Can I stay in the apartment during the renovation?

For a full renovation we usually recommend moving out, because water, kitchen, and bathroom facilities are offline for part of the project. For smaller phased work it can be possible to stay — we'll advise based on your scope.

Apartment Renovation

Apartment renovation is the end-to-end interior renewal of a flat — combining demolition, walls, flooring, painting, kitchen, and bathroom work into a single managed project, typically completed in 2 to 4 weeks.

Typical duration: 2–4 weeks

An apartment renovation with Valterra is a single, fully coordinated project rather than a series of disconnected trades. We take a Dutch flat from strip-out to finished home — demolition, new partition walls, levelled floors, fresh paint, a new kitchen, and a renovated bathroom — managed end to end by one team under one fixed-scope quote.

How a full apartment renovation works

Work runs in clear phases: demolition and preparation first, then any new walls and ceilings, followed by flooring, kitchen and bathroom installation, and finally painting and finishing. Sequencing the trades correctly is what keeps a renovation on schedule — each phase hands off cleanly to the next, with daily progress updates. Most apartments are completed in two to four weeks depending on size and scope.

What's included and what needs a partner

Valterra directly delivers all non-structural interior work. Scopes that require certified Dutch trade licences — load-bearing structural changes, gas installations, full rewiring, and fuse-box (meterkast) replacement — are coordinated through our certified partner network and folded into one combined quote, so you sign one contract and deal with one project manager.
