Whether you’re updating a single room or reworking your whole home, we take the time to get it right, with strong planning, clear pricing, and quality that lasts.
Your house renovation is led by a licensed builder, not handed off to a project manager. Jake Kyriazis from JBK Homes remains directly involved on site, working alongside a small, consistent team to ensure quality and attention to detail throughout the build.
We specialise in detailed, well-managed home renovations. From full internal updates to structural work and quality finishes.
We’re based in based in the Yarra Valley and working across metro Melbourne. If the job’s the right fit, we’ll travel.
JBK Homes was founded by Jake Kyriazis, a registered builder and experienced carpenter with a passion for quality residential renovations. After 15 years on the tools across new builds, extensions, and detailed home renovations in Melbourne, Jake now leads a small, multi-skilled team focused on delivering well-managed renovation projects.
We don’t outsource the entire build – we’re there, building it ourselves. With most of the work carried out in-house, we maintain quality, reduce delays, and keep things tidy throughout the job. You’ll get to know us, and we’ll treat your home with respect.
We love working on older homes, especially period and character houses – but we take just as much pride in updating a 70s brick veneer or helping bring a modern design to life. If the goal is thoughtful, practical, well-built spaces, that’s where we do our best work.

Posted on Google Sharon KepperTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have used JBK Homes for several jobs and I have always found Jake to be extremely polite and pleasant to work with as is his team. Nothing is too much trouble and their standard is perfection. He has done several smaller stonework projects for me at my home in Wonga Park which have been completed to my utmost satisfaction. This includes a complete bathroom renovation which included removing all wall tiles and giving the whole bathroom a modern and fresh finish. The latest project he has done for me was a complete renovation of a 3 bedroom with 2 bathroom unit in Warranwood. The result again is amazing with attention to detail showing in every aspect of the work. This was difficult as the tenants were still living in the unit and they only had to move out for 10days in order to complete the flooring. He and his team were extremely respectful of their requirements and worked around their needs. I highly recommend JBK Homes for your next project, his pricing is very reasonable and he comes with complete honesty and openness in his planning and keeps you informed of progress along the way.Posted on Google Joshua NaveTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We contacted Jake at JBK for our home renovation in Greensborough. Jake was originally contracted for the carpentry work, though not only was the work fantastic but Jake also took initiative to manage trades on site and offer advice on improvements. For any of our projects we will be using JBK/Jake again.Posted on Google Sarah SavioTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jake has been amazing to deal with not just for our project but for clients of mine that I refer. The one stand out (besides his craftsmanship) was his communication. I received a generous amount of updates throughout the progress which was handy & he provided recommendations along the way with good justification for long term durability. Look forward to our next project with JBK Homes.Posted on Google Robert KirkbyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jake did a number of fix up carpentry and joinery jobs on our home. He and his assistant were knowledgeable, efficient and straightforward to work with. We are happy with the quality of the work and the overall outcome.Posted on Google NickTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jake and the JBK Homes team were outstanding from start to finish. We did a major renovation to our family home. Jake is a fantastic builder, leader and organiser with extensive trade experience who brings great ideas to every project. His craftsmanship and attention to detail are second to none. Our outdoor entertaining area, custom BBQ, decking, steel doors and concrete-look render exceeded our expectations and were completed on time. Jake and the entire team were an absolute pleasure to deal with, with a special mention to Dan, whose professionalism and workmanship were exceptional. Jake always answered my calls and whether it was after hours or on weekends, his customer service was outstanding. I would not hesitate to recommend JBK Homes. I didn't know Jake or his team personally before the project but I would be more than happy for any prospective client to contact me directly if need be.Posted on Google Tony GiannopoulosTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We engaged JBK Homes to complete a large extention and renovation to our home and we were extremely happy with both the process and the finished result. Jake was professional and took genuine pride in his work. His attention to detail and workmanship were outstanding and he always made the time to discuss ideas and work through any challenges as the project progressed. Nothing was ever too much trouble. The quality of the work was exceptional, communication was always clear and it was obvious that Jake genuinely cared about achieving the best possible outcome rather than simply getting the job finished. We have no hesitation in recommending JBK Homes to anyone looking for a builder for an extension or renovation. Jake is honest, hardworking and delivers a quality result.Posted on Google CaitlynTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently had a bathroom and WIR built by Jake and couldn’t be happier with the result. From the very beginning, Jake was incredibly thorough - everything was clearly explained and quoted properly, so there were no surprise costs along the way. The whole process was organised and stress-free with Jake overseeing everything. All the trades Jake brought in were excellent - reliable and the quality of work was fantastic across the board. We were so stoked to find a builder who is this detailed and transparent from the start. Couldn’t recommend JBK Homes any higher!Posted on Google Megan SkinnerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely fantastic experience! From day one, everything that was promised was delivered. The turnaround time was incredibly fast without compromising on quality. Super easy to deal with, kept me updated all the way through, and the end result is better than I imagined... Highly recommend!Posted on Google Simone TindallTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had 3 people quote for the replacement of a deck on a flat roof and Jake (JBK Homes) quickly became the obvious choice. It was his professionalism and clear communication that was so impressive and helpful. As we didn't know the state of the sub floor and the water proofing situation, there were unknowns. Jake was very transparent and detailed the unknowns and provided best case and worst case and scenarios. Jake was onsite for the whole job with two other quality tradesman, qualified carpenters. Great consideration was given to our family, tidying up each day and a detailed site clean when the job was complete. The result is terrific, couldn't be happier. Quality workman ship and great attention to detail. I would highly recommend Jake and his team, for extensions, renovations and the smaller jobs. I wish I'd known Jake (JBK Homes) when I had my Hampton Californian Bungalow, he would have done a beautiful job there.

Blending Character With Function
This Hughesdale renovation involved reworking the back of a California Bungalow to create a more functional layout for a growing family, without losing the charm of the existing home.
We added a new ensuite and walk in robe, updated the bathroom, and built a full width deck to make the most of the backyard. Inside, we restored heritage trims and matched cornices while upgrading finishes to suit modern family life.
It’s a good example of how JBK balances respect for the old with precision in the new, helping families thrive in homes that feel just right.
