Frequently Asked Questions About Renovations in Mallorca

De Rosa Mallorca undertakes everything from smaller renovation projects to partial and complete renovations of houses, apartments and fincas throughout Mallorca.

Our services include bathroom renovations, kitchens, tiling and flooring, painting, electrical and plumbing work, air conditioning, underfloor heating, windows and doors, as well as general remodelling and interior renovation work.

For larger projects, we can manage the entire renovation and coordinate all the different trades involved.

Yes. Complete property renovations and refurbishments are one of our core services.

We can coordinate the entire project, from the initial planning and individual construction stages through to completion. This means you do not have to organise numerous contractors yourself – you have one central point of contact throughout your renovation.

Yes. For complete renovations, we can take responsibility for project management and coordinate all the different trades involved.

We organise the individual stages of work, coordinate our specialist partners and monitor the progress on site. Instead of dealing with multiple contractors and suppliers yourself, you communicate directly with us as your main point of contact.

Yes. We regularly work with international property owners who do not live permanently in Mallorca or who cannot be on the island throughout the renovation.

We manage the project locally and keep you regularly informed about progress. Meetings can take place by phone or video call, and we can also show you the current progress directly from the property by video.

This allows you to remain involved in important decisions without having to be physically present throughout the project.

We speak English, German, Spanish and Italian.

Clear communication is particularly important during a renovation, where numerous technical, practical and design decisions have to be made. International clients can therefore manage their entire renovation project with us in English or German if they prefer.

We have more than 20 years of experience in construction and renovation and undertake everything from individual renovation works to complete property refurbishments.

For larger projects, one of our key advantages is centralised project management. We coordinate the different trades and act as your main contact on the island. Our established network of specialist contractors and our architect also enables us to manage more complex renovation projects.

Yes. We work with an established architect who can become involved whenever a renovation or remodelling project requires architectural planning, technical documentation, permits or communication with the relevant authorities.

This means these aspects can be integrated directly into the overall renovation process.

Yes. If permits, technical documentation or official approvals are required for the planned works, our architect can manage the relevant procedures and communication.

The exact requirements depend on the property and the type of work being carried out, so this is assessed individually for each project.

There is no standard timeframe, as every renovation is different. The duration depends on factors such as the size and condition of the property, the scope of work, the number of trades involved and whether permits or approvals are required.

Once we have assessed the property and discussed the planned works, we can provide a much more realistic estimate and agree on a project schedule with you.

Renovation costs vary considerably depending on the project. Renovating a bathroom, partially renovating an apartment and completely refurbishing a finca are very different projects.

Costs depend on the size and condition of the property, the scope of work, technical installations, materials and the desired finish. We therefore assess your requirements first and prepare an individual quotation based on your project.

We start by discussing your property, your requirements and the scope of the planned renovation. Following an on-site assessment, we define the necessary work and desired finish.

For larger projects, we then coordinate the individual trades, our architect and specialist partners. During the construction phase, we monitor progress and remain your main point of contact through to completion.

For larger renovation projects, an initial deposit is normally followed by staged payments according to the progress of the works.

The exact payment schedule is agreed transparently before the project begins and is adapted to the scope and structure of the individual renovation.

Yes. In addition to complete property refurbishments, we undertake smaller and medium-sized renovation and modernisation projects.

Not every property requires a complete renovation. You may simply want to update a bathroom, renovate individual rooms, replace flooring or refresh walls and other areas of your home.

With older buildings in particular, it is important to assess the existing structure and technical installations carefully before work begins and to plan the individual stages accordingly.

Depending on the project, this can include demolition, plumbing and electrical work, waterproofing, tiling, flooring, painting and installation of the new bathroom fixtures and fittings.

All associated preparation work – such as electrical, plumbing, flooring, tiling and painting – can be incorporated into the overall renovation schedule and coordinated by us.

Yes. Electrical and plumbing work can be carried out by the relevant specialists and coordinated by us as part of your renovation.

Particularly in older properties, it is advisable to assess the condition of existing wiring and pipework when undertaking a major refurbishment and determine whether any systems should be replaced.

Yes. We work with specialist partners for both air-conditioning systems and underfloor heating.

These installations can be incorporated into the complete renovation schedule, allowing flooring, electrical work, heating and cooling systems and subsequent finishing work to be coordinated efficiently.

Yes. New windows and doors can also be incorporated into a renovation project. We work with specialist partners and coordinate their work with the other stages of the renovation.

Yes. Painting and the preparation and finishing of walls and ceilings are part of our renovation services.

These services can be carried out independently or incorporated into a larger renovation or complete property refurbishment.

Yes. We can advise you on suitable materials and help with the selection of tiles, flooring, sanitary ware and other finishes.

This is particularly useful for clients who do not live permanently in Mallorca, as material decisions can be coordinated with the construction schedule in advance.

We undertake renovation and refurbishment projects throughout Mallorca – from Palma and the southwest to the centre, north and east of the island.

Whether you own an apartment in Palma, a villa in the southwest or a finca in the Mallorcan countryside, we can discuss the specific requirements of your project with you.

Yes. In addition to renovation work, we also offer property management and home-care services in Mallorca.

This is particularly useful for owners who do not live on the island all year round. Depending on your requirements, this can include property checks and the coordination of repairs, cleaning, garden maintenance and pool services.

Contact us and tell us briefly about your property and the renovation you are considering. We can then discuss your requirements and, where necessary, arrange an on-site visit.

From there, we can establish the scope of work, the trades required, an approximate timeframe and the next steps for your renovation in Mallorca.
