Home Renovation in Vienna
Verified pros · Vienna · Vienna metro
If you need home renovation in Vienna, the local context matters: Vienna's mix of Gründerzeit Altbau, post-war Gemeindebauten, and modern Neubau means every job has a different starting point — high ceilings and old risers in the inner districts, prefab stacks in the outer Bezirke. Manages full apartment refurbs: demolition, electrical, plumbing, dry-lining, painting, flooring, tiling, and bathroom + kitchen replacement on a single timeline. Hausordnung rules around noisy work (typically 8:00–20:00, no Sunday work) are strictly enforced by most Hausverwaltungen. Active jobs on milles most often come from Hietzing, Innere Stadt, Mariahilf, Donaustadt. Many Vienna residents are expats or international students, so several providers communicate in English alongside German. Here price is usually €/m² total, ranging from €350 (cosmetic refresh) to €1,500+ (gut renovation with new bathroom and kitchen). A signed Bauleistungsbeschreibung locks scope. Most providers travel by U-Bahn or van; tight one-way streets in the 1st through 9th districts often add 15–20 minutes for parking.
