Renovations

If you look up ‘daunting’ in the dictionary you’ll see it defined as ‘complete apartment renovation on top floor without an elevator’. Throw in some strict deadlines to have everything... read more completed and we were looking at a potential real headache. As they say in the classics, cometh the hour, cometh the man. From start to finish Luke was responsive, solutions focused and committed to delivering exactly what we wanted on time. Ours was a relatively complex job – complete bathroom and kitchen redo with added cabinets in bedrooms and hallway. Like any renovation there were some differences to the original quote due to things discovered along the way and after the demo but this was communicated. The trades Luke works with are the real deal, especially the demo guys, plumber and electrician. And they move at pace, there is no messing about when it comes to these guys. We’re stoked with the final product and would recommend Luke for someone looking to tackle an apartment renno!

Luke and his team did a great job renovating my bathroom . I’m a plasterer by trade and have a keen eye for detail and these guys definitely passed my... read more fussy standards. Couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Thanks Luke!

We have just completed our second bathroom renovation with Luke, and once again we couldn’t be happier with the result! Our renovation was anything but straight forward. There were some unexpected... read more hiccups along the way due to some dodgy old home-builder work that was uncovered, however Luke and his team were laser-focused on finding solutions and getting the reno back on track. I genuinely doubt other builders could have resolved those issues so quickly and effectively - but Luke just gets it done! The various trades involved were all very high quality, nice people to deal with, and always left the site as clean as possible. I noticed they all spoke very highly of working for Luke, which further paints the picture that this is a reputable company that delivers high quality work. Thanks again for everything Luke!

We’re super happy with our new bathroom thanks to Luke. He gave us great advice, he was extremely responsive to all our questions (eg responding instantly to texts anytime of... read more the day) and he was a wizard at marshaling all the tradies to get the job done fast. Would definitely recommend!!

Luke did a complete renovation on our ensuite a couple of years ago which we were super impressed with. We are now getting Luke to renovate our main bathroom and... read more hopefully in a couple of years our kitchen as well. We can't recommend the service and workmanship enough, they are true professionals.

We bought a fixer upper home that needed quite some work. We wanted to go with someone who knew what they were doing and could deliver fast results so we... read more didn’t have to live in an unfinished building site for weeks on end. Luke and his team ticked these boxes for us and we liked that he was direct, straightforward and got things done well within the timelines he provides. The team works like a really well oiled machine - perfectly coordinated! Each team were experts in their own respective trades, and took a lot of pride and care in their work; professional and incredibly hardworking. Having an older home there were a few additional things we had to get sorted, and it was great to have Luke and his team guide us through them. All in all, super thrilled with the huge transformation of our home and will be back for our second bathroom in the future, which is a testament to them. Thanks guys! What we did: Converted an old laundry room into a fully functional laundry + bathroom. Kitchen joinery + moved the kitchen to a new space and closed existing kitchen. Redid all the lights in the house. Before and after pictures attached.

My husband and I undertook an extensive apartment renovation project in a tightly managed strata building. We are very thankful to have found Luke to manage our project. Luke was responsive... read more and flexible, he worked with us to meet the sometimes unrealistic requirements of our starta committee. All of the trades completed their work to an exceptional standard. Luke was present daily to ensure that specific design elements of the renovation were completed to a premium level. This ensured each of my designs came to fruition. He is reliable and does what he says. Like with all projects there were some differences with the original quote, due to design changes, enforced starta process, extra materials etc. Luke's process made this clear to us from the outset and there were no surprises at the completion of the renovation. We recommend Luke and will most definitely work with him for future projects. If you are looking for an expert renovation manager who is reliable, honest and fast Lukes Renovations is your answer.

We went through a thorough vetting process before we finalised on Luke's Renovations for our project. We have not been disappointed. The speed, precision and quality of the end result... read more has been amazing. Eye to detail and timely accurate advice has been very helpful throughout. We had our share of hiccups along the way in our project but these were resolved efficiently. The photos of before vs after speak for themselves. Thank you to the entire team!

