Welcome to Rag Reno's: Crafting Memories, Not Just Homes

At Rag Reno's, our ethos is simple: we believe that the process of building and renovating should be as remarkable as the end result.


Founded with a clear vision, we set out to transform the often-intimidating world of construction into a journey filled with excitement and positivity. Whether you're a valued client, a dedicated subcontractor, or a member of our passionate team, our commitment is to make this experience memorable and stress-free.

John, our founder, hails from a lineage of builders. From early days working alongside family members to honing his craft in London's upscale renovation scene, John's extensive hands-on experience in the industry is both diverse and rich.

However, it was his return to New Zealand in 2011 that marked the inception of Rag Reno's. Initially a modest little company, we started with the support of his parents and have since flourished. Today, it stands as a testament to years of dedication, with John at the helm alongside his wife, Sarah.

Our approach is rooted in authenticity and integrity. From small renovations in our early days to more expansive projects now, our promise remains unchanged: genuine assistance, transparent pricing, and an unwavering focus on quality.
