Upright Construction has been renovating and building homes across Sydney for more than 15 years, and the St George area is one of our most active regions. From the brick homes of Kogarah, Hurstville and Bexley to the waterside properties around Sans Souci, Ramsgate and Brighton-Le-Sands, we help local homeowners renovate, extend and rebuild with a team that understands the area.
Home Builder and Renovation Services in St George
Whether you are updating a single room or planning a full rebuild, our licensed team manages every stage of the project, from council approvals through to final handover. Our most requested services in St George include:
- Kitchen renovations – modernising the galley kitchens common in St George’s post-war brick homes.
- Bathroom renovations – updating original bathrooms and improving layout and storage.
- Home extensions – rear extensions and second-storey additions to make the most of larger St George blocks.
- Whole-home renovations – larger projects that combine structural, electrical and plumbing work under one build program.
- NDIS home modifications – accessible bathroom, doorway and ramp modifications for St George residents.
Renovating for St George’s Mix of Homes
St George is home to a wide mix of housing, from Federation and California bungalow homes in Carlton and Allawah to the post-war brick homes found throughout Hurstville, Penshurst and Bexley, plus waterfront and near-waterfront properties around Sans Souci and Sandringham. We tailor every renovation to the age and construction of the home, whether that means matching period detailing or fully reconfiguring a dated brick veneer layout.
With Kogarah and Hurstville town centres seeing significant unit and townhouse development, we also work with owners looking to update or extend established houses before selling, subdividing or simply staying put and improving their existing home.
Why Local Homeowners Choose Upright Construction
Every project is personally overseen by our licensed builder, Rabih Haidar, and backed by a 7-year structural warranty and a 3-month maintenance period after completion. We provide transparent, itemised quotes so there are no surprises once work begins, and we coordinate directly with council, trades and, where needed, your architect or designer.
If you are still in the planning stages, our guide on planning a home renovation in Sydney is a useful starting point, and our cost guides for kitchen renovations and bathroom renovations will help you budget before you get a formal quote.
