Let’s start with the obvious: a smart renovation can seriously increase your home’s market value. Adding a modern kitchen, second bathroom, open-plan living area, or a second storey makes your home more desirable to buyers—and in many cases, boosts its resale potential. Especially in competitive Auckland suburbs, even minor upgrades like energy-efficient windows or an upgraded laundry can push your property’s value upward.
Many older homes were built in an era when lifestyle needs were very different. A renovation helps align your space with how you actually live now. Need a dedicated work-from-home office? Want a better kitchen layout that flows naturally? Or a bigger living space for a growing family? Renovating helps restructure the layout, improve traffic flow, and eliminate awkward dead zones—making your home more livable and intuitive.
Growing family? Blended households? Maybe you’re ready for a guest room, gym, or media room. Renovations like second-storey additions, attic conversions, or even a backyard granny flat let you create extra living space without the hassle of moving. Especially in high-demand Auckland areas where upsizing is costly, staying put and expanding is often the smarter, more affordable choice.
Older homes often lack proper insulation, modern wiring, or energy-saving features. A renovation gives you the perfect opportunity to address that. You can add double-glazed windows, upgrade to LED lighting, improve insulation, or even install solar systems. Not only does this reduce your energy bills, but it also creates a more comfortable, future-ready home.
This is one of the most overlooked but powerful benefits. A well-renovated home feels good to live in. You enjoy hosting guests again. You smile when you walk into your kitchen. You relax more in your bathroom. A renovation isn’t just a change in appearance—it’s an upgrade to your daily experience. And that kind of joy is priceless.
Moving into a new house often means settling for someone else’s vision. Renovating your existing home puts the control back in your hands. You get to choose the colours, layouts, textures, and design features that reflect your style. Whether you want minimalist chic, heritage charm, or bold, modern lines—your home becomes a true reflection of you.

Choosing the Right Waterproofing for Your Home
Liquid Membrane Waterproofing
This method involves applying a liquid coating—usually polyurethane or acrylic—that dries into a flexible, seamless membrane. It’s one of the most versatile waterproofing solutions out there. Because it stretches and flexes with the surface, it’s ideal for high-movement areas.
- Best for: Roofs, terraces, and decks
- Why choose it: It’s UV-resistant, long-lasting, and capable of bridging small cracks without failing. Great for areas exposed to sun and rain.
Cementitious Waterproofing
Made from a mix of cement-based products and additives, this type is commonly used in interior wet zones. It binds well to concrete and masonry, making it perfect for structures that won’t see much movement.
- Best for: Bathrooms, basements, and water tanks
- Why choose it: It’s affordable, easy to apply, and very effective in areas with consistent water exposure like tiled wet rooms or storage tanks.
Bituminous Membrane Waterproofing
This is a heavy-duty waterproofing method involving a pre-fabricated, bitumen-based sheet that’s applied to surfaces for maximum protection.
- Best for: Foundations, flat roofs, and podium slabs
- Why choose it: It’s highly resistant to water ingress and designed to handle water pressure, making it ideal for foundational or sub-ground protection.
Polyurethane Waterproofing
Highly elastic and adhesive, polyurethane coatings work well even on irregular or curved surfaces.
- Best for: Bathrooms, balconies, and exposed concrete
- Why choose it: It cures quickly, adapts to movement, and performs well under both indoor moisture and outdoor weathering.
Injection Grouting & Crack Sealing
This technique involves injecting resin or grout into cracks to stop water at its source.
- Best for: Basements, concrete slabs, and older structures
- Why choose it: It’s precise, non-invasive, and reinforces weak spots while preventing future leaks.
Acrylic Paints
Acrylic paints are flexible and weather-resistant. They’re often used for both interiors and exteriors because of their excellent adhesion and long-lasting quality.
- Best for: Exterior walls, facades, and even furniture
- Why choose them: They resist flaking, cracking, and fading, making them ideal for homes exposed to sunlight and moisture.
Distemper Paint
An old-school, economical option often used for temporary finishes or utility areas. While not as durable as modern paints, distemper has a chalky, vintage charm.
- Best for: Warehouses, temporary constructions, ceilings in lesser-used spaces
- Why choose them: They’re budget-friendly and easy to apply.

How Our Waterproofing Process Works
We like to keep things clear and thorough, from inspection to final seal.
Everything starts with a personal visit to your property. Our experienced waterproofing specialist will carefully inspect the affected area, assess any visible damage, and identify moisture entry points and underlying issues. You’ll receive a clear, upfront recommendation on the best solution for your situation, along with an honest, no-obligation quote.
There’s no “one-size-fits-all” solution when it comes to waterproofing. Whether you're dealing with an old plaster home in Remuera or a new build in Albany, our team selects the most suitable method — be it membranes, liquid coatings, injection systems, or sheet barriers — matched perfectly to your surface type, exposure, and budget.
Good waterproofing starts with great preparation. We thoroughly clean and prep the area, which may involve removing flaking paint, stripping failed membranes, treating mould or mildew, repairing cracks, and smoothing out surfaces. This ensures that your new waterproofing layer bonds properly for long-lasting results.
Using advanced equipment and techniques, our trained technicians apply the chosen waterproofing system with care and precision. Whether installing sheet membranes on a roof or applying liquid coatings to wet areas or block walls, we pay attention to every seam, joint, edge, and potential weak spot, leaving no room for leaks.
Once the waterproofing layer is in place, we allow sufficient curing time to ensure full performance. After curing, we conduct thorough leak testing and visual inspections to confirm total coverage and integrity.
Finally, we clean up the site, leaving it tidy and ready for use. We walk you through the results, provide after-care advice, and ensure you're 100% satisfied. With First Home Services, your waterproofing will stand the test of time.

Benefits of Waterproofing Services
Waterproofing is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your home or building, especially in a climate like Auckland’s, where heavy rain, humidity, and coastal weather can cause long-term damage if left unchecked. Professional waterproofing delivers far more than just a dry interior. Here are the key benefits:
Increases Property Value
A home or commercial property that is professionally waterproofed is more attractive to buyers. It signals that the property is well-maintained and less prone to water-related issues, boosting its market value.
Energy Efficiency
Dry walls and insulation perform better than damp ones. Waterproofing helps improve your home’s energy efficiency, keeping interiors warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
