5.0 out of 5 stars, based on 25 reviews
Outstanding Service
“Tony and Milan redid my tired old-looking floor and skirting in the whole kitchen area. Their attention to detail, prompt, friendly, value for money and service is A+. It's good to see that they take your job as if it's their own home they are renovating. LOVE YOUR WORK GUYS AND THANK YOU. I highly recommend.”
Kitchen and outdoor renovations
“Fantastic service and fantastic price. We had our outdoor area fully tiled and our kitchen renovated. They talked me through the process step by step, did what they promised in the time they promised, were always on time and so very friendly. They even went out of their way with additional extras, running around Melbourne buying everything I needed to take the pressure off me. Would recommend you give them a try. The pricing is very reasonable and affordable, and nothing was too big for them to do. Father and son service, fantastic team.”

Renovating Kitchens in Eaglemont Homes
Eaglemont is a hilly, leafy suburb above the Yarra valley, known for the Mount Eagle and Glenard estates designed by Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin and their winding streets. Homes range from Arts and Crafts and interwar houses to mid-century architect designs on sloping blocks. Original kitchens are usually small and separate, often missing the views the land offers.
Kitchen projects in Eaglemont often involve moving the kitchen to take in views and northern light, opening it to living areas while respecting the home’s character, designing joinery that suits interwar or mid-century detail, and connecting to terraces and decks. Parts of Eaglemont are under Heritage Overlays, so external changes can need a planning permit from Banyule City Council, which we plan for early.

Before You Start
Before You Renovate a Kitchen in Eaglemont
Heritage
Griffin Estate Controls
The Mount Eagle and Glenard estates are on the Victorian Heritage Register and in Banyule’s Heritage Overlay. A kitchen inside the house is rarely an issue, but new windows, doors or a rear addition that comes with the kitchen can need approval from council and possibly Heritage Victoria. We confirm what applies to your lot before design.
Light
Northern Light on Curving Streets
Eaglemont’s curving streets mean houses face every direction, so the original kitchen may miss the sun entirely. Moving the kitchen to a north or east facing room, or adding a highlight window or skylight, can change how the space feels through the day. We check the orientation and any heritage limits on external changes first.
Design
Joinery for Period Homes
Shaker-style doors, timber benchtops and glazed upper cabinets can suit an interwar Eaglemont bungalow, while flat-panel veneer and simple handles suit a mid-century home. Matching the joinery to the era of the house avoids a kitchen that feels out of place. We draw elevations so you can see the result before anything is made.
Trees
Trees and Rear Additions
If a new kitchen comes with a rear extension, nearby mature trees matter. Parts of Eaglemont have Significant Landscape, Vegetation Protection and Environmental Significance Overlays, which can require a permit to remove or lop trees. We locate trees and their root zones before positioning any addition and design the footings around them.
Access
Steep Driveways and Deliveries
Some Eaglemont homes sit well above or below the street, reached by steep drives or long flights of steps. Delivering cabinets, appliances and stone benchtops then needs extra planning and handling. We assess access during the site visit and include it in the quote, so installation day goes smoothly and nothing is damaged on the way in.

Do I need a permit for a kitchen renovation in Eaglemont?
Work inside the house usually needs no planning permit, even in a Heritage Overlay, because those controls mostly relate to external changes. Taking out a load-bearing wall still needs a building permit. New windows, doors or an extension in a heritage area can need approval from Banyule City Council. We check the controls for your address before designing.
Can we open up an interwar kitchen without losing its character?
Yes. Openings framed with matching architraves, keeping original ceilings, cornices and fireplaces where possible, and choosing joinery that suits the era can create open living that still feels like an Eaglemont period home. We note the features worth keeping at the first visit and design the new kitchen around them.
Can the kitchen take in the view from our Eaglemont home?
Often. On hillside blocks, moving the kitchen, or adding a wider window or glazed door to a terrace, can frame views across the Yarra valley. Heritage controls may limit changes visible from the street, so the rear of the house is usually the place to open up. We check orientation and controls early.
Can we keep the original timber floors in our Eaglemont kitchen?
Usually. Original timber floors can be protected during the work and sanded afterwards, with the new cabinetry sitting on top. Where old lino or tiles covered the boards, there may be damage or patching to repair. We lift a small area to check the condition of the boards before planning the finishes.
Should we renovate the kitchen before selling our Eaglemont house?
A dated kitchen in a character Eaglemont home does not always need replacing before a sale, because some buyers plan their own changes. Repairing doors and drawers, updating appliances and lighting, and painting can present it well. A full renovation takes longer, particularly if structural work or heritage approvals are involved, so it suits owners staying on.
