Straight Answers Before You Start
We know renovating in another country can raise a lot of questions, especially around pricing, paperwork and communication.
Below are the questions we hear most often from homeowners and expats in Valencia, grouped by topic.
Pricing, Quotes
& Timelines
Do you offer a free quote?
Yes. Every project starts with a free, no-obligation on-site visit and measurement, followed by a written, fixed-price quote.
Are your quotes fixed, or can the price change?
Quotes are fixed and itemised once agreed. Any changes to scope are discussed and confirmed with you in writing before proceeding.
How much does a renovation cost in Valencia?
Prices vary by scope and materials, starting from around €145/m² for a basic refresh. See our full renovation price guide for detailed rates.
How long does a full apartment renovation take?
Most apartment renovations take 4–8 weeks depending on size and scope. We provide an estimated timeline with your quote.
Can I get an estimate from photos alone?
For simple jobs, yes — send photos and measurements on WhatsApp. Larger renovations need an on-site visit for an accurate fixed quote.
Do you require a deposit before starting?
Yes, a deposit confirms the schedule and materials, with the remaining balance staged across agreed project milestones.
Materials, Permits & Warranty
The details homeowners and expats ask about most once pricing and timelines are clear.

All work is covered by a written 2-year workmanship warranty.
How do you communicate with English-speaking clients and expats?
