Modern kitchen with white cabinetry, a gray backsplash, a central island with glass barstools, a coffee machine, and a sliding glass door leading to an outdoor space.

Home renovation

“Highly recommend Ryan and his crew at Rākau. They replaced our windows, designed and planned our bathroom, kitchen and living space. The impact of these changes has been transformative. Thanks team!”

Deck addition

“Rākau completed our deck, which has been on the cards for years! Ryan’s ideas and expertise made the design aspect less intimidating for us. We love our deck and the flow it has created from our kitchen and dining space.”

– Rachel H.

Modern white kitchen with island, two wooden stools, black refrigerator, built-in oven, stove, white subway tile backsplash, window with greenery outside, and pendant lights.

Home renovation

“In a way, it’s hard to believe this is the same house! So much has changed, but the essence & bones are still the home we have enjoyed and will continue to create memories in. Putting our trust in Ryan and the Rākau crew was an easy decision and one we will make again if the time comes.”

– Tam M.
