Renovations and Home Extensions in Como
Practical building, renovation and upper floor extension services for Como homes, delivered with clear planning, careful sequencing and hands-on project management.
Builders Servicing Como and Nearby Sutherland Shire Homes
Como has a mix of established brick homes, renovated family houses, sloping sites and properties that benefit from careful layout upgrades. Some homes need more usable living space, while others need wet areas, kitchens, decks or internal walls reworked to suit modern living. We help Como residents plan and deliver renovation and construction work with attention to structure, access, compliance and finish. Our work includes bathroom renovations, kitchen renovations, full home renovations, ground and upper floor extensions, decks, pergolas, presale makeovers, repairs and maintenance. Because many Como properties sit within an established residential setting, early planning matters. We look at the existing structure, site access, drainage, services, approvals and the way the home will be used before construction begins.
Many house renovations in Como are driven by practical needs, not just appearance. Older layouts can have closed-off kitchens, limited storage, dated wet areas or living spaces that do not connect well to outdoor areas. We look at how each room works before recommending changes, whether that means opening a wall, improving natural light, relocating a laundry, or redesigning the kitchen and living zone.
For larger projects, our home renovation services can include demolition, carpentry, structural alterations, plastering, tiling, waterproofing, flooring and finishing trades. We also coordinate related work with trusted engineers, designers and cabinet makers where needed. If your Como home needs a targeted upgrade, we can also plan around specific areas such as kitchen renovations or bathroom renovations without turning the whole house into a building site.
An upper floor extension in Como can be a useful option when the existing block has limited room for a ground floor addition. It may allow you to add bedrooms, a parent retreat, extra bathrooms, a study or better outlooks while keeping yard space intact. The first question is whether the existing home can support the proposed addition, which is why structural review and early planning are important.
We assess roof structure, load paths, foundations, access, services and construction sequencing before the scope is finalised. Our upper floor extensions service can be coordinated with broader ground floor extension planning where a staged or combined addition makes more sense. For guidance on timing, approvals and disruption, see our article on the typical timeline for a ground or upper floor extension.
Como homes often benefit from better connection between indoor living spaces and outdoor entertaining zones. Depending on the property, this may involve a new deck, covered pergola, patio works, balustrades, stairs, cladding repairs or changes to doors and openings. Site levels, drainage, termite protection, access and material selection all affect the final construction method.
We build decks and pergolas as standalone projects or as part of a larger renovation. For owners preparing to sell, a focused presale makeover can address worn finishes, tired bathrooms, small carpentry repairs, painting preparation and layout improvements that help the home present more clearly. If you are unsure where to start, a site inspection can help separate urgent repair items from optional upgrades.
What Matters When Renovating in Como
Every property is different, but Como renovation projects often need a measured approach to structure, access and staging. These points shape the scope, cost and disruption of the work.
Older brick, weatherboard or previously renovated homes may hide uneven framing, dated plumbing, old waterproofing or non-compliant changes. We check the existing condition before locking in the build scope.
Some Como sites have sloping blocks, tight side access or limited space for materials. These details affect demolition, deliveries, scaffolding, waste removal and day-to-day sequencing.
Depending on the work, approvals, engineering or consultant input may be needed. We help identify likely requirements early so the project can move forward with fewer surprises.
Our Renovation and Construction Process in Como
A clear process helps keep a renovation manageable, especially when structural work, wet areas or extensions are involved. We begin by discussing how you use the home, what needs to change and whether the project is mainly cosmetic, functional or structural. From there, we can guide you towards the right scope, whether that is a focused bathroom renovation, a more involved kitchen renovation, or a complete home renovation.
For Como homes, we also consider access, neighbouring properties, site levels, existing services and the condition of earlier building work. Where approvals, engineering or design input are needed, we help you understand those steps before construction starts.
1. Site Visit and Scope Discussion
We inspect the property, listen to your goals and identify practical constraints. This may include checking access, existing structure, wet areas, floor levels and likely trade requirements. If you are comparing options, our site inspection service can help clarify what is realistic before plans are developed.
2. Planning, Design and Quoting
Once the direction is clear, we define the scope and prepare a quote based on the work involved. For extensions, this may include engineer input, design coordination and approval pathways. You can also read about what to provide for a building quote before making an enquiry.
3. Build, Fit-Off and Handover
Construction is staged to suit the project. This may include demolition, framing, services, waterproofing, cabinetry, tiling, fit-off and final checks. If you are planning larger structural work, our guide to the renovation process from start to finish explains what to expect.
Wet area renovations need more than fresh tiles and fittings. In bathrooms, laundries and ensuites, the hidden work matters. Framing, set-downs, falls, waterproofing, drainage, ventilation and fixture placement all affect how the room performs over time. This is especially important in older Como homes where previous renovations may have left uneven substrates or outdated plumbing.
We plan wet area upgrades around everyday use, storage, cleaning and long-term durability. Our bathroom renovation service covers demolition, waterproofing, tiling, carpentry, fixtures and trade coordination. If your project includes a laundry or kitchen as well, we can help sequence the works so the home remains as functional as possible. For approval questions, see whether council approval is needed for a bathroom renovation.
A kitchen renovation in Como can range from replacing cabinetry within the same footprint to opening up the rear of the home for a more connected living space. Before changing walls or service locations, we look at structure, plumbing, power, ventilation and how the kitchen connects to dining, outdoor areas and storage. Good planning helps avoid expensive changes once trades are on site.
Our kitchen renovation service can include wall removals, carpentry, cabinetry coordination, flooring, tiling, splashbacks, fit-off and finishing details. If you are not sure whether to keep your current footprint, our guide on working with an existing kitchen layout may help. Larger layout changes may also form part of a wider full home renovation.

What Affects Renovation Costs in Como?
Renovation cost depends on the size and condition of the home, not just the rooms being upgraded. Structural work, wall removals, new beams, stair changes, roof alterations and upper floor additions usually add more complexity than surface finishes. Wet areas also need careful budgeting because waterproofing, drainage, plumbing, tiling and fixtures all sit behind the final appearance. Other cost drivers include site access, waste removal, material selections, cabinetry, engineering, consultant input and approval requirements. In some Como properties, older services or previous building work may need to be corrected before new work can proceed. We do not give false fixed pricing without seeing the property. Instead, we inspect, define the scope and explain where the main cost pressures are likely to sit.
Feedback From Local Renovation Clients
Jai and the team built a custom home for us. The finishes are perfect and the building process was a breeze. We decided to use Curtis Constructions because we had used them on two other smaller projects previously and on both of those, we were very satisfied.
Had the pleasure of working with Jai and his team. The wife and I are over the moon with everything they produced. Safe, on-time, on-budget and everything looked amazing. Thanks guys, couldn't recommend any higher!
Really like our new Laundry/Powder Room. Great company to deal with. All tradesmen were on time, cleaned up after themselves and did a meticulous job. Jai (Curtis) was very flexible when we wished to make some changes along the way.
