| Barbaro Homes noticed.” “It’s not the be-all and end-al for us,” he adds. “The be-all and end-all for us client satisfaction – that’s what drives us and makes the business tick – but to get that kind of extra accolade is very rewarding.” The 2014 award-winning home – which previously won the $250,000 to $300,000 alterations and additions category in WA’s Housing Excellence Awards earlier that year – is located on Woodrow Avenue in Dianella. Prior to Barbaro Homes’ involvement, it had been badly damaged in a fire and was in need of serious refurbishment. Barbaro Homes ended up transforming the burnt out area from a series of pokey rooms, including a dining room, kitchen, and living area, which opened onto a nine square metre alfresco area. The completed renovation saw an open plan living, dining, and kitchen area with tri-slider doors flowing through to a fully tiled alfresco area about three times the size of the previous arrangement. It also included a built in barbeque, sink, hotplate, range-hood, storage cabinets, and a server window from the kitchen.
