About Us

Auckland's renovation team, with a fast lane.

Add Value Makeover is the quick-turnaround arm of the Add Value Group — built for one job: getting your home looking its best and worth more, in the weeks before it goes on the market.

Our story

It started with one room.

The Add Value Group began the way a lot of good things do — with a problem at home. Founders Simon and Joanna needed more space but didn't want to move, so Simon, a builder by trade, turned their spare room into a master suite. It worked beautifully and lifted the home's value, but the journey through design, consents and trades was stressful and slow.

That experience sparked a simple idea: renovations go wrong when no one's managing the whole thing properly. So in 2014 they built a company that does — one team handling design, costing and build under a single contract. Hundreds of Auckland homes later, that's still how Add Value works.

Add Value Makeover takes that same team and points it at a specific moment: when you're about to sell. Same crew, same guarantee, same standards — just focused on speed, value and a fixed timeline.

Why we exist

Sellers don't need a renovation. They need value, fast.

When you're selling, you don't have months for a full reno, and you shouldn't spend new-kitchen money on a house you're about to hand over. What you need is the right work, in the right places, done quickly — so the home photographs well, shows beautifully, and sells for more than it would have tired.

That's the whole reason Add Value Makeover exists: a tight, fixed-price programme that adds value where buyers actually look, and nowhere they don't.

What guides us

The values behind every job.

Integrity & transparency

Fixed prices, honest advice, and no surprises halfway through. You'll always know what's happening and what it costs.

Customer-centric

Your sale, your timeline, your budget come first. We scope the work around what actually moves your result.

Quality craftsmanship

Fast doesn't mean rough. Every finish is held to the same standard as our full renovations — guaranteed.

Timely delivery

A locked schedule we actually hit, so your home is ready for photos and the market exactly when we said.

Respect & teamwork

One crew, one point of contact, a tidy site, and people who treat your home like it's their own.

Adding real value

Every dollar is aimed at your sale price — refresh what shows, leave what doesn't, and never overspend.
