Can an occupied apartment be repainted in the grand buildings of the Petit-Saconnex?

It is the most common situation here. Families and expats stay in the home during the work, and we are set up for that. Floors are sheeted and furniture is covered. We move room by room to leave you space. The paints are low in odour. Old plaster ceilings need their drying time respected between coats, and we build that into the site schedule.

Do you coordinate the painting of stairwells and common areas in PPE condominiums in the Petit-Saconnex?

That is a regular request. The condominiums from the 1960s to 1980s near the Nations often have their common areas refreshed. We line up access and resident movement with the property manager, the caretaker and the committee. The sequence is planned to disrupt circulation as little as possible. Floors protected. Washable finishes go in the high-traffic zones.

How do you prepare the old ceilings and cornices in the grand apartments?

The early-1900s buildings in the neighbourhood often have plaster, cornices and fine ceiling cracks. We open up the cracks and fill them. Then we level the surfaces and sand. The matt finish goes on next, and we check it under raking light to catch any defect. On woodwork and door surrounds, an enamel holds up better over time.

Do you work between two tenancies for landlords renting to expats?

It comes up often. The neighbourhood follows the rhythm of international postings, with peaks in June-September and in January-February. For property managers and landlords, we restore the home between two leases. Walls, ceilings and woodwork, in neutral tones ready to re-let. The quote is free and the call-out is offered across the whole canton.

Representative architecture of the Petit-Saconnex district in Geneva — Renovhome SA works there regularly. — Petit-Saconnex — architecture representative of the district

The Petit-Saconnex is part village, part international district. You meet long-settled Genevans and young families here. Plenty of expats too, working at the nearby organisations. The buildings reflect the same contrast. Grand early-20th-century blocks. Condominiums from the 1960s to 1980s near the place des Nations. Villas and small buildings towards Budé and the Ariana. Each surface has its own logic. An old plaster ceiling is not prepared like a recent partition wall.

A neighbourhood between village and Nations

The Petit-Saconnex stays residential and quiet, a short walk from the Nations district. Its population mixes. Long-settled Genevans, young families, and expats from the international organisations. The housing stock is fairly well kept. Rental jobs come round here often.

The buildings in the neighbourhood

Grand period buildings from the early 1900s, around the village and towards the Nations.
Condominiums from the 1960s to 1980s towards the place des Nations.
Villas and small buildings on the Budé and Ariana side.
Recent developments linked to the international organisations.

Each family of building calls for its own preparation. The old plaster of a grand ceiling and a partition wall in a new development share neither the same substrate nor the same products.

What we do here

Restoration between two leases in the property managers’ condominiums, where expats move on quickly.
Full refresh of apartments lived in by their owners.
Old ceilings: we level the fine cracks before repainting.
Wallpaper hanging in the living rooms and bedrooms of the grand apartments.
Enamel in the wet rooms of recent developments.

Who we work for

Property managers running a grand housing stock in the neighbourhood.
Landlords renting to expats.
Private owners renovating their home.
Expat tenants ahead of a move abroad.

Whoever places the order, the site protocol stays the same. One contact coordinates your file, from the first appointment to the handover of keys.

The site calendar

In the Petit-Saconnex, it is the international postings that set the rhythm of the year. The peaks fall in June-September and in January-February, when leases change hands. We hold our slots for property managers and regular landlords over those periods. Best to let us know early.

Site access

The neighbourhood is about ten minutes from our depot. The streets are generally easy to reach. For site parking, we confirm it according to the exact address.
