Home Renovations Corio
If your Corio kitchen, bathroom or laundry is showing its age, Pacific Edge Homes can help. We take on selected renovations here and look closely at the existing room before giving you a quote.
What to expect when renovating an older Corio home
Corio is one of Geelong’s northern suburbs, close to the western shore of Corio Bay and within the City of Greater Geelong. Plenty of homes here have original or decades-old kitchens and bathrooms, which is often where a renovation starts.
With an older room, demolition can uncover things a quote has to allow for, such as tired wall linings, uneven floors or a shower that has been leaking for a while. If your home was built before 1990, we also discuss asbestos testing before any sheeting comes out, so the job is planned safely from day one.

How a regional renovation runs
Corio is a drive from our Melbourne base, so we settle the details early. These are the steps from first contact to handover.
- Call or send photos. Tell us about the room and send photos so we can discuss scope and rough options.
- Site visit. We arrange a visit to measure, check the existing services and confirm what is involved.
- Written quote. You receive a written quote that sets out what is included before anything is booked.
- Planned site work. Trades are scheduled in sequence, and materials are confirmed ahead of time.
- Handover. We walk through the finished work with you and explain care of new finishes.

Renovating in Corio: common questions
Can you take on a renovation at my Corio address?
We take on selected projects in Corio. Contact us with a few details about the room and we will confirm availability and the next step.
How do I know if my bathroom has asbestos?
You cannot tell by looking. Homes built before 1990 may contain it in wall sheeting or old floor coverings. Asbestos Victoria explains how to find and identify it, and we recommend testing before demolition if there is any doubt.
Is it better to renovate the kitchen and bathroom at the same time?
It depends on your budget and how long you can manage without each room. Doing both in one project can mean less disruption overall, while staging them spreads the cost. We can plan either way.
What happens if you find a problem once the old tiles are off?
We tell you straight away, explain the options and agree on any change in writing before continuing. Inspecting the room properly before quoting reduces the chance of surprises.
Do I need a permit for a bathroom renovation?
Some bathroom updates do not need one, while structural changes can. The Building and Plumbing Commission outlines when a permit is needed, and we will tell you if your plans are likely to require one.
