount Maunganui has limited land, and most sections are already built on, which is why renovating or adding an extension can make more sense than starting from scratch.
Straight Up Builders can help homeowners transform an older property by improving the exterior, internal layouts, and indoor-outdoor flow to make your home a more enjoyable place to live.
The possibilities are almost limitless when it comes to renovating your existing home. We can review your existing plans or discuss initial ideas to help your Mount Manungani home renovations and extensions stay on budget during the design phase.
Typical renovation work can include demolition and removal of structures, kitchen and bathroom renovations, reconfiguring dated layouts, increasing storage, adding bifold doors to outdoor entertaining areas, allowing more natural light by fitting new window and door joinery, build new decks or replace an old deck, or even re-cladding to give your home a modern exterior makeover that's watertight.
As custom home builders specialising in Mount Maunganui homes, Straight Up Builders has successfully completed numerous renovations and extensions across a range of property sizes, each with a different renovation scope. Take a look at some of our work in the before-and-after images below.

Beach bach and holiday home renovations
Many Mount homes started life as simple baches that no longer fit modern family living or holiday rental expectations. Our Mount Maunganui beach bach renovations bring older baches and holiday homes up to date, making them warm, modern and dry.
Beach home renovations in Mount Maunganui often focus on creating open-plan living spaces, updating kitchens and bathrooms to modern standards, adding extra bedrooms, and creating more usable outdoor areas. Many projects also involve replacing structures and facades with building materials that better withstand the sun, salt, and moisture. The goal is a beach home that’s perfect for everyday living, long weekends, and accommodating extra family and guests.
Building decks, outdoor living and re-cladding
Outdoor living is a big part of life in the Mount, so a well‑designed deck or covered area makes a huge difference. At Straight Up Builders in Mount Maunganui, our builders can plan and build new decks, covered patios, pergolas, and outdoor living areas that connect your home to the backyard.
We also offer renovation building services for re‑cladding, joinery upgrades and exterior repairs to help older homes cope better with coastal conditions, improve weather‑tightness and lift street appeal.

"I would wholeheartedly recommend Garret and his team at Straight Up Builders. They have completed two house renovations for us in Papamoa and Mount Maunganui. Their work is excellent and Garret's communications and project management is fantastic. The jobs were on time on budget and no stress. Since then they have complete a few small building jobs for me to the same great standard."
