How does a project run in the big 1960s-70s estates of cité Meyrin?

In these blocks the partitions are often plaster or lightweight board. The walls have already taken several coats over successive tenancies. We start by checking how well the existing paint holds. Wherever it chalks or blisters, we sand and rework the base before any fresh coat goes on. That upstream work is what stops flaking and makes the finish last.

A flat in the estate comes free between two international contracts. How do you handle the repaint?

Turnaround moves fast in Meyrin, the summer most of all. We go room by room. First the fixing holes get filled and the furniture marks treated, then we redo the ceilings. The floors are sheeted and the thresholds protected. The paints we use are low in VOCs, which keeps odours down before the next tenant arrives. The flat goes back clean, ready for a check-out inventory. You get the detailed quote before we begin.

Do you work on the common areas and stairwells of condominiums (PPE)?

It's a steady part of our work in Meyrin, where many estates are condominiums or run by a property manager. We plan access to the shared stairwells with the PPE administrator. Working hours are set to cause the least possible disruption in heavily occupied buildings. A detailed quote comes before any work starts.

What do you do after water damage in a flat from the 1960s-70s?

Nothing gets touched until the surface is completely dry. Once drying is confirmed, we treat the stains and the watermarks. If a mark risks coming back, we lay a stain-blocking primer, then repaint so the patch disappears into the wall. All coordination with the property manager or the insurer is done in writing. The work is covered by the two-year legal warranty (Art. 371 CO).

Representative architecture of the Meyrin district in Geneva — Renovhome SA works there regularly. — Meyrin — architecture representative of the district

Meyrin is one of the larger municipalities on Geneva's right bank. Its urban fabric still bears the mark of the big 1960s-70s estates of the cité, extended by Meyrin-Village and by newer building near the industrial zones. On top of that sits a very international population. CERN, the airport and the region's multinationals draw a workforce that comes and goes. The result is plain enough. Flats change hands often, and the paintwork follows that rhythm.

Meyrin, a municipality on the move

Meyrin is one of the larger municipalities on the right bank. Its urban character comes mainly from the big 1960s-70s estates of the cité, rounded out by Meyrin-Village and by newer building towards Mategnin and the ZIMEYSA. Around CERN, the airport and the region’s multinationals moves a very international population. For paintwork the consequence is direct. A lot of flats change hands, sometimes in the middle of summer, and you have to be ready.

The Meyrin building stock

Cité Meyrin: large modernist estates, collective housing held in condominium.
Meyrin-Village: older fabric, houses and small apartment blocks.
Recent residential areas (Mategnin, near Cointrin): construction from the 2000s to the 2020s.
Staff housing for CERN and the international agencies.

What we do across the municipality

Between-tenancy repaints in the estate blocks, in heavy demand from June to September as international contracts roll over.
Reworking the ceilings and partitions of the 1960s-70s estates: fixing holes, furniture marks, hairline cracks.
Touch-ups after water damage in the older stock, coordinated in writing with the property manager or the insurer.
Refreshing flats lived in for years by their owners.
Enamel on woodwork and in wet rooms within the condominiums.

The re-letting calendar

Meyrin has two busy spells on the rental side. The first runs from June to September, driven by the start of the school year and by CERN moves. The second falls in January and February, with the new winter contracts. We fit the job to your window. Visit first, then the quote, then the work once the flat comes free.

Who we work for

Property managers running the estate blocks of the cité.
Landlords who let to an international clientele, with high turnover.
Private owners living in their own home.
Expatriate tenants who need a repaint before leaving.

On the common areas and stairwells, one contact follows your file and handles the coordination with the PPE administrator.
