Full Apartment Renovation in Gruiu

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

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 Gruiu?

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.

Can I live in the flat during the renovation?

No, not for a full renovation. The home is left for long periods without water, power, or flooring, and dust from demolition and sanding makes the space practically uninhabitable. Budget for alternative accommodation for the whole duration, with a 2–3 week margin over the promised completion date.

Do I need a permit to renovate in Gruiu?

No permit is needed for interior finishes and services. It becomes mandatory if you alter the structure — removing a load-bearing wall, changing openings in structural walls, or extending the floor area. In Gruiu, as everywhere, the owners' association usually requires advance notice and observance of quiet hours.
