Your renovation in Essendon

Renovating an Essendon period home is about balance: restoring the features that give it character, such as ceilings, fretwork, leadlights and timber floors, while bringing kitchens, bathrooms, wiring and plumbing up to modern standards. That's the kind of work we enjoy most.

Essendon is known for substantial period homes, including Victorian, Edwardian, Federation and interwar, on established tree-lined streets, many within heritage overlays.

NMB Homes is a second-generation family builder based in Coburg North. We've been building in Melbourne's inner north and inner west since 1993, under fixed-price contracts, with Ninos personally involved in every job.

What's Included

One builder, start to finish

We manage your renovation from the first consultation to handover, so you deal with one team, not a string of trades.

  • Design and layout planning
  • Permits where your project needs them
  • Structural changes, wall removals and re-stumping coordination
  • Bathrooms, laundries and living areas
  • Plumbing, electrical, flooring and finishes
  • A fixed-price contract and one point of contact

Renovations typically take between 6 weeks and 6 months, depending on scope. We give you a detailed schedule at your consultation, so you know when each room will be back in use.
