​OUr story
Baker Renovations was founded in 2021 by husband and wife duo, Ben & Zarette Baker.
A Palmerston North local with a love for the outdoors-Ben has been in the construction industry for 15 years. Previously working for a well-established building company with a strong focus on character homes, his training was meticulous and his workmanship stands testament to the pursuit of perfection when it comes to his craft.
​
Noticing a gap in the market for smaller scale bespoke building companies that offered end-to-end building and design services they decided to combine their passions and skill sets and Baker Renovations was born. Zarette oversees all things design within the company-Her background in Fine Art, curation and Interior design gives her an excellent eye for detail. She works collaboratively with clients, helping hone in on their overall vision and plays a key role in space planning, selecting finishes, colors, fittings, lighting and styling of their homes.
