Case Study: House Renovation – South Perth

Located in the established suburb of South Perth, WA, this residential renovation project highlights the successful transformation of a classic home into a refreshed, functional, and character-rich property.

Project Summary

Vidal Construction undertook a comprehensive renovation of this single-storey weatherboard home, focusing on improved street appeal, structural enhancements, and functional outdoor living.

Key Features of the Renovation

  • New Carport Installation
    A large double carport with a modern skillion-style roof was added, supported by timber beams and finished with a clean white underside for a bright, open feel. The carport design seamlessly integrates with the original home’s roofline.

  • Front Facade Upgrades
    The front stairs were rebuilt using red brick and feature wide treads for safe access. New white balustrades and stair railings frame the entrance, giving the home a fresh, coastal-inspired aesthetic.

  • Fencing and Landscaping Prep
    A crisp white picket-style front fence has been installed, setting a clean boundary and enhancing kerb appeal. Soil preparation suggests ongoing landscaping to further elevate the frontage.

  • Improved Access and Layout
    A concrete driveway and entry path were poured to provide smooth, practical vehicle access and a more defined approach to the home.

  • Exterior Enhancements
    The home’s original weatherboard cladding has been retained and refreshed, maintaining its character while blending beautifully with the new architectural elements.

  • Extension added
    An extension to the back of the home has been added to create more space for the property owner.
