We handle home renovations across Christchurch, guiding you from the early ideas through to the finished build. Our renovation builders are experienced in a wide range of projects, from full home updates to simple changes that make a big difference.
Whether you're updating a single room or reworking your layout, we’ll work closely with you to understand your needs and make sure the process stays clear and on track. With Trent Builders, your renovation is in good hands – we’ll help turn your plans into a home you’ll enjoy for years.
Starting a home renovation is a big decision. It often comes with a mix of excitement and uncertainty, especially when you're thinking about costs, timeframes, and how everything will come together. Whether you’re planning small updates or a full home alteration, having the right team beside you makes all the difference.
Our team at Trent Builders has worked on a wide range of home renovations across Christchurch. We understand that every home and every project is different. That’s why we take the time to listen, plan properly, and make sure you’re fully informed from the beginning.
We help homeowners navigate key parts of the renovation process—like setting a clear budget, choosing materials that fit your space and lifestyle, and understanding what to expect at each stage. Good communication is a big part of how we work. We keep you updated, answer your questions, and help avoid unnecessary surprises.
If you're looking for reliable renovation builders in Christchurch who care about doing the job right, Trent Builders is ready to help. From first ideas to final details, we’ll work with you to create a space that works better for how you live now.
A successful home renovation starts with smart planning and a clear budget. Understanding where the main costs will come from is one of the most important steps before any work begins. Our renovation team focuses on helping homeowners prepare properly from the start.
It’s also wise to allow for the unexpected. We recommend setting aside about 10% of your total budget as a safety buffer. This covers any unplanned costs that may come up and helps the project stay on track.
Before the work begins, take time to think about your goals. Are you upgrading your family home or working on a rental property? Each type of renovation requires a slightly different approach, whether that’s creating a more comfortable living space or boosting the property’s value.
If you're ready to start planning, our experienced renovation builders are here to help. We can guide you through budgeting, timelines and practical decisions to get your project underway with confidence.
Trent Builders specialises in home alterations that transform your living space to suit your needs. With years of experience, we focus on delivering quality renovations on time and within budget. We work closely with you throughout the process to ensure the final result is exactly what you envisioned.
Whether you're adding a new room, updating your kitchen, or completely redesigning your home, our team takes the time to understand your goals. We aim to make your renovation project as smooth and stress-free as possible, offering practical advice and reliable services every step of the way.
If you're looking to make changes to your home, we’re here to help bring your ideas to life. Let’s work together to create a space that works for you.
"Thank you for making our dream at Port Levy come true, you did a fantastic job managing the project and kept the build within budget and ahead of time, we are absolutely delighted and would recommend Trent Building Solutions to everyone."
Ali & Mike - Hillside in Port Levy (Christchurch)
"Richard and his team at Trent Building Solutions were great to work with throughout the building process. Not only did they keep us informed as to time frames for the build and then stick to them, but they often went the extra mile and took the time to come up with some creative and cost effective solutions that now add the WOW! factor to our home. Their experienced team know what works and what doesn't, and it was great to be able to call on their experience in delivering to us a fantastic new family home. Thank you Trent Building Solutions!"
Anthony Inwood - Large family home on lifestyle block
"When we looked for a builder for our new home we placed our trust in personal recommendations because we wanted someone who had a good track record and had earned respect for quality. Quality of build, quality of sub contractors and quality of client/builder relationship. Richard and his team at Trent Building Solutions delivered on these points and many more.
We had exacting expectations which our foreman, Brad, took to enthusiastically and proactively resulting in a build that succeeded beyond our expectations.
Regular site meetings as well as honest and clear communications resulted in no surprises and an environment that was a pleasure to be part of.
Now we get to "pass it forward" and recommend Richard and his team to you to build your home. Enjoy the journey – we certainly look forward to taking it again soon."
Rhys Smith and Daniel Munns - Merivale, Christchurch

Aileen - Rolleston
"The builders know their stuff even with a few odd situations they had solid solutions that look great. They were always on time, work was impeccable and they are genuine good buggers.
Very highly recommend, in fact I’ve already recommended TBS to a friend."
Simon - Diamond Harbour
"We had a fantastic experience working with Trent Builders. Their team was professional, friendly, and courteous throughout the entire project. We especially appreciated how they consistently maintained a clean and tidy workspace at the end of each day.
One aspect that stood out was the supportive and educational approach one of the builders took with an apprentice. His patience and willingness to guide, while encouraging the apprentice to think through solutions, was truly impressive and speaks volumes about the company’s culture.
We would not hesitate to engage Trent Builders again for future projects and highly recommend them to others seeking quality workmanship and a professional team."
Christine - New Brighton
"We engaged this team to carry out some building work on our home, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. From the outset, they helped us scope the job clearly and gave us great advice on what actually needed to be done. Their communication throughout the project was absolutely spot on.
They coordinated the trades seamlessly around our access needs, and left the site in immaculate condition. We’re absolutely wrapped with how it all turned out.
Really practical, down-to-earth guys who were a pleasure to deal with. The workmanship exceeded our expectations. Thoroughly recommend. Thank you again!"
Hannah - St Albans
