Refresh, don’t remodel

You might not need a whole new kitchen.

Plenty of Gold Coast kitchens have a perfectly good layout and benchtop hiding behind tired doors. Ripping it all out costs a fortune. Darren’s speciality is the other option: new doors, drawers and cupboards built to fit what you already have, plus smarter storage in the spots that never worked.

That’s exactly how one customer found him. Several Gold Coast kitchen renovation companies pointed her his way when she was torn between a full remodel and a cosmetic update to her 15-year-old kitchen.

The work

Before and after, straight from customers’ phones.

No staged shoots. These are the photos customers posted with their reviews once Darren had finished.

The same laundry after: stone-look benchtop, inset sink, glass splashback and timber-look cabinets
After

A laundry, start to finish

Old tub out, full-length benchtop and cabinetry in. Darren also organised the plumber to move the taps under the cabinetry.

What Darren builds

From one spare door to a whole house.

A kitchenette with white overhead cupboards, timber-look base cabinets with brass pulls and a bar fridge nook

Colin’s kitchenette: “We just love our kitchenette and would highly recommend his services”

  1. 01

    Kitchen refreshes

    Love your layout and benchtop but not the tired doors? New drawers, doors and cupboards on the kitchen you already have, without the cost of a full remodel.

    As mentioned by Maine, Aleesha Buckby, Margaret & Garry Robinson

  2. 02

    New kitchens

    Complete kitchen installs, with every door checked, aligned and finished properly before he calls it done.

    As mentioned by David Richmond

  3. 03

    Doors, splashbacks and benchtops

    The quickest way to bring a dated kitchen back to life. One customer’s 80s kitchen was turned around with new doors, splashback and benchtop.

    As mentioned by Darren Hayes

  4. 04

    Laundries

    Full laundry fit-outs with benchtop, sink and cabinetry. Darren can organise the plumber for taps too, so you are not chasing two trades.

    As mentioned by Paula A

  5. 05

    Kitchenettes

    Compact kitchenettes with full cabinetry, down to a nook built in for the bar fridge.

    As mentioned by Colin Price

  6. 06

    Media walls

    Built-in media walls, made to fit the room.

    As mentioned by Universal Pools & Spas

  7. 07

    Clever storage

    Dead space and awkward cupboards turned into storage that works, including appliance cupboards that hide the toaster, kettle and coffee machine.

    As mentioned by Maine

  8. 08

    Shelving, spare doors and supply-only

    Small built-ins and shelving, replacement doors (two water-damaged doors were made while one customer waited), and cabinetry or edging cut to size if you want to fit it yourself.

    As mentioned by Jules M, Caitlin Quarmby, Margaret & Garry Robinson

The workshop

Made on Manufacturer Drive, not pulled out of a flat pack.

ASAP Installations works out of its own workshop in the Molendinar industrial estate. Because Darren makes the cabinetry himself, he can size it to your room, fix a problem piece fast, and turn small jobs around quickly.

From scratch

“Builds his own cabinetry from scratch.” Colin Price

10 days

Aleesha’s doors and cabinets were delivered within 10 days, even mid warehouse move.

Same day

Two water-damaged doors for Jules, made while she waited.

Small idea, big difference

A home for the toaster, the kettle and the coffee machine.

Part of the job is seeing what a kitchen could do better. For Maine, that meant using the dead space around the fridge and turning awkward, half-useful cupboards into proper storage, finished off with an appliance cupboard so the benchtop stays clear.

“He even built me a fantastic, clever space to hide away my small kitchen appliances!”

Kitchen refresh
Darren Borg came highly recommended by several Gold Coast kitchen renovation companies when I was on the fence about doing a full remodel versus just making cosmetic updates to my 15-year-old kitchen. Since I already loved our layout and benchtop, I only wanted to refresh the drawers and cupboards. Darren’s company, ASAP Installations, was the perfect fit! He brought so many brilliant ideas to the table, maximising dead space like the area the fridge and turning awkward, semi functional cupboards into seamless, highly functional storage. He even built me a fantastic, clever space to hide away my small kitchen appliances! I am incredibly grateful for his top-tier craftsmanship and his amazing patience as I navigated through different options. He completely understood my vision, and gave me my absolute happy kitchen in the end! I cannot recommend Darren enough-he is a genuine, honest and great bloke and an utmost professional.

Laundry
I’m over the moon with my new laundry completed by Darren who knows his stuff. He also organised an excellent plumber to delete some taps and install new ones under the cabinetry. He turned up when he said he would and was so accomodating with my last minute changes. His price was excellent. Can’t recommend him enough.

80s kitchen update
Darren doesn't look like your typical tradie. Don't let that fool you! Darren knows his stuff and seamlessly updated our kitchen doors, splash back and bench top to bring a dated 80's kitchen back life. If you are looking for a business that is willing to work within your budget, give you great ideas and is easy to communicate with have no hesitations in contacting Darren at ASAP Installations.
