Question 1

How long does a full renovation of a 2-room apartment take?

Accepted Answer

A capital renovation of a typical 45–55 m² two-room apartment runs 8–12 weeks on the Novashop schedule. That includes demolition, utility replacement, drywall and puttying, flooring, wet-room finishing, and final clean. A cosmetic refresh on the same floor area fits in 3–5 weeks; a comprehensive remodel without riser replacement typically runs 5–7 weeks. The schedule is fixed in the contract by phase, and the client sees progress through a weekly photo report. Get in touch and we will share a phase-level timeline tailored to your apartment.

Question 2

What is the difference between cosmetic, comprehensive, and capital renovation?

Accepted Answer

A cosmetic renovation covers surface work — puttying, painting, wallpaper, floor finish — without touching utilities or structural elements. A comprehensive remodel adds door, fixture, and kitchen replacement, but leaves risers and load-bearing elements intact. A capital renovation is the deepest tier: water, heating and drainage risers, electrical wiring, and — where needed — windows, doors and waterproofing are all renewed. In panel buildings, capital work often extends to seam repair and insulation. Novashop Projekt delivers all three tiers — we quote once we know the scope and the building series. Get in touch to discuss which tier fits your property.

Question 3

Does Novashop require an advance payment?

Accepted Answer

No. Novashop Projekt does not require an advance payment to start a job. The first instalment is due after our mobilisation on site and the first acceptance act, and subsequent instalments are tied to milestone acceptance acts per the contract. This is a deliberate business choice: in the construction market, advance requests are a classic risk flag — they create client uncertainty and are associated with cases where contractors disappear after the payment. Our cash flow is structured so we can start work without the client bearing that risk. Get in touch for a milestone-based payment schedule.

Question 4

What warranty does Novashop provide on its work?

Accepted Answer

Every Novashop Projekt job carries a written warranty with the period and coverage fixed in the contract. The warranty covers the quality of executed works and does not contain hidden exclusions — if a defect stems from our work, we remediate it at our own cost within the warranty period. The warranty does not replace manufacturer warranties on materials (those run under the supplier’s own terms), cover damage caused by incorrect client use, or extend to force-majeure events. We issue a warranty act with every handover alongside the documentation pack and a service contact. Book a site visit and receive a quote with the specific warranty terms.
