Complete apartment renovations in Barcelona with our own team since 2003

 

A complete apartment renovation in Barcelona is probably one of the most important investments you will make in your home.

It is not just about changing floors, painting walls, or remodeling the kitchen. It also involves upgrading installations, coordinating different trades, complying with current regulations, and planning each phase of the project to avoid unexpected surprises. These decisions will impact the comfort, energy efficiency, and value of your home for many years to come. Since 2003, we have been renovating apartments in Barcelona so that our clients can approach the renovation with the peace of mind that comes from knowing their home is in the hands of an experienced team. We work with our own in-house staff, plan every phase before starting the work, and deliver clear, detailed quotes with no ambiguous items.

Throughout these years, we have carried out apartment renovations in all neighborhoods of Barcelona, from the stately buildings of the Eixample to apartments in Gràcia, family homes in Sant Andreu, penthouses in Les Corts, or seaside apartments in Poblenou. Each building presents different challenges.

This experience allows us to detect potential problems even before starting the work, proposing solutions before they can affect the progress of the renovation.

A complete renovation should not be chosen solely based on the price of the quote. It should also be chosen based on the confidence inspired by the company that will execute it. That has been our way of working since day one.

 

Why do so many property owners trust A. Barcelona Reformas?

We do not believe that trust should be built on commercial promises. We prefer that every client can see our way of working for themselves through real facts.

In-house staff

Experience across Barcelona

We understand the constructive particularities of each area and the usual demands of its buildings. We have carried out apartment renovations in all ten districts of Barcelona, from century-old buildings in Eixample to modern homes in Poblenou, Diagonal Mar, or Les Corts.

📅

Over two decades renovating homes

Each renovation has allowed us to improve our way of working. This accumulated experience translates today into more precise planning, fewer unexpected issues, and a better result for our clients.

I will personally manage your renovation

I personally carry out the first visit, prepare the quote, plan the tasks, and coordinate daily the professionals involved in each renovation.

When you accept our quote, you know from day one who will be responsible for your project. You will not have to speak with different sales representatives, foremen who change during the renovation, or intermediaries. You will always deal with the same person.

After more than twenty years renovating homes in Barcelona, I remain convinced that this way of working offers a great advantage: you will always know who to talk to and who assumes responsibility for each decision throughout the entire project.

When we finish your apartment renovation, something very simple will have happened: the same person who first entered your home to prepare the estimate will also be the one who personally hands over the finished project to you.

“I don’t sell renovations. I manage them personally from start to finish. That’s why, when a client needs to speak with the person in charge of their project, they always speak with me.”

 

Why choose a renovation company with its own team?

Numerous professionals are involved in a complete renovation. The difference between a well-coordinated project and one full of delays usually depends on who actually performs the work and who takes responsibility for coordinating them.

👷

Same team throughout the project

Our professionals are part of the same work team. This facilitates daily coordination and avoids constant changes of workers during the renovation.

📅

Greater control over deadlines

By not relying on long chains of subcontracting, we can organize each phase of the renovation with greater precision and reduce unnecessary delays.

A single person in charge

From the first visit to the final handover, you will always have the same point of contact. You will know who is managing the project and who answers personally for every decision.

We believe that this way of working offers greater control over the quality of the finishes, the organization of the project, and customer care throughout the entire renovation process.

How much does it cost to renovate an apartment in Barcelona?

The price of a complete renovation depends on many factors: the condition of the property, the layout, the installations, the selected materials, and the scope of work. That is why we do not believe in estimated prices per square meter. We prefer to show actual budgets from renovations carried out by our team so you can verify exactly what work was performed and what the final budget was.

Apartment in Sagrada Familia

57m² Apartment in La Sagrada Familia

Challenge: Completely redistribute the home by eliminating corridors to create an open day area without losing storage capacity.

Solution: We executed a new layout, installed Quick-Step AC5 laminate flooring, recessed LED lighting, and light-toned finishes to increase the sense of spaciousness and improve natural light.

Apartment in Horta-Guinardó

78m² Apartment in Horta-Guinardó

Challenge: Integrate a ducted air conditioning system without excessively reducing ceiling height and replace all exterior carpentry with aluminum windows featuring thermal break (RPT).

Solution: We designed a duct layout that minimized the loss of clear height and installed aluminum carpentry with low-emissivity glass to improve the thermal and acoustic insulation of the home.

Property in Aribau Street

84m² Property in Aribau Street

Challenge: Integrate HVAC into a majestic historic building (“finca regia”) with structural limitations, preserving the original hydraulic tile floors and respecting the architectural elements of the home.

Solution: We executed the necessary structural reinforcements to integrate the new climate control system without altering the home’s layout and handcrafted the restoration of the original hydraulic floors to recover their appearance and preserve the building’s character.

 

 

 

Find apartment renovations in your neighborhood

Each building has its own unique characteristics. Renovating a majestic historic building in Eixample is not the same as a 1970s apartment in Horta-Guinardó or a modern home in Diagonal Mar. That is why we have grouped some of our projects by area, so you can see real examples of renovations similar to yours.

 

After more than two decades renovating apartments in Barcelona, we have proven that most renovation problems do not appear during the work, but long before starting.

Unclear estimates, old installations that are not inspected, insufficient planning, or a lack of coordination between the different trades are usually the source of delays, budget overruns, and a large part of the issues that arise during a renovation.

That is why we dedicate so much time to studying each home, planning each phase, and defining all tasks before beginning. A renovation that is well-organized from the start usually turns into a much more peaceful experience for the property owner.

 

Frequently asked questions about complete apartment renovations in Barcelona

 

How much does it cost to renovate an apartment in Barcelona?
There is no single price for a complete renovation. It depends on the square meters, the condition of the home, the existing installations, the selected materials, and the complexity of the work. That is why we prefer to prepare a customized estimate and show real examples of renovations carried out by our team.
What does your complete renovation estimate include?
Our estimates are detailed and broken down by items. They include the technical visit, project planning, masonry work, electricity, plumbing, carpentry, painting, finishes, and final cleaning. Before starting, you will know exactly what work will be performed and what materials will be installed.
Do you work with your own team or do you subcontract?
We work with our own in-house staff across the main trades involved in the renovation. This allows us to control the quality of the work, better coordinate deadlines, and provide a single responsible contact person throughout the entire project.
How long does a complete renovation take?
The timeframe depends on the size of the home and the complexity of the renovation. As a baseline, an apartment between 70 and 80 m² typically requires between 8 and 12 weeks. For larger homes or those involving significant layout modifications, the timeframe may be longer.
Can I live in the apartment during the renovation?
It is not recommended. During a complete renovation, utilities such as water or electricity are interrupted, and dust, noise, and continuous movement of materials are generated. Whenever possible, we advise having temporary accommodation until the completion of the project.
Who handles building licenses and permits?
We take care of managing the necessary documentation when the renovation requires a license or building notification. We advise you on the necessary procedures so that the renovation complies with current regulations in Barcelona.
How much value can an apartment gain after a complete renovation?
A well-executed complete renovation can significantly increase a home’s value, especially when it improves the layout, installations, energy efficiency, and finishes. In addition to increasing its market value, it improves comfort and reduces future maintenance expenses.