We recently had our bathroom renovated by Luke’s Bathroom Renovations and we couldn't be happier with the results! From start to finish, their efficiency and professionalism were evident. They completed... read more the project on time and within budget, all while maintaining the highest quality of work. Every detail was meticulously attended to, and the final outcome is nothing short of fabulous. The team was courteous, respectful, and always kept the workspace clean. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch renovation services!

We can't thank Luke and the team enough for their renovation of our old sunroom into a luxurious bathroom. Luke made us feel comfortable and at ease from the get-go... read more and was super responsive throughout the entire journey. What should have been a 4-6 week job was completed in 2 weeks and within our quoted budgets. We'd highly recommend Luke for anyone looking to redo their bathroom too the highest quality 👏👏

From start to finish Luke's team was a well oiled machine. Couple of unforeseen discoveries after demo which required a bit of a re-design but nothing was a problem. Luke's... read more project management & communication is exceptional. All the tradespeople were punctual, polite, respectful and tidy. Super happy with the result. Would HIGHLY recommend Luke.

Cannot recommend highly enough. So professional, efficient and responsive. A huge thank you to Luke and all of the team who have completely revolutionised my apartment!

I highly recommend Luke and his team. I initially had my 2 bathrooms fully renovated in a small apartment. The first thing that was great was having one person organise... read more and coordinate all the tradies needed. Second was the project management of everyone lined up each day. All of them worked well as a team seamlessly and supported each other. All were friendly, helpful and respectful. I’m very picky and particular. They all had practical suggestions to make the final outcome better and would double check with me as they worked to ensure they were doing what I wanted before they’d finalise things. Third was the time to complete, 2-3 weeks (2 weeks basically done then just had to wait a week for the glass that can’t start until final measurements). Yes problems were encountered as they worked through things and discovered issues but were able to adjust to address. For the same size rooms I feel I now have more space but more importantly functionality. Oh and it looks great. High quality. 5 years later everyone is amazed it still looks brand new. Why 5 years later? Well now doing my kitchen and laundry in the same unit I obviously chose Luke and his team again. Now that they are also completed the comments are much the same as above so won’t repeat all. But I again have small rooms that now feel bigger more in them and more functionality. High quality. I feel I have a whole new place and love the rooms. While problems and issues arose during work each tradie went above and beyond to investigate and resolve. Thanks Luke and your team (sorry before and after pics below aren’t professional, don’t do the work full justice)

Luke and his team completed my bathroom in just 2 weeks - works occurred as planned every day and it was finished to the highest quality. Thank you for bringing... read more my dream bathroom to life. Highly recommended!!

Luke did a fantastic job on my bathroom renovation, which was a complete overhaul and included moving some fixtures. He did the whole job in two weeks and stuck to... read more his timetable. He communicated clearly so I knew exactly what he needed from me to get the job done. The quality of the work was excellent - his team paid close attention to the details, and produced a beautiful result.

Luke runs a highly professional and well organised operation to deliver excellent results in a short space of time. Hired Luke to do an ensuite renovation which was completed... read more to a high standard in about two weeks. He and his subbies were great communicators which was very helpful not having done a renovation before.

Thank you Luke for completing my awesome bathroom renovation. You and your team of trades were on time, professional and good humored. I couldn't be happier with end result. And... read more all done within 10 working days too !

Luke and his team are amazing - in under two weeks they gutted our old bathroom and built the bathroom of my dreams! Luke was great to deal with throughout... read more the whole process: always responsive, happy to answer questions, gave good suggestions, and gracefully managed the inevitable “joys” of strata living. Luke is friendly and approachable, and has done a wonderful job - can’t recommend him enough! Thank you.

I hired Luke recently to renovate the bathroom/ laundry in my recently purchased house in leichhardt. There were 3 immediate challenges out of the ordinary. 1. Work needed to be... read more completed in a tight time frame. 2. I had no time to choose the new fittings and 3. I would be out of the country while work was in progress. A 4th challenge became apparent when there was found to be an incomplete floor - the old bath was sitting on dirt!! This is a very old house so now we needed a new floor! I came back on 8 November 10 days later with the job completed. The room looks larger and the design is just what I wanted. I feel I had great value for money.

