Exterior Renovations in Craiova

About this service

Exterior renovations encompass all work that improves the appearance, durability, and energy efficiency of a home from the outside — from thermal insulation and facade painting, to roof repair or replacement, terrace and yard landscaping, building or renovating fences and exterior walls, and installing PVC or aluminum windows and doors. A well-executed exterior renovation protects the property from the elements, reduces heat loss, and significantly increases property value. In Romania, the optimal season for exterior work is spring and summer, when temperatures allow materials to cure correctly. Whether your home needs a new look through thermal insulation and painting, or the roof requires urgent repairs, specialists found on SmallJobs can assess and execute the work professionally.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does facade renovation cost in Craiova?

Facade renovation pricing depends on surface area, current condition, and finish type. Polystyrene or mineral wool thermal insulation plus painting costs between 55 and 180 RON per square meter in Craiova. A house with 150 sqm of facade can total between 12,000 and 30,000 RON.

What's better: thermal insulation or just painting the facade?

Facade thermal insulation (with polystyrene or mineral wool) reduces energy bills by 20–40% and better protects the building. Although the initial investment is higher, it pays off in 5–10 years. If the facade is structurally sound and only aesthetics are the issue, simple rendering and painting is sufficient.

What types of roofs can be repaired or replaced?

Specialists can work with any roof type: galvanized or painted steel sheet, wood shingles, ceramic or concrete tiles, corrugated sheets, bituminous membranes for flat roofs. Choose a specialist with experience in your specific roof type.

How much does roof repair cost?

Spot roof repairs (replacing broken tiles, reconditioning gutters, applying membrane to a section) cost between 30–120 RON per square meter. Full roof replacement is more costly and requires a detailed quote after inspection.

Do I need a building permit for facade renovation?

Generally, painting or plastering a facade doesn't require a permit. Thermal insulation may require notification to local authorities in special zones (historic centers, protected areas). Check with the local council before starting work.

What's the best time for exterior work?

The optimal season is spring (March–May) and summer (June–September), when temperatures are positive and there's no frost risk. Paints and sealants need temperatures of at least 5–10°C to cure properly.
