SEND A MESSAGE · MURRUMBEENA AND MELBOURNE, VIC
I’m Ivan Bodnar, an independent home renovation specialist working as a sole trader in Melbourne. I’m usually on site during the day, so a written message is the easiest way to reach me. You’ll be talking to the person who inspects your property, discusses the job with you and does the work.

I read each message myself and aim to respond on the same day.
Working in Murrumbeena and across Melbourne and surrounding suburbs. Service area
Rough, uneven plaster or render on a wall. A surface like this needs preparation before any new finish. Reference photo.

A few clear lines save us both a round of questions. Ideally, include:
Your suburb. It tells me where the job is and whether it falls within the area I cover.
The room and the work. For example, a full bathroom renovation, retiling a laundry floor or patching and painting a damaged wall.
What you’ve noticed. Cracked or loose tiles, damp marks, worn finishes or a layout that no longer works for you.
Photos, if you have them. Email a few to [email protected] and use the same name as in your message, so I can match them up.

Your message comes straight to me. If the job looks like something I can help with, the next step is usually a visit so I can look at the room. That might include the walls, the floor and what’s under the existing finish. What a job needs depends on the property’s condition, so I’d rather see it than guess.
Any estimate or quotation depends on the assessed scope, the materials, the existing conditions and anything else specific to your project. Nothing is booked or paid for through this website. We arrange the work directly once you’ve had the quotation and are happy with the scope. The steps are set out in Assessment and Quotation Process.
STILL DECIDING WHAT TO ASK?
Most first messages are about bathroom renovations, but you can also ask about kitchen and laundry renovations or smaller improvements and maintenance. The questions homeowners ask page covers inspections, quotes and scope in plain English.
