Lia Boersma is a Renovation Consultant of Silkworm Ltd, a franchisee of Renovation Franchise Ltd, doing business in Wellington.

For Lia, relationships are critical to success when it comes to renovations. They’re the difference between simply getting the job done and a great outcome for clients. 
From the beginning of any project, Lia’s highest priority is getting to know her clients and establishing a good flow of communication. Understanding aspirations and applying her years of industry knowledge and construction expertise to deliver creative and bold solutions is what motivates Lia. She believes that effective communication between her customers and her team is the key to delivering the fantastic results she has become known for.
The basics of delivering a great outcome are thorough design, planning and project management, which is only achievable with good relationships and communication – including having the right team of trades and suppliers on the ground at the right time. With an extensive background in corporate management, Lia has the edge when it comes to managing the kind of risk and complexity that comes with home renovations.
There’s no one size fits all and every project has its challenges, but whether it’s driven out of an idea or concept, or to solve a problem or meet a different kind of need, there’s nothing Lia loves more than to see a collaboration come to life. Her aim is to work with her clients and team to achieve nothing less than the best – and exceeding expectations.

Our customers have good things to say about 

Lia Boersma

When we bought our first house three years ago we knew it needed some work, but thanks to Lia and her team we've started 2023 in what feels like a brand new home. Our little 1960's weatherboard house has been modernised without losing it's 'Kiwi' character. A bright new open-plan kitchen/lounge, a seperate laundry, toilet, and bathroom, along with a master bedroom with walk-in wardrobe. All which was done on time, and during a pandemic - very professional. It is a home we are very proud of, and we have you, Tina, Mike, and all your team to thank. Yours Sincerely Tony and Yuki

Guy and his team have worked on two renovations for us and both have been hassle free thanks to their professionalism, consideration and can-do attitude. Genuinely helpful, adaptable in their work and very tidy! A real pleasure to deal with, we wouldn't use anyone else for our building work.

Thank you so much Refresh, Lia and team for making our bathroom renovation so easy and for taking care of all the details for us, especially in seeking out all the fixtures and fittings we wanted and managing the schedule and tradies. The whole experience was very low stress and now we have a light and modern bathroom instead of a dark outdated one – wonderful.

Lia and her team are dedicated to providing an exceptional quality service. They are passionate about helping their clients and ensuring that they meet their needs and support them through the process. Highly recommend!

Charlotte Moodie

, Refresh Customer

Although, in the end, we decided not to proceed on a conversion idea, the service we received from Lia and her team was exemplary. Our wishes were respected and the options available to us were clearly explained. We felt fully informed and are confident that we received the best advice at all times. We are more than happy to confirm this comment at any time.

The team I dealt with (Lia Boersma) were friendly, honest, efficient and had great communication.

James Skinner

, Refresh Customer

The completely non-stressful way to do renovations. Get Refresh! Lia and her team did a great job on our ensuite - just what I wanted. This is the second time I have used Refresh - the first time involved a cost-effective solution to our garage and parking issues. It is fantastic. Refresh listens and comes up with a solution based on the customer's needs and budget. Would highly recommend.

⁠— 

Jane Coster

, Refresh Customer

Lia and her team are customer-focused, efficient and extremely effective at what they do. Solutions are based on the customer's needs and budget. Would highly recommend using Refresh for a worry and hassle-free renovation - imagine someone else organising everything and tradies coming on time!! Wonderful.

Jane Coster

, Refresh Customer

We had renovated a previous house ourselves and knew this would be a large job. We were attracted by the idea of having the work professionally project managed to ensure that it was done on time and to budget. We initially met Lia at a home show and were impressed enough to request a site meeting to talk through what we wanted done. After discussing our ideas with them and suggesting solutions, Lia and her team began putting together a design. Lia was excellent at preparing the initial quote, finding ways to fit the work we wanted done into our budget, and then overseeing the ongoing work with (construction manager) Milo. We were particularly impressed with her estimates as they were pretty much spot on…(She) was unfailingly polite and patient in her dealings with us and managed our expectations well. She also provided good advice about interior design.

