Apartment renovation
A full renovation touches almost everything: plumbing, wiring, floors, kitchen, bathrooms and finishes. Describe what you want to change and get detailed quotes from companies licensed for construction work.
Typical jobs
- Full renovation of a 1, 2 or 3-bedroom apartment
- Replacing old plumbing and wiring
- Opening or closing non-structural walls
- Restoring floorboards and ceilings in older buildings
- A new kitchen and bathrooms in one project
What affects the price
- Floor area and number of rooms
- The state of the existing plumbing and wiring
- The range of materials and finishes you choose
- Access to the building (lift, parking, rubble removal)
- Whether plans or a licence are needed
We don't publish price ranges until we have enough real quotes from our own platform to make them reliable.
Before you hire
- Check the company holds an IMPIC certificate or licence (alvará) that covers the value of the works. You can look it up on the IMPIC website.
- Ask for a written quote with labour and materials listed separately, and the expected timeline.
- Check their civil liability insurance and workers' accident insurance.
- Tell your building's condominium administration before work starts. Works in shared areas need approval.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need council permission to renovate inside?
Interior works that don't touch the structure, façade or roof are usually exempt from municipal licensing. Listed buildings and protected areas have their own rules. If in doubt, check with the Câmara Municipal before you start.
When can renovation work happen in a residential building?
Portugal's General Noise Regulation (Regulamento Geral do Ruído) only allows works inside residential buildings on working days between 8am and 8pm, with a notice posted showing how long they will last. Check your condominium's rules too.
How do payments work on a renovation?
Renovations are paid in stages. Each stage is held until you approve it, and a small part is held for a while after handover. The percentages are shown in the contract before you sign.
