Full Apartment Renovation in Șcheia

About this service

In a full renovation, the greatest risk isn't the quality of any single trade but the coordination between them. The decorator can't start before the electrician has finished the routes, flooring can't be laid before the screed is fully dry — which takes roughly a week per centimetre of thickness — and doors are fitted after decorating but before skirting. Every deviation from this order is paid for in redone work and delays. A serious team presents a staged programme from the outset, with the decision points where your finishes must already be chosen, and tells you clearly when to order long lead-time materials such as windows, internal doors, or kitchen units.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it worth renewing services that seem to work?

In a full renovation, yes. Aluminium wiring without earth and corroded steel pipework are standard in blocks over 30 years old. The cost of renewing them now is a fraction of doing so later, which would mean breaking into finishes you've just installed.

Which materials should be ordered earliest?

External windows, made-to-order internal doors, kitchen units, and limited-stock flooring have lead times of 3–8 weeks. Order them immediately after the programme is agreed, otherwise they become the factor delaying the entire job, regardless of the team's pace.

What warranty do I get on a full renovation?

Labour is usually warranted for 2–5 years, and some firms offer longer on concealed services. Request the warranty in writing, the handover record with any observations and, most importantly, photographs of all service routes before they were covered.

How much does a full apartment renovation cost in Șcheia?

Labour for a turnkey renovation typically falls between 270 and 900 RON per square metre, depending on area and the level of finishes. For a 55 sqm two-room flat, that means 15,000–50,000 RON in labour. Materials and finishes typically add another 40–70% on top of the labour figure.

How long does a full renovation take?

A studio needs 4–7 weeks, a two-room flat 6–10 weeks, and a three- or four-room flat 10–16 weeks. These timescales include mandatory drying times that cannot be compressed: screed needs roughly a week of drying per centimetre of thickness.

What is the correct order of works?

Strip-out and removal, new partitions, electrical and plumbing services, pressure testing, plastering and skimming, waterproofing in wet areas, screed, tiling, internal joinery, decorating, flooring, electrical accessories and sanitaryware, skirting, and finally furniture. Reversing stages leads to costly rework.