I commissioned Lia and her team to do an extension at my property, I found Lia and her team to be very helpful, trustworthy and the quality of the work was of a very high standard. The organisation and communication was excellent, overall I'm extremely pleased with the whole project and the way it turned out. The house now looks very modern and the extension doesn't look like an extension, it looks as it is part of the house.

⁠— 

Michael Rebucha

, Refresh Customer

I was extremely please with the way Lia and Refresh Renovations carry out the extension at my property, that I had no hesitation in asking Lia and her team to renovate my bathroom. The service from design to the finish bathroom, the approach, attention to detail and professionalism as well as the communication was as good as the first time, the quality of the workmanship was again to a very high standard. Lia's knowledge in the products was a great help in finalizing the look of the bathroom. I’ve recommended Lia and Refresh Renovations to a number of people and won’t hesitate to used them again.

My experience with Lia and her design team has been outstanding. New to renovation, and living overseas, I approached the idea of work on my house with some anxiety. The team at Refresh Renovations talked me through every step - making sure I was comfortable with the process. They spent the time to find out exactly what I envisioned the end result looking like. Their patience, creativity, clarity and genuine personal investment in the process has made the experience wholly enjoyable. Thank you!

Lia and her team at Refresh are such a breath of fresh air. Easy to deal with, extremely responsive and professional and what's more, they know their stuff and have a nice way of helping their clients achieve their goals.

We’re still often finding ourselves just staring at the finished article and marvelling at what our home looks like now. A big thank you to Refresh, Lia and all involved.

⁠— 

Paul Molloy & Lisa Maria

, Refresh Customer

Lia is amazing. We had some renovation work done to our place 12 months ago. Throughout the process she was incredibly professional, and made sure our needs were met. During the lockdown recently, we noticed a leak in the ceiling (on a Friday night to make things worse). We emailed Lia, and within an hour we had roofers organised for the next day, and all covered under their warranty. We were incredibly impressed with this, and shows that the ongoing support will be there. It is one thing to have a good experience during the work, but to maintain this level after completion is on another level. If I could rate Lia and her team higher I would. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone.

⁠—

Lia at Refresh Renovations is incredible - so reliable and knowledgable. Can't thank her enough for all of her hard work and professionalism.

⁠— 

Sara Tansy

, Refresh Customer

It was clear what our wish-list was, but this didn’t always quite line up with our budget and Lia managed this very well  – we’ve just never learnt how to do that when we’ve tried to do it by ourselves.
Lia was very hands on right through from concept through to completion, including managing the drawings process, council approvals, liaising with suppliers, and offering knowledge on the selection of products.
There’s genuine complexity with some of this stuff, Lia was really good. Occasionally we’d make a call and say something’s not right, and she was nothing but proactive in owning the issue with us and making it right.
We were extremely pleased with the end result.

Lia has worked with us on some renovations to our nearly 100-year old house, and we are very pleased with the outcomes. The overall quality of the workmanship has been very high, and Lia has been practical and pragmatic in dealing with any changes that arose as we went along.

1. Tina, our Designer helped us make practical decisions about the layout and functionality of our bathrooms. She also recommended products when we didn’t have a clue what to get.

2. Danielle, our Project Manager was amazing. Her planning and management of the renovation meant we always knew what was going on and kept everything on schedule. Even when there were slight delays, they did not affect the overall timetable. The project started and finished on the exact days it was supposed to.

3. Communication was always clear and prompt. We got updates as the project progressed and questions were always answered.

4. The tradies we had in our house were all friendly, polite and extremely competent.

5. When I wanted a few extra jobs done around the place it was never a problem. The result was a stress-free renovation that is absolutely beautiful. Months on, I still get a thrill from using my bathroom and laundry. They have made such a difference. Thanks!
