Through trial and error, Werine has cosmetically renovated over 20 homes. In the early days she made many mistakes which cost time and money. As a result, she developed detailed checklists to streamline her renovation projects and keep them profitable. Her journey has inspired her to share what she has learned.

She believes her checklists take care of most of the planning so that she can focus on taking action. Her tick-box style of approach is practical, to the point and fast becoming the go-to method for cosmetic renovators. Whether you are renovating a whole house or just a room, the helpful checklists will keep your project on track.
