House Extensions & Major Renovations in Lower Hutt
Sometimes the home you’re in just needs a bit more space. Whether it’s extending the living area, adding another room, or building upward with a second storey, we help homeowners across Lower Hutt and Wellington expand their homes in a way that feels natural and well-built.
Need More Space? Improving Your Home Might Be the Answer
Moving house isn’t always the best solution. Sometimes the better option is improving the place you already live.
Extensions and large renovations are bigger projects, though. They involve structural work, multiple trades, council approvals, and careful planning so the new work ties properly into the existing house.
At Pharaoh Construction, we guide you through that process step by step. We stay responsive, communicate clearly, and solve problems as they come up so the build keeps moving forward.

Adding Space That Feels Like It Was Always There
A good extension shouldn’t feel like an add-on. Whether you’re adding another bedroom, opening up the living area, or converting a garage into usable space, the goal is for the new work to blend naturally with the rest of the home. We pay close attention to structure, layout, and finishes so the final result feels cohesive rather than patched together.

Complex Repairs & Re-cladding
Some renovations start because something isn’t working the way it should. If your home is dealing with weathertightness issues or signs of a leaky building, repairs need to be handled carefully. These projects can involve removing cladding, fixing structural damage, and rebuilding parts of the exterior properly. Our team has experience with this kind of remedial work around the Hutt Valley and understands the care and attention it requires.
