Mentone sits 21 km southeast of the CBD on Port Phillip Bay. The suburb has a village atmosphere centred on Como Parade West, a strong education precinct with four private schools, and a heritage-listed station rebuilt below ground in 2020. Home renovations in Mentone serve a mix of interwar and post-war housing stock across blocks of 500 to 700 sqm.
HBK Constructions provides bathroom renovations, kitchen renovations, and full home renovations across Mentone. Median house prices between $1.22 million and $1.37 million sit below the Bayside suburbs to the north, making Mentone attractive for families looking for coastal proximity at a more accessible price point. Owner-occupancy is 65.6%.
Mentone’s housing stock mixes interwar homes from the 1920s and 1930s with post-war brick veneer from the 1950s and 1960s. Some Victorian and Edwardian homes survive near the station and foreshore. Cream and blonde brick veneer is the dominant post-war type. Growing townhouse and apartment developments line Nepean Highway.
Mentone Station sits on the Frankston line, roughly 41 minutes to the CBD. The station was heritage-listed and rebuilt below ground in 2020. The shopping village along Como Parade West provides cafes, restaurants, and local services.
The education precinct is a major drawcard. Mentone Grammar, Mentone Girls’ Grammar, Kilbreda College, and St Bede’s College are all within the suburb. This drives family demand and renovation activity as parents invest in properties near preferred schools.
Kingston Council has more than 120 heritage places across the municipality. A Heritage Review is underway, with consultation running through early 2026. Coastal overlays apply near the foreshore, including the Special Building Overlay and Land Subject to Inundation Overlay. Sea level rise vulnerability has been identified in CSIRO research.
Mentone has a Heidelberg School art connection. Tom Roberts and Charles Conder painted here. The suburb’s demographic profile skews toward 40 to 49 year olds, predominantly couples with children.
Bathroom renovations in Mentone address the dated wet areas in 1960s and 1970s homes. Full strip-out, modern waterproofing, new tiling, and contemporary fixtures are standard. Interwar homes with original bathrooms need more extensive work including replumbing and potentially structural modifications.
Kitchen renovations in Mentone convert closed-off post-war kitchens into open-plan living areas. Removing the wall between kitchen and dining, adding an island bench, and creating flow to the back garden is the typical brief. Interwar home kitchens follow the heritage-sensitive approach used across our Glen Eira and Bayside work.
Home renovations in Mentone include rear extensions, second-storey additions for bay views, and outdoor living upgrades. Rendering or re-cladding cream and blonde brick exteriors is a popular project that transforms the home’s street presence.
For properties near the foreshore, coastal considerations apply. The Special Building Overlay and inundation overlays affect some properties. We design renovations that account for these requirements.

When it comes to laundry renovations, we have a ton of experience and understanding. Perhaps you’d want your laundry room to be transformed into a European-style laundry room contained in a kitchen closet or a hallway cupboard. Maybe you want an open laundry room with a mudroom.

A mid-range kitchen renovation in Mentone costs $25,000 to $50,000. This covers new cabinetry, benchtops, appliances, and tiling. Projects involving wall removal or layout changes sit at the higher end. We provide a fixed-price quote.
Some Mentone properties near the foreshore fall under the Special Building Overlay and Land Subject to Inundation Overlay. These require additional planning consideration. Properties near the coast also need materials suited to the marine environment. We factor all coastal requirements into renovation designs.
A bathroom renovation in Mentone takes 3 to 5 weeks including strip-out, waterproofing, plumbing, tiling, and fixture installation.
Mentone falls under the City of Kingston. The council is currently conducting a Heritage Review that may add new protections. We check your property’s overlay status during our initial assessment.
Yes. Rendering or re-cladding cream and blonde brick veneer homes is a common project in Mentone. This transforms the home’s appearance and can be combined with other renovation work for efficiency.
