Apartment renovation "turnkey" - what exactly does the service include and is it really worth it?

19 December 2025

Renovating an apartment is for many people one of the most stressful experiences. Coordinating teams, keeping track of deadlines, ordering materials, making corrections, delays... It's no wonder that more and more clients are opting for turnkey apartment renovations. But what does this term really mean and is this solution actually worth it?

What does "turnkey renovation" mean?

A turnkey renovation is a comprehensive service, where one company takes responsibility for the entire renovation process – from preparing the apartment to the moment you can move in your furniture and live normally.

The client does not have to:

  • search for several teams,

  • coordinate the work,

  • keep track of the schedule,

  • stress over technical details.

Everything is done according to an established plan and one scope of work.

What does a turnkey apartment renovation typically include?

The scope may vary depending on the apartment, but typically the service includes:

1. Preparatory and demolition work

  • dismantling old floors, tiles, fixtures,

  • removing plaster (if required),

  • preparing walls and floors for new finishes.

2. Installations

  • modernizing or replacing electrical installations,

  • plumbing work (bathroom, kitchen),

  • preparing points for lighting and appliances.

3. Walls and ceilings

  • plastering, repairs,

  • drywall constructions,

  • painting.

4. Floors

  • laminate, boards, tiles,

  • baseboards,

  • preparing the substrate.

5. Bathroom and kitchen

  • laying tiles,

  • installing ceramics and fixtures,

  • installing kitchen furniture (if included in the scope).

6. Finishing work

  • installing interior doors,

  • electrical fittings,

  • details, corrections, cleaning after renovation.

Final effect: apartment ready to move in – without running around wholesalers and without stress.

Turnkey renovation vs. self-organization – comparison

Self-coordination:

  • several teams = several deadlines,

  • risk of delays and conflicts,

  • lack of one responsible contractor,

  • apparent savings that often disappear with corrections.

Turnkey renovation:

  • one company, one schedule,

  • clearly defined scope of work,

  • greater quality control,

  • savings in time and nerves.

For many clients, the price difference is significantly smaller than the difference in comfort.

Is a turnkey renovation really worth it?

Yes – especially if:

  • you work and don't have time to supervise the renovation,

  • you are not familiar with technical details,

  • you want to avoid "surprises" during the work,

  • you care about timeliness and quality.

A good renovation company can plan the work to:

  • minimize downtime,

  • optimize costs,

  • avoid mistakes that later generate additional expenses.

In practice, many clients after a turnkey renovation say one thing: "If I were to do it again – I would choose the same."

What to pay attention to when choosing a company for a turnkey renovation?

Before making a decision, check:

  • the company's experience,

  • real projects (photos, reviews),

  • clear scope of work in the offer,

  • communication and approach to the client.

A turnkey renovation is not an "expensive luxury," but a reasonable solution for people who value peace, time, and quality.
