Apartment renovation has become a true art. Modern renovation services range from cosmetic touch-ups to full-scale overhauls with complete space reconstruction. In private practice I often notice: smart apartment planning determines 80% of a project’s success — like a solid score for a symphony.
House renovation requires a systematic approach. A quality estimate is the roadmap to success.
Finishing works are like a layered cake — every stage matters. Turnkey renovation is the optimal solution for those who value time. The contractor handles everything: from the apartment design project to final handover with punch-list fixes.
According to construction-market studies, proper planning shortens renovation timelines by 25–40% and improves overall quality.
Types of renovations: choosing the best option for your home
Which renovation should you choose? The type depends on the condition of the property and the owner’s goals. Here are the main transformation options professional crews deliver:
- Cosmetic apartment renovation — wallpapering, wall painting, and flooring replacement without touching utilities
- Partial apartment renovation — updating specific rooms with new plumbing fixtures and electrical points
- Major (capital) house renovation — comprehensive reconstruction with utility replacement, re-planning, and structural upgrades
- Euro-renovation — premium finishes using high-quality materials and advanced technologies
Each type has its specifics. It requires an individual planning approach.
Cosmetic renovation is a budget-friendly way to refresh interiors quickly. It’s especially relevant for new builds where basic finishing has been done by the developer. Such surface-level work avoids utility systems and structural elements, saving both time and budget.
On one project last year, the owner planned a cosmetic refresh. Hidden wall defects were discovered, and we had to switch to a full capital renovation with complete utility replacement and re-planning.
Experts recommend: properties up to 5 years old usually need only cosmetic work; those older than 15 years typically require major intervention with utility replacement.
Materials and modern finishing technologies
Building materials are the painter’s palette for a finishing specialist. The selection determines both appearance and durability. Key material categories for a successful project include time-tested and innovative solutions:
- Building materials — drywall, cement mixes, primers for prep stages
- Finishing materials — wallpapers, paints, floor coverings, ceramic tiles
- Utilities — pipes, electrical cables, plumbing fixtures
- Interior design elements — decorative panels, moldings, light fixtures
Choosing the right materials ensures long-term results. Compliance with quality standards is essential.
Interior design must balance function and aesthetics. The apartment layout should reflect family needs and usage patterns. Construction proceeds in stages: first utilities, then structural work, and only after that the final finishes.
In a recent project, the client insisted on exotic materials from Italy. Delivery took three months, pushing the schedule. Lesson learned: plan deliveries early or pick readily available alternatives.
