What an Apartment Renovation With Primo Covers
An apartment renovation can mean anything from refreshing finishes in a single room to reworking a kitchen, bathroom and flooring together. Primo scopes the work at a site visit, then quotes against what is actually there rather than a standard package.
Rooms
Kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas, balconies and storage — individually or as a whole apartment.
Trades
Tiling, joinery, painting, waterproofing, electrical and plumbing work, coordinated under one point of contact.
Basis of quotation
Confirmed after inspection. Condition, access and the finish level you choose all change the scope.
What Primo Can Renovate in an Apartment
Each area below is a service Primo delivers directly. Where a dedicated page exists, it is linked so you can see the detail before enquiring.
Kitchens
Cabinetry, worktops, splashbacks, tiling and appliance provisions. See kitchen renovation.
Bathrooms
Sanitaryware, tiling, waterproofing layers and fittings. See bathroom renovation.
Flooring
Replacement or restoration, including marble, wood and microcement finishes.
Ceilings and partitions
Gypsum ceilings, bulkheads, cornices, partitions and the making-good that follows service alterations.
Painting and finishes
Surface preparation, filling, priming and finish coats. See painting services.
Waterproofing
Wet areas and balconies where the existing membrane has failed. See waterproofing.
Electrical work
Lighting, sockets, circuits and fixture changes carried out as part of the renovation. See electrical and handyman services.
Plumbing work
Supply and waste alterations serving kitchen and bathroom changes, and fixture installation.
Carpentry and joinery
Built-in wardrobes, shelving, doors and bespoke items made to the dimensions of the apartment.
Full Renovation, Refurbishment or a Single Room?
These three words are often used interchangeably and they describe very different pieces of work. Use this to place your project before asking for a quotation.
Where a Site Visit Matters Most
Straightforward to scope from photographs
- Repainting and finish renewal across existing surfaces
- Replacing flooring where the layout is unchanged
- Fitting or replacing joinery in an existing recess
- Renewing sanitaryware or kitchen fittings in place
Needs to be seen before it can be quoted
- Any change that moves walls, sockets, drainage or supply routes
- Damp, staining, movement or damage of unknown cause
- Work in an occupied apartment, where sequencing and protection change the method
- Buildings with restricted access hours or goods-lift arrangements
Primo confirms access and building requirements during the site visit. What each building permits varies, and it is established for your specific address rather than assumed.
How an Apartment Renovation Runs
Enquiry
Send the rooms involved, approximate size, your area in Dubai and photographs of each space.
Site visit
Measurements taken, condition assessed, access and building requirements confirmed.
Written scope and quotation
What is included, what is excluded and the finish level assumed, itemised so it can be compared.
Scheduling
Trades sequenced in the order the work requires, with dates agreed before anything starts.
Execution
Protection of retained surfaces, then the works, coordinated under one point of contact.
Completion walkthrough
The finished work is inspected with you and any snagging is agreed before handover.
What Affects Your Quotation
Apartment renovation is quoted after inspection because the same room can carry very different scopes. These are the factors assessed at the site visit.
Rooms and total area
How many rooms are included, and the measured area of each.
Level of finish
Material and fitting selections change cost more than floor area does.
Whether services move
Relocating electrical or plumbing routes adds work that surface renewal does not.
Condition found
What is behind the existing finishes is only confirmed once inspected.
Access and working hours
Restricted access or limited working hours changes how the work is sequenced.
Occupied or empty
Working around furniture and residents requires additional protection and staging.
Primo does not publish fixed apartment renovation prices, because a quotation given without seeing the apartment would not be reliable.
What to Send With Your Enquiry
The more of this you can send up front, the more useful the first conversation will be.
- Which rooms you are considering
- Approximate size of the apartment or the rooms involved
- Photographs of each area, including any problem spots
- Whether you want the layout changed or kept as it is
- Your area in Dubai and the building name
- Whether the apartment is occupied and any timing you need to work around
Why Choose Primo for an Apartment Renovation
Primo has operated as a maintenance and fit-out contractor in Dubai since 2012, across both residential and commercial property.
One contractor across the trades
Tiling, joinery, painting, waterproofing, electrical and plumbing all sit within Primo’s own service range, so the coordination between them is contracted to one company rather than left to you.
Scoped before it is priced
Quotations follow a site visit rather than a phone estimate, so the figure you receive reflects the apartment as it actually is.
- Operating since 2012
- Residential and commercial
- Single point of contact
- Written scope before works begin
Ongoing upkeep after a renovation can be arranged separately — see annual maintenance contracts. Other fit-out and renovation services are listed on the fit-outs and renovations hub.
Apartment Renovation Questions
Can Primo renovate just one room?
Yes. Single-room work is common, particularly kitchens and bathrooms. The scope is set by what that room needs rather than by a minimum package.
Does Primo handle electrical and plumbing work as part of a renovation?
Yes. Electrical, plumbing and carpentry are services Primo offers, so they can be included in the renovation scope and sequenced with the rest of the work under one point of contact.
Will I need to move out during the renovation?
That depends on the rooms involved and whether services are being altered. It is confirmed at the site visit, because working around residents changes both the method and the sequence.
Do you provide a written quotation?
Yes. A written scope and quotation follow the site visit, setting out what is included, what is excluded and the finish level assumed.
Can existing finishes be matched rather than replaced?
Sometimes. Matching depends on the material, its age and whether the original range is still available. Where an exact match cannot be sourced, the alternatives are shown before anything is ordered.
How do I get an apartment renovation quotation?
Send photographs, the rooms involved, approximate size and your area in Dubai on WhatsApp. A site visit is arranged before the quotation is issued.
