Shelley sits in a sweet spot: quiet, well-established, close to the river and with the kind of block sizes that give you real options when it comes to renovating. It's the sort of suburb where people buy intending to stay, and where a well-planned renovation can genuinely transform how your home works for your family.

Refresh Renovations works with homeowners in Shelley and across South East Perth to plan and deliver renovations that are worth doing, properly managed and finished to a standard you're proud of.

Renovating in Shelley

Most of Shelley's homes were built from the late 1960s through to the 1980s. They tend to be brick, reasonably well built, and sitting on decent blocks. What they often lack is a layout or finish that reflects how families actually live today: separated rooms instead of open plan living, small bathrooms, kitchens that were designed around a different era, and outdoor areas that haven't been touched since the original build.

There's also a lot of room on many Shelley blocks to extend, add a bedroom, or build out a proper alfresco setup, which gives renovation projects here more options than in some denser suburbs.

What We Do

We manage the full range of residential renovations in Shelley, including kitchen renovations, bathroom renovations, full home renovations, house extensions and bedroom additions, alfresco and outdoor entertaining areas, deck and patio renovations, open plan living conversions, home office conversions, and exterior recladding.

Most projects we work on in Shelley involve a combination of these. A kitchen and bathroom at the same time, for instance, or an extension that includes a new bedroom and an outdoor entertaining area. We're set up to manage that complexity so you don't have to.

A Process That Takes the Stress Out of It

Renovating is a big deal. It's your home, it's a significant amount of money, and it involves strangers in your space for weeks at a time. The way Refresh works is designed to reduce that stress as much as possible.

You get a single point of contact in your project manager, a fixed quote before work begins, and a clear timeline. Trades are coordinated for you. Council approvals are handled where needed. And we don't consider the job done until you've walked through the finished space and you're genuinely happy with it.

Serving Shelley and the Surrounding Area

Our South East Perth team covers Shelley along with Cannington, Bentley, Belmont and Como. If you're on the border of Shelley and one of the neighbouring suburbs, we're still your team. We know this part of Perth well and we work here regularly.