Definitely deserves a 5 star rating. Thank you so much Luke & the team❤️. Your professionalism, fast response, & superb team coordination, to have everything done in 2 wks was... read more unbelievable! We felt like we were in good hands dealing with you, everything was seamless & the result is AMAZING! You will hear from us again for other jobs! #lavabiancotiles #meirtigerbronze #concavekitkat

We had an amazing experience with Luke and his team. The tasks were all lined up and every small and big job was done in timely and very efficient manner.... read more Highly recommend Luke. Some before and after pictures. Thanks again.

Title: Outstanding Full Refurbishment Experience with Luke and His Team I cannot express enough how grateful we are for choosing to work with Luke and his team for the full refurbishment... read more of our apartment in Waterloo. From start to finish, the process was seamless and exceeded our expectations in every way. Luke took the time to truly understand our vision and requirements, and he and his team executed it flawlessly in every room of our apartment. What was once a 20-year-old space now shines as a luxurious, brand-new residence. The transformation included a complete overhaul of the kitchen, two bathrooms, laundry room, floors, and built-ins, leaving no corner untouched. The professionalism and craftsmanship displayed by Luke and his team were truly remarkable. Not only did they deliver on their promises, but they also completed the project ahead of time. Our new apartment is quality and exactly what we wanted. Do yourself a favour and pick the best on the market.

We have so many regrets hiring Luke’s Renovations for our bathroom reno. We didn’t check licence details beforehand and wish we had. Hopefully sharing our experience will help others. First the... read more good stuff: Luke probably does a good job if you leave him alone to do his thing and don’t get on his bad side. He was very responsive in the early days and even helped answer questions on the weekend while we were shopping for parts (it was a very last min job) A lot of his subcontractors seem like good people who did a good job. Eg there was good thought put into how the wall tiles should be cut, the siliconing looks good, the people who did the demo work & architraves seemed very customer focused which we appreciated However the number of headaches we experienced on this job outweighed the positives, and turned this reno into a nightmare: Poor communication & planning led to a number of fixtures installed in the wrong places. When we asked for some of this positioning to be fixed, the tradies said it would be no problem, but Luke refused (his response was “can’t do it” with no explanation) Due to a design decision Luke made without consulting us, a strip of unpainted timber became exposed all around the walls of the bathroom. Luke said we’d have to pay extra to fix it. In the end we had to hire someone else to fix it for us at our own expense. [Update: Due to a letter we received from Luke’s lawyers threatening legal action for posting this negative Google review, I have now removed details of the incident that occurred when I raised this issue with Luke, due to the serious nature of what I posted. All I will say is that I feel Luke has a strong misogynistic streak and very old-fashioned views on how men should treat women] Quote omitted costs for shower screens and installation, replacement, patching drill holes & painting of window architrave and doorframe (we didn’t even know they were being replaced) - in the end I had to paint these myself while pregnant Misleading timeline - we hired Luke based on his promise of a completed bathroom in 2 wks. He mentioned halfway through the job that the shower screens would take 4 wks, and we could just put towels on the floor to catch the water! (He did end up pushing it through in 2 wks due to fear that we wouldn’t pay the final instalment) Cracks in grout appeared after 2 days (his subcontractor did come back to re-grout) Drainage from the shower appears slower than before the reno, resulting in slight flooding during showers. We’ve had independent tradies & a building inspector inspect it & all verbally agreed that something isn’t right, but technically the gradient of the floor meets required standards so there isn’t much we can do Add-ons that Luke verbally agreed to at the start of the job (eg pipe cover to conceal a pipe), he changed his mind towards the end of the job and said he wouldn’t do it anymore, without any explanation. We got frameless shower screens & the gap between the door & screen is large enough that our bathroom floor is often a puddle by the time we step out. I believe the gap meets required standards (albeit at the larger end) so not a defect, though we wish someone had told us this would be the outcome Any complaints we raised about any of the above invariably led to responses along the lines of “get lost”, “you know nothing” etc. There wasn’t any attempt at being professional, polite or helpful Technically nothing he has done was illegal so there is nothing we can do about it, except learn from our mistakes and protect ourselves more with future renovations. For anyone who ends up hiring Luke, I would recommend just keep your wits about you, do your own thorough research upfront, check the quote has covered every detail and have EVERY detail & agreement in writing

Luke and his crew did an amazing job of my bathroom renovation. Start to finish was only 2 weeks! Highly recommend Luke's Renovations!

