Home Restorations in Taupō
Taupō blends lakeside holiday homes and baches with permanent residential areas and fast-growing new subdivisions — a town where renovation, new builds and weathertightness work are all in strong demand. As a family-run, NZCB-certified builder working across the central North Island, RB Thomas specialises in bringing older and damaged homes back to life — structural repairs, weathertightness and character-preserving restoration. Whatever the condition of your Taupōhome or project, you get the same promise we’ve built our name on — projects on spec, on time, on budget.
What home restorations looks like in Taupō
Restoration is about retaining what makes an older Taupō home special while quietly bringing it up to modern standards. We handle structural deterioration, water and fire damage, pest and borer repair, and tired old heating and plumbing — using traditional craft where it matters and modern methods where it counts. The goal is a home that keeps its character but is warm, dry, safe and sound for decades to come.

They said it, not us
“I have had the privilege of using Jake as a builder and project manager on numerous occasions. I can honestly say you will never find a more honest and genuine man. His workmanship is second to none and he communicates through every step of the build/renovation and makes sure you understand the process. I couldn't recommend him highly enough.”
