Full renovations in Barcelona
We renovate flats, houses and penthouses from top to bottom — from layout and building services to the kitchen, bathrooms and finishes.
Reformayahorra has been carrying out full renovations in Barcelona since 1995. Every project starts with a technical visit to review the home, define the scope of the works and prepare an itemised quote. We coordinate the trades, whichever permits apply, the execution of the works and the final review.
What a full renovation includes
A full renovation brings together, in a single project, all the works needed to renew a complete home. The scope is defined after studying the initial condition of the property and the owner’s needs.
It can include:
- redistribution and demolition;
- masonry and partition walls;
- electrics and plumbing;
- air conditioning and ventilation;
- kitchen renovation;
- renovation of one or more bathrooms;
- flooring and wall coverings;
- interior and exterior joinery;
- painting and lighting;
- made-to-measure furniture;
- finishes and final cleaning;
- planning, trade coordination and site supervision.
Not every home needs the same items. That is why the quote is defined after reviewing building services, layout, state of repair, materials and level of finish.
Full renovations of flats, houses and penthouses
The type of property shapes how a full renovation is planned.
Full flat renovations
In a flat, the priorities may be redistribution, renewing old building services, the kitchen, the bathrooms, acoustic insulation, flooring and the relationship with the building’s communal areas.
Full flat renovations →Full house renovations
A house may also involve work on insulation, air conditioning, exterior joinery, energy efficiency and the layout across different floors or areas.
Full house renovations →Full penthouse renovations
In penthouses we pay particular attention to natural light, thermal comfort, insulation, exterior joinery, the terrace, interior layout, kitchen and bathrooms.

The price of a full renovation depends mainly on the floor area, the initial condition of the home, layout changes, the existing building services, the kitchen, the number of bathrooms, the materials and the finishes chosen.
Technical requirements and the permits the works call for also have an influence.
That is why a price per square metre is no substitute for assessing the property. Reformayahorra carries out a technical visit and then prepares an itemised quote setting out what is included before the works begin.
Phases of a full renovation
A complete renovation is organised in phases so that decisions, trades and materials are properly coordinated.
- Initial enquiry and review of the project.
- Technical visit to the home.
- Definition of scope and requirements.
- Preparation of the itemised quote.
- Selection and coordination of materials.
- Review of permits and documentation.
- Demolition and preparatory works.
- Layout, masonry and building services.
- Kitchen and bathrooms.
- Flooring, joinery, painting and lighting.
- Review of finishes and handover.
The order can vary depending on the specific characteristics of each home.
Permits for a full renovation
Permits depend on the works planned.
Renewing finishes does not carry the same administrative requirements as works involving changes to layout, building services, façade, structure or communal elements.
Before starting we review the technical scope to determine what documentation must be allowed for in the planning.
Requirements can also vary from one municipality to another. To see the towns where Reformayahorra works, see renovations in the Barcelona metropolitan area.
Kitchen and bathrooms within a full renovation
The kitchen and bathrooms account for a large share of the building services and decisions in a complete renovation.
Kitchen
The work may include redistribution, units, worktop, electrics, plumbing, lighting, extraction, wall coverings and a connection to the living or dining room.
See kitchen renovations →Bathrooms
It may include renewed plumbing, shower, sanitaryware, wall coverings, screen, ventilation, lighting and furniture.
See bathroom renovations →Building services, materials and finishes
A full renovation is the moment to review elements that are hard to change once the home is finished.
Electrics, plumbing, air conditioning and ventilation must be planned before walls, ceilings and floors are closed up.
The finishes —flooring, wall coverings, joinery, painting, lighting, sanitaryware, taps or furniture— are chosen later according to use, maintenance, appearance and the project budget.
