We had a seemless experience with Steve and Lisa renovating our bathroom. Despite the Covid lockdown hitting early in the project, Steve and Lisa remained professional, approachable, timely and kept us informed from start to finish. They managed to complete the build on time and the finished product is of high standard and we love it. Very highly recommended

If you are considering getting a bathroom/kitchen refurbished and want a professional approach to help and guide you through the process. Then I'd suggest giving Steve from Tommico Renovations a call. From the itemised quote detailing each step, to the attention to detail of the finished product. We knew what to expect from the onset, because the process was explained and itemised in the quote. Something that we didn't receive in other quotes, that virtually left us looking at just a figure. We weren't living in the property renovated and Steve kept us updated with photos of the progress. There

Steve and his incredible team designed and built a fantastic en-suite. Communication, his team, and quality of the build is superb. In fact we are now using Tommico again on other home renovations.

Steve and his team did a great job on our kitchen at Banksia. It was a pretty big job involving new walls, new floors, new back door and servery window.
Having never done a renovation before we had lots of questions - Steve kept us involved at every stage, explaining the process in detail and was also involved in many of the design elements also. We enjoyed working with Steve and his team on this project and everyone worked so hard with lots of hard deadlines they had to meet. We highly recommend Tommico to anyone needing a reliable builder to work on their project and will certainly use them

Thank you Tommico Rennovations! We were so hesitant to start our bathroom renovation, but after a friend recommended we chat to Steve we felt we were in good hands right from the first meeting. Steve and his team were great to deal with, they built our Glebe bathroom with lovely herringbone tiles. The end result looks amazing and the whole job went very smoothly.

As a first time renovator, modernising my 90s apartment was a daunting prospect. Tommico helped with every step of the process - from plans to strata submissions, to full project management. I felt safe in Steve and his crews hands - everything had been thought through with a great amount of detail, each element of the Reno was clearly outlined, and all costs were transparent. Having an easy flow of information, project management and care meant I could really trust that the outcome was going to be the quality that I expected, with no hidden surprises. And I couldnt be happier with the
