Sydney Home Renovation serves a wide range of clients across Baulkham Hills and the broader Hills District. We work with:
Whatever your situation, we’ll listen first and build second.
A whole home renovation is the most comprehensive way to transform your property. We manage everything structural changes, new flooring, updated wet areas, fresh joinery, electrical and plumbing upgrades, and interior finishes under one coordinated project. Most Baulkham Hills whole home renovations take 12–24 weeks depending on scope. We handle all council approvals, trade scheduling, and quality inspections so you experience a smooth, stress-free process from start to finish.
Running out of room? A ground-floor home extension adds living space, a new bedroom, or an expanded kitchen and dining area without the disruption of moving. We design extensions that integrate seamlessly with your existing home's structure and style. In Baulkham Hills, many blocks require retaining walls and engineered footings we've handled hundreds of these projects and know exactly what's required for a compliant, beautiful result.
Granny flats are one of the smartest investments available to Hills District homeowners. NSW planning laws allow most standard residential blocks to accommodate a self-contained granny flat, creating rental income or private accommodation for family members. We manage the full process design, CDC or DA approval, construction, and occupation certificate delivering a fully compliant granny flat typically within 16–20 weeks.
A well-designed bathroom renovation adds daily comfort and significant resale value. We handle full strip-outs, wet area waterproofing (a non-negotiable for compliance), tiling, vanity installation, shower screens, tapware, and lighting. Whether you want a sleek ensuite or a family-sized main bathroom, we'll deliver a finish that lasts. Most bathroom renovations in Baulkham Hills are completed within 3–5 weeks.
The kitchen is the heart of your home and in the Hills District, families spend serious time there. We design and install kitchens that balance function and style: custom cabinetry, stone benchtops, splashbacks, butler's pantry options, pendant lighting, and integrated appliances. We coordinate cabinetmakers, plumbers, electricians, and tilers so your kitchen renovation runs smoothly and finishes on schedule.
A functional laundry makes daily life easier. We transform cramped, outdated laundries into organised, practical spaces with smart storage, quality joinery, durable benchtops, and proper plumbing. Laundry renovations are often completed within 1–2 weeks and deliver an immediate improvement to your home's liveability and presentation.
Adding a second storey is the most effective way to double your living space without losing backyard area. It's a popular choice in Baulkham Hills, where land is valuable and families want to stay in their suburb. We manage structural engineering, council approvals, framing, roofing, internal fit-out, and staircase design. A second-storey addition typically takes 20–30 weeks and transforms a modest home into a spacious family residence.
Your workspace should support productivity and reflect your brand. We renovate commercial offices across the Hills District and Greater Sydney from small professional suites in Norwest Business Park to larger corporate fitouts. We work around your business hours where possible and deliver clean, functional, well-finished spaces on time.
A restaurant renovation requires specialist knowledge of commercial kitchen requirements, health and safety compliance, ventilation, and customer-facing design. We've worked with hospitality operators across Parramatta and Western Sydney to deliver renovations that meet council requirements and create memorable dining environments. We understand the pressure of minimising downtime and will work with you to stage the project efficiently.
Baulkham Hills isn’t like inner-city Sydney. The Hills District has its own building characteristics, planning environment, and site challenges. We’ve seen what happens when builders without local knowledge take on Hills District projects and it’s rarely good. Here’s what we navigate every day.
The Hills District is defined by its rolling topography. Many Baulkham Hills properties sit on blocks with significant fall, requiring retaining walls, split-level designs, and engineered footings. We've completed extensions and granny flat builds on some of the most challenging blocks in the area. We know how to design around the slope not fight it delivering results that look intentional and perform structurally.
A large portion of Baulkham Hills homes were built between 1970 and 1995. Many contain asbestos-containing materials (ACM) in wall sheeting, eaves, and floor coverings. We follow strict NSW WorkSafe protocols for asbestos identification and removal, using licensed removalists where required. We'll never cut corners on this your family's safety is non-negotiable.
