Old homes are all we do

Ridge & Beam restores, extends and modernises Dunedin's villas and character houses. Twenty years of it, and still only the old ones.

Character homes, treated like they matter

For twenty years we have worked on Otago's villas and character homes, restoring, extending and modernising the ones worth keeping. Sashes, scrims and native timber joinery get repaired, not ripped out.

We take on just eight to ten renovations a year, so every house gets the attention an old one needs. The rot and borer come out early, priced honestly, and the house goes back warm, dry and still itself.

An old house has already survived a century. Our job is the next one.

What owners say

“They treated our 1905 villa like it mattered. Warm and dry at last, and it still feels like our house.”
Fiona Aitken, Roslyn
“Honest quote, honest timeline, and they found the rot without turning it into a horror story.”
Callum Reid, Mornington
