FAQ

Planning a renovation is a big decision, and it is natural to have questions. At Renovario, we believe in full transparency and clear communication from day one. Below, you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our process, costs, and timelines to help you get started.

Services & Scope

Do you offer comprehensive “turnkey” renovation services?

Yes, absolutely. We specialize in general renovations for apartments, houses, and commercial properties. We manage the entire process for you: from initial consultation and planning, through demolition, technical installations, and finishing works, all the way to final cleaning and handing over the keys. You don’t need to worry about coordinating different trades—we handle it all.

Do you work with older buildings (Altbau)?

Yes, we have extensive experience renovating Berlin’s classic Altbau properties. We understand the specific challenges of these buildings, including modernizing old electrical and plumbing systems, leveling uneven walls and ceilings, and preserving historical charm while updating the layout.

Do you also handle smaller renovation tasks?

Yes. While we specialize in full renovations, we are happy to take on specific smaller projects. Whether you need professional painting, floor replacement, electrical upgrades, or the modernization of a single room, we are here to help.

Do you renovate bathrooms and kitchens?

Yes, these are some of our most popular services. We execute complete bathroom and kitchen makeovers—from removing old tiles and fixtures to installing new water, sewage, and heating systems, followed by precise tiling, painting, and the installation of sanitary ware and furniture.

Process, Time & Cost

Can I get a free quote?

Of course. We offer a complimentary, non-binding consultation at your property. After inspecting the site and discussing your needs, we prepare a detailed and transparent cost estimate. We believe in clear communication, so you will receive a quote with no hidden costs.

How long does a renovation usually take?

The timeline depends on the project’s scope. Smaller renovations typically take 2 to 4 weeks, while comprehensive general renovations generally range from 6 to 8 weeks. Before we start, we always provide a realistic schedule so you can plan accordingly.

Do you help with selecting materials and design solutions?

Yes. We don’t just build; we advise. We help you choose the right materials, optimize your room layout, and select the best technical solutions. If your project requires complex design work, we can also collaborate effectively with architects and interior designers.

Do you provide a warranty on your work?

Yes. We stand by the quality of our craftsmanship. We provide a warranty on all our services in accordance with current German construction standards, giving you peace of mind long after the project is finished.

Management & Communication

Will I have a dedicated contact person?

Yes. We assign a dedicated Project Coordinator to every client. This person manages the schedule, the construction team, and material logistics. You will have one single point of contact for all updates and questions, saving you the stress of managing multiple contractors.

 I don’t speak German fluently. Can we communicate in English?

Absolutely. We work with many international clients in Berlin. Our team speaks English, German, and Polish, ensuring that there are no misunderstandings and that your vision is perfectly understood.

 I am currently abroad. Can you manage the renovation in my absence?

Yes, many of our clients are not on-site during the renovation. We provide regular “project monitoring” updates. We can send you photos, videos, and progress reports via WhatsApp or email, so you always know exactly what is happening in your apartment, no matter where you are.

Do you handle waste disposal and cleaning?

Yes. A clean site is a safe site. We handle the disposal of construction debris and old materials in an environmentally friendly manner. Once the work is done, we perform a thorough final cleaning so your space is ready for you to move in.