We did our renovations with Luke. Extremely happy with the team and the service that was provided. They are absolutely amazing. Covered all the work we needed done. Definitely would recommend him to family... read more and friends.

Amazing job! Thank you so much to Luke and his team

If you're after a high quality bathroom reno done in record speed, you can't go past Luke and his team! Having never gone through a renovation before, I was worried... read more about how disruptive it would be. But the whole process went very smoothly; the team had two bathrooms done in just over a month (one at a time), with minimal disruption. Great communication throughout, and his team go above and beyond to ensure everything is completed to a high standard. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Luke to others (and already have)

Luke’s Bathrooms recently renovated my mothers 45-year-old bathroom, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The team was extremely punctual and delivered high-quality workmanship, completing the entire renovation in... read more just five days. They went above and beyond by laying plastic throughout the apartment stairwell to be considerate of the strata community and neighbours. After the renovation, they left everything spotless, which took a lot of stress off my mother’s shoulders. Highly recommend their services!

We had Luke and team renovate two bathrooms in our Sydney terrace. The process and teamwork is very efficient and streamlined, and the results were great! We had... read more a small issue/change in the middle of the job regarding scope of the project, Luke addressed it overnight with little fuss and we are grateful for a much better outcome. Highly recommend!

You're in very safe hands with Luke and his crew for your reno. Would definitely use again. High quality job, competitive pricing and done exactly on time. He is blistering... read more through renos which I presume is why he's able to offer such good pricing, but he's got long-standing relationships with his trades, and it shows in their work. Timing - every other bathroom remodeller I went to quoted 4-6 weeks. He knocked it over in 2 weeks. This was simply gold in my case as we only have one bathroom and moved out during the reno. Pricing - the price was the price, no surprises at all. I got a lot of quotes and Luke's pricing was extremely competitive compared to other bathroom remodellers. The only guys coming in cheaper didn't give me confidence. Luke gave us a lot of confidence with both impressive reviews, a whole catalogue of previous work on his website and insta, and quick and clear comms and quotes. Quality - They did an incredible job and despite doing it so quickly still really cared about finishes. A few examples that stuck out to me: 1. The plumber asked me when roughing in whether the new shower was the same dimensions because he noticed that the existing outlet was about 30mm off centre and he was going to move it. The new shower size meant it was already centred, but it showed attention to detail right from the start. 2. The tiler really thought about the layout. The tile insert shower drain lines up with the corner of 2 tiles to minimise extra cuts/grout lines. All edges don't have any thin cuts that you see on tiling jobs that haven't had their layouts planned well. 3. They chose angle colour to match tile transitions at corners for a really seamless joint 4. 60 seconds after arriving they place liner from your front door to your bathroom to protect the floor.

Luke and his team recently completed a renovation including a new bathroom/laundry, a new kitchen and revamped the entire back of our house…what a legend! He was extremely helpful and... read more professional throughout the whole process. His communication was always prompt and open..we couldn’t ask for more! We would highly recommend Luke and his team to anyone thinking of renovating..you won’t be disappointed!

Luke and his team did an amazing job with our bathroom and laundry renovation. He was professional, punctual, honest and very organised. All trades happened on a timely basis and... read more the project was done so quickly which helped as I was managing my other renovations. Luke was very responsive and if there were any issues he was quick to look into it and provide solutions.

The quality and efficiency of Luke and the team’s work is first class. Our bathroom renovation was a tough one due to the small space. Luke was knowledgable... read more and so accommodating, fitting in everything we wanted and delivering an amazing result. Luke also moved our laundry and, again, it was tough to do. Nothing is too much trouble and, as our first ever bathroom renovation, he even tolerated all my constant questions and texts! Don’t use anyone else and we hope to work with the team and him again.
