Straight answers to the questions that actually come up before a renovation — no marketing, just substance.
Before a wall gets a new coat of paint or a new surface, the same questions tend to come up: what should you prepare yourself, and what does the contractor take care of? Is a coat of paint enough, or does the wall need plastering? And how do you read a quote so nothing surprising turns up at the end. These guides answer exactly that, in the order the questions come up on a real project.
None of this replaces an on-site visit, but it gives you a solid basis to judge an offer, assess your own space realistically, and talk to us — or to any contractor — on equal footing. Renovation Zurich is based in Zurich and available for projects across Switzerland.
