Dedicated professionals with a passion for transforming homes and creating beautiful, functional spaces.
The journey behind Washingpurge and our commitment to excellence
Founded in 2010 by James and Emily Washingpurge, our company began as a small family business with a simple mission: to provide high-quality home renovations with exceptional customer service.
After years working for large construction firms, James and Emily saw an opportunity to create a renovation company that truly put clients first—focusing on clear communication, quality craftsmanship, and respect for homeowners' visions.
Starting with small kitchen and bathroom remodels in the Orewa area, our reputation for excellence spread quickly through word-of-mouth. Today, we've grown to a team of skilled professionals handling comprehensive home renovations throughout New Zealand's North Island.
Despite our growth, we maintain the personal touch and attention to detail that defined us from the beginning. Every project, regardless of size, receives the full dedication of our experienced team.
