What Our Clients Say
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.”

Tony was always available to answer my questions and addressed all concerns promptly. The kitchen looks amazing. I highly recommend Smarter Home Renovations.”
Renovating Kitchens in Newport Homes
Newport sits next to Williamstown in Melbourne’s west, with a strong railway history and streets of Edwardian weatherboards, Victorian workers’ cottages and interwar bungalows, plus postwar homes in West Newport and newer townhouses. The kitchen in older homes is typically at the back, often in a lean-to, small and disconnected from the garden.
Common Newport kitchen projects rebuild lean-to kitchens with insulation and new framing, open into a rear family room, add pantry and bench space, and connect to the backyard with glazed doors. Floors between old and new sections often need levelling. Parts of Newport are covered by heritage overlays, so we check with Hobsons Bay City Council before any external changes are made.

Before You Start
Before You Renovate a Kitchen in Newport
Heritage
Heritage Precincts in Newport
Newport has several heritage precincts, including the Newport Estate residential precinct near Newport Lakes and the Halls Farm Estate precinct. A kitchen extension on a property in one of these overlays usually needs a planning permit for the outside changes. Overlays can be reviewed over time, so we check the current planning scheme map, not an old property report.
Light
Low Ceilings at the Back
The rear section of many Newport weatherboards has a lower ceiling than the front rooms, which makes the kitchen feel cramped. Raising the ceiling as part of a rebuilt rear wing, or adding raked ceilings and high windows, brings in light and space. We check the roof framing to see what height is possible.
Outdoor
Doors to the Garden
Newport’s long backyards suit a kitchen that opens straight onto a deck or courtyard. Replacing the back wall with sliding or stacking doors needs a properly sized beam above the opening. We plan the opening with the kitchen layout, so the bench and sink are not cut off from the doors.
Design
Postwar Kitchens in West Newport
Houses in the West Newport Estate, built by the Housing Commission after the war, usually have a small kitchen beside a living room with a modest floor area. Removing a wall between them, or extending at the rear, can create a kitchen and meals area. We check whether the wall is load-bearing and if the heritage overlay affects any external changes.
Energy
Moving From Gas to Electric
When an older Newport kitchen is replaced, many owners consider an induction cooktop instead of gas. Induction needs a dedicated circuit, and an old switchboard may need upgrading. The gas outlet is capped by a licensed gasfitter. Our licensed electricians complete the work and issue a Certificate of Electrical Safety.

Will a new kitchen in my Newport home need a planning permit?
A kitchen fitted within the existing rooms usually does not. Extending at the rear, adding a window or changing the roof can need a planning permit if the property is in a Heritage Overlay, and an extension needs a building permit. We check your property’s overlays with Hobsons Bay City Council before design.
Can we level the floor between our old Newport house and the kitchen?
Usually, yes. Floors often step down or slope into the rear section of Newport weatherboards because the lean-to was built later on different footings. Rebuilding the rear floor, restumping or packing the framing can bring everything to one level. We survey the floor levels before the kitchen is designed.
How long will we be without a kitchen in our Newport home?
For a kitchen replaced in the same position, the main disruption is between removing the old cabinets and fitting the new benchtops, which are measured once the cabinets are installed. Rebuilding a Newport lean-to or extending adds time, particularly if the floor needs levelling. We give you a written schedule and help plan a temporary kitchen setup.
Should we update the kitchen before putting our Newport house on the market?
A tired kitchen at the back of a Newport weatherboard can colour how buyers see the whole home. New benchtops, cabinet doors and handles, better lighting, a working rangehood and fresh paint often make the room presentable without major work. A new kitchen extension takes longer and may need permits, so it suits owners who will stay.
