What our Clients Have To Say

Project Date: June 2018
Project Price: $100,000 – $149,999

"I was dreading the whole Reno experience with anxiety about getting value for money with the outcomes and standard I expected. Julian and team Mint exceeded our expectations on many levels; and yes it was an intense experience but with careful and constant consultation the results are stunning. The value-add of Julian’s suggestions to improve the standard of what could have been an ordinary off the shelf look to a clearly bespoke and unique finish which took the whole project to another level.

I couldn’t be happier with the final result – thanks Team Mint!"

– Elaine Wright

 

Project Date: September 2020
Project Price: $950,000 - $1,000,000

As this was our first time renovating/extending, we were very apprehensive. A significant amount of time and money had gone into the planning stage (i.e. architecture, engineering, approvals, etc) to ensure that our vision was well documented. The key was finding the right team that could make this vision a reality.
Julian and the Mint team did a great job in achieving this. His builders were craftsmen of the highest calibre, whose focus on quality was second to none. Good communication was also key. At each stage of the build (and after) Julian was clear about: 1) any issues and resolutions; 2) the status of current project work; and 3) future short term and long term modules.

The results (winner of the 2021 HIA-CSR Queensland Housing Awards Brisbane Renovation/Addition Project Over $1 million, and winner of 2021 HIA-CSR Queensland Housing Awards Best Trade Workmanship) speak for themselves.

– Monica Whawell

Project Date: October 2016
Project Price: $10,000 – $49,999

"Julian was very clear in his quoting for some building works at my newly purchased house. He completed the works in good time and the quality was spot on. Throughout the time frame of the works, his communication was excellent and his follow-up was thorough. I have no problem recommending Julian at Mint Homes & Renovations."

– Denis Dardengo

Project Date: 2018
Project Price: $10,000 – 19,999

"Mint Homes and Renovations converted our downstairs laundry and storage area into an extra bedroom for one of our teenagers. Julian was able to move and redesign the laundry to save space, then did a total make over of the area into an extra bedroom with custom made polished cement bench top and sink area and separate toilet. 

Our 15 year old is very happy now. No longer has to share a bedroom with her younger sister. 

The job was delivered on time and I was very happy with the price and workmanship. 

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Julians services."

– Jamie Frazer

Project Date: 2017
Project Price: $10,000 – 29,999

"We hired Mint Homes & Renovations to renovate our tiny bathroom. They did a great job coming in and discussing options with us and costings. Whilst the project was ongoing they kept us up to date really well, especially when we found some poor workmanship from the original builders and non code compliant plumbing.

The finished result is fantastic, and we have continued to use Mint Homes for other projects, and we will continue to do so."

– David Howell

Project Date: 2017
Project Price: $10,000 – 49,999

"Julian has been very respectful and courteous in his dealings with us. He did research into what designs would work for our home, which we appreciated. Up to now he has quoted and work is expected to commence soon. If the quality of his workmanship matches his professional approach in the lead up, then we can expect a good outcome."

– David DeHaas

Project Date: May 2017
Project Price: $10,000 – $49,999

Hired him to do maintenance and then building works across 5 business locations. Great guy, listens and gets the job done at the right price. Good quality work, not all bushy! I will continue to use Julian (Big Jules as I now know him) for all of our building needs in our businesses.

– Andrew Barlow

Renovations, Extensions & Restorations

For a lot of homeowners, extending or renovating is one of the most stressful experiences they will ever endure. For many more, it is a once in a life-time, life-changing event. It can be a time of great upheaval, there is likely to be (temporary) disorder and mess, and there are a multitude of big and little decisions to be made. Furthermore, it is a major financial commitment.

At Mint Homes & Renovations we completely understand this, and are committed to providing you with a complete building service that aims to minimise the stress. We want you to be excited about your project!

We can guide you through your building process step by step, and will be at your side from start to finish.

We have an in-house design service for smaller projects, but we are also happy to engage an architect on your behalf, or if preferred, we can work with your chosen architect or draft-person to achieve your ultimate living space.

As part of the building process, we regularly liaise with the following services on your behalf:

  • Structural engineers
  • Brisbane City Council
  • Town planning
  • Surveyors
  • Building Certifiers

Kitchen and Bathroom Renovations

August 2019 Update: Great news!! We were a finalist in the 2019 Brisbane and Toowoomba Housing Industry Associated (HIA) Kitchen and Bathroom Awards for our category of Bathroom Renovation for $20,000 to $40,000!

With all the property improvement shows on television these days, it is no secret that great kitchens and bathrooms can make a home special. A new kitchen and/or bathroom can also help maximise the value of your property should it come time to sell.

Maybe you need more bench space or greater storage capacity? Do your tiles need to be updated or replaced? Is the floor plan not working for your growing family?

A kitchen or bathroom renovation can be the key to invigorating your home and increasing the value of your investment property.

Repair and Rectification Works

The structural integrity of your house is critical, not only for your family’s safety, and from a  liability perspective, but also to maintain the financial value of your home and/or investment. Mint Homes & Renovations has a myriad of experience in repairing and rectifying damaged homes – from minor to major termite destruction, to water affected property damage, to rotting timber support beams and decks; we can fix almost anything so it is good as new! Don’t risk using an unlicensed/uninsured handy-person, and don’t leave it too late, call us today!

Decks, Decking, Verandahs, Outdoor Living Rooms

There is nothing better than relaxing or entertaining friends and family on your very own timber deck or verandah. Your “outdoor living room” can be any size you want. From small to larger scale projects, we are your dream deck builder!

Council approval may be required for projects over a certain height and size.

Architectural Homes

If you are ready for a new home, why not build from scratch to get exactly the living space you deserve? Work with our design team or bring your own to get the unique home you have always dreamed of.

Or, choose from our selection of project style homes (…coming soon!) to suit a range of budgets and styles.

With every build, Mint Homes & Renovations is passionate about environmental sustainability, so all our project homes aim to minimise our environmental footprint. (For more information about environmentally sustainable building, see www.yourhome.gov.au).

Building can be a very stressful experience, so rest assured at Mint Homes & Renovations, the little big builders, we have the experience you need to personally guide you through the building process step by step.

We want you to be excited about your new home, and aim to be at your side all the way from breaking ground to the hand over of your keys.

We regularly liaise with the following services on your behalf:

  • Structural engineers
  • Brisbane City Council Development Application and Building Approval Departments
  • Town planning
  • Surveyors
  • Building Certifiers
  • Architects
  • Draftpersons
  • Interior designers
