Renew is our name and water is our game.

Founded in May 2006 by Cory Powell, the Renew journey started as a one-man band with just a power washer and a car.

We now have a fleet of vehicles, an all-Bermudian ‘Renew Crew’ of seven, a warehouse, workshop, offices, mobile trailer washing units, high-lift equipment and a distributorship for world-renowned waterproofing product XYPEX.

Mr Powell, owner of Renew Ltd, said: “Bermuda is going through a rough patch at the moment but those who have worked to build relationships with their clients and put the customer first during the high times, can make it through the hard times.

“We strive to provide the very best service for our customers and that’s what Renew is built from.

“We’ve worked hard to build a strong reputation within the industry and to recruit and support a strong team of Bermudians.

“A company is nothing without its employees and when they can enjoy their job, know they are respected and feel a sense of pride in what they do, it’s good for them and it’s good for business.”

Water and tank maintenance

We’re heading into what seems like an early drought season this year and there are a few things we should all start to do.  

• Check your water supply often

• Order your water well in advance

• Check to see if roof gutters are clear and clean  

• Always conserve water where and when you can.

If you do find you’re low and it’s been more than five or six years since your last roof or tank cleaning, maybe now is the time to get it ‘Renew’d’.

Call us. We will examine your project, provide a written quote or estimate, clean, disinfect, inspect, repair and waterproof your tank or roof, leaving you with a peace of mind that the job has been handled by professionals.

Waterproofing

Renew Ltd is also the certified distributor, technical service provider and installation specialist for XYPEX Concrete Waterproofing products.

With Bermuda’s unique build design of concrete and Bermuda stone, combined with our proximity to the ocean and driving wind and rain, we are susceptive to water and salt intrusion throughout our homes. This causes concrete and plaster deterioration.

That’s where XYPEX comes in. XYPEX will close the pores of new and old concrete and plaster finishes, thus holding back the flow of moisture through the surface. XYPEX is potable water-approved and is safe for water holding structures such as our Bermuda tanks and cisterns.

Pressure washing and restoration

Our restoration and pressure washing division carries a wide array of water saving and recovery equipment, as well hot and cold water washing units.

From cleaning a simple set of slippery steps to a full home or building wash down, keeping Bermuda beautiful is our game and we take pride in every job we do.

We recently introduced Farrow abrasive blasting to our restoration division.

From boat bottoms, concrete and brick, to steel, wood and aluminum, the Farrow system can help ‘renew’ even the most difficult of coating removal challenges.
