Who does kitchen renovations in Kiama?

Modern View Constructions is a locally owned Illawarra builder servicing Kiama and the surrounding villages. We design, build and install complete kitchen renovations, build the cabinets in-house and coordinate the licensed plumbers and electricians.

Kiama is one of the more heritage-rich towns in the Illawarra, known for its sandstone buildings and a strong concentration of weatherboard and sandstone cottages, many dating from the late 1800s and early 1900s. Renovating a kitchen here often means working with the character of the home rather than against it: respecting the original proportions, high ceilings and timber detail while bringing the kitchen up to a modern standard.

Kiama is also a coastal sea-change and holiday destination, so plenty of kitchen projects are in weekenders and second homes. That changes the planning: access, timing and keeping you informed matter as much as the finishes.

Kitchen work we take on in Kiama

  • Kitchens in older cottages and character homes
  • Compact and awkward layouts made to work better
  • Custom cabinetry, benchtops and splashbacks
  • Butler's pantries and extra storage
  • Kitchens in weekenders and holiday homes

Good to know: we focus on full kitchen renovations. We're not the right fit for one-off repairs or small odd jobs.

Kiama homes

What should you know before renovating a kitchen in Kiama?

Character cottages

In sandstone and weatherboard cottages, the aim is a kitchen that feels like it belongs. We talk through cabinetry style, benchtops and finishes that suit the age and look of your home.

Small or awkward layouts

Older Kiama kitchens are often compact, with the room tucked at the back of the house. Careful design makes better use of the space, and we can talk through options for opening it up.

Salt air and humidity

Kiama sits right on the coast. Hardware, tapware and finishes need to cope with salt air, so we choose products that suit coastal conditions.

Weekenders and holiday homes

If you are not living in the house during the job, clear communication matters. We keep you updated through the renovation, so you know where things are at without having to be there.

Layouts and finishes

Which kitchen styles suit Kiama homes?

Period-friendly joinery

In cottages with high ceilings and timber detail, joinery with a shaker or similar traditional profile sits comfortably with the rest of the house, while still giving you modern storage.

Compact kitchens, planned tightly

Where the footprint is small, full-height cabinetry, deep drawers and careful appliance placement get more out of every square metre.

Low-maintenance for second homes

Durable benchtops and easy-clean finishes suit a house that is used in bursts, and are easier to look after if it is sometimes let out.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Modern View Construction on a major renovation project, and we couldn't be happier with the results. They knocked down half of our house, replaced the old laundry and bathroom, and then extended our home by adding two beautiful new bedrooms. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless. Jimmy, the lead builder, is an absolute legend. He was not only highly knowledgeable and skilled but also incredibly easy to talk to. He kept us informed every step of the way, ensuring we always knew what was happening and what to expect next. Jimmy's professionalism is unmatched. He had all the necessary insurances, which gave us peace of mind throughout the project. His dedication to quality and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of the build. The craftsmanship is top-notch, and the new spaces have exceeded our expectations in every way. We highly recommend Modern View Construction to anyone considering a renovation or new build. They are a fantastic team, and we are thrilled with the outcome of our project. Thank you, Jimmy and the crew, for making our vision a reality!