The Hills Shire Council has specific requirements for Development Applications (DAs), Complying Development Certificates (CDCs), and BASIX certificates. Navigating this process incorrectly causes costly delays. We've worked within this planning framework for years and know exactly which pathway suits your project saving you time, money, and frustration.
Reactive clay soils are common across Western Sydney and parts of the Hills District. These soils expand and contract with moisture changes, which can affect slab performance and footing design. We work with structural engineers to specify appropriate footing systems for every extension and addition protecting your investment for decades.
We’ve refined our process to give you clarity and confidence at every stage.
We start with a no-obligation conversation in person at your Baulkham Hills property or via phone at 61 2 9072 1905. We listen to your goals, assess your site, and give you honest feedback on what’s achievable within your budget and timeframe. No sales pressure. Just straight answers.
We develop a detailed scope of works, coordinate with designers or architects where needed, and manage all council approval requirements. You’ll receive a clear, itemised quote before any work begins. We explain every line item so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Once approvals are in place and you’ve given us the green light, we mobilise our team. We coordinate all trades concreters, framers, plumbers, electricians, tilers, painters, and cabinetmakers keeping the project on schedule and communicating progress updates to you regularly. You’ll never be left wondering what’s happening on site.
Before we hand over your renovated home, we conduct a thorough quality inspection against the original scope of works. We walk through the completed project with you, address any items on the defects list, and ensure you’re completely satisfied. We don’t consider a job done until you do.
Sydney Home Renovation works across Baulkham Hills and the entire Hills District. We’re familiar with the streets, the blocks, and the building characteristics of every suburb we serve.

What affects your renovation cost:
Site conditions sloped blocks, soil type, and access all influence pricing Structural requirements load-bearing wall removal, engineered footings, and retaining walls add cost Finishes and fixtures entry-level vs. premium materials make a significant difference Approval pathway DA projects typically cost more and take longer than CDC-eligible projects Project size and complexity larger, more complex scopes require more trade coordination
We don’t believe in low-ball quotes followed by variations. You’ll receive a detailed, honest quote upfront and we’ll stick to it. Call 61 2 9072 1905 to arrange your free consultation and site assessment.
It depends on the scope of your project. Minor internal renovations often don't require approval. Extensions, second-storey additions, granny flats, and structural changes typically require either a Complying Development Certificate (CDC) or a Development Application (DA) through Hills Shire Council. We assess your project and advise on the correct approval pathway and we manage the entire process on your behalf.
Timelines vary significantly by project type. A bathroom renovation typically takes 3–5 weeks. A kitchen renovation runs 4–8 weeks. A home extension or second-storey addition takes 20–30 weeks including approvals. A granny flat is usually complete within 16–20 weeks. We provide a realistic timeline in your quote and communicate any changes promptly.
Yes. Sydney Home Renovation holds a current NSW contractor licence. We're fully insured, including home building compensation (HBC) insurance for projects over $20,000 as required by NSW law. You can verify our licence through the NSW Fair Trading licence check.
Absolutely. Full project management is central to what we do. We coordinate all trades — concreters, framers, plumbers, electricians, tilers, plasterers, painters, and cabinetmakers. You deal with one point of contact throughout your renovation. No chasing subcontractors. No scheduling headaches.
Yes, and we take it seriously. Many Baulkham Hills homes built before 1990 contain asbestos-containing materials. We identify ACM during our site assessment and engage licensed asbestos removalists where required, in full compliance with NSW SafeWork regulations. We document removal and provide clearance certificates before any further work proceeds.
A whole home renovation can include structural modifications (wall removal, new openings), updated wet areas (bathrooms, kitchen, laundry), new flooring throughout, fresh internal painting, updated lighting and electrical, plumbing upgrades, new joinery and cabinetry, and external improvements. We tailor the scope to your goals and budget — there's no fixed package. We'll build a scope of works that reflects exactly what your home needs.
Most standard residential blocks in Baulkham Hills are eligible for a granny flat under NSW's SEPP (Affordable Rental Housing) provisions. Key requirements include a minimum lot size of 450m², appropriate setbacks, and infrastructure connections. We assess your block's eligibility in our initial consultation and advise on the fastest, most cost-effective approval pathway.
