About service

Cosmetic renovation is the fastest way to refresh a property in Barcelona without major structural work. We update walls, ceilings, floors and lighting in a defined scope and timeline β€” useful for rentals, resales and owners who want a clean interior without a full gut renovation.

The key to a successful cosmetic renovation is honest condition assessment before pricing. Surface defects, moisture patches and delaminating plaster need to be addressed before painting. We document everything at the site visit so the estimate covers what you will actually pay.

How we work

  1. Site visit β€” We inspect all surfaces, check for moisture, identify patching needs and assess floor condition. Photos and notes go into the estimate document.
  2. Scope and estimate β€” Itemised by room and finish type. You see cost per surface, not a single round number.
  3. Material selection β€” We propose paint colours, floor options and ceiling treatments within your budget. Standard turnaround is 3–5 working days from approval.
  4. Works β€” Surface prep and repairs first, then primer, then finish coats. Floors and ceilings are done in the correct sequence to avoid contamination between trades.
  5. Cleanup and handover β€” All masking removed, floors cleaned, touch-ups done. You receive a handover note with material references for future maintenance.

FAQ

How long does cosmetic renovation take?

Usually 5 to 20 working days depending on scope.

Can we stay in the apartment during works?

Often yes, if stages and work zones are agreed in advance.

Do you help with material choices?

Yes, we propose options by budget and timeline.

What surfaces does cosmetic renovation cover?

Walls (painting, wallpaper), ceilings (painting, cornice, plasterboard), floors (laminate, vinyl, parquet restoration) and lighting replacement. We do not do structural or wet works in a cosmetic scope.

Do you renovate single rooms?

Yes. A single bedroom, living room or corridor is a standard job. We can also do a full apartment cosmetic refresh in one mobilisation.

Can you match existing paint colours?

Often yes, using spectrophotometer matching at paint suppliers. Bring a chip or we photograph the wall for colour reference.

Is cosmetic renovation suitable for rental property?

Yes β€” it is the standard approach for rental preparation in Barcelona. Neutral tones, durable floor finishes and updated lighting significantly improve rental appeal and listing photos.
