Can you repaint an occupied apartment in Plainpalais, inside a dense townhouse building?

That works perfectly well. In the district's bourgeois buildings and co-ownerships, we move room by room. The floor is sheeted, the furniture covered. The paints we use give off little odour, so you can stay home while the work goes on. We tidy up at the end of each day, and the apartment is handed back clean.

Do you repaint stairwells and common areas in Plainpalais co-ownerships?

On a regular basis. The request comes up a lot in the district's 1960s-70s co-ownerships. We handle stairwells and landings in coordination with the management company or the committee, keeping the residents' comings and goings in mind. The surfaces are prepared and the plaster cracks filled first. We then pick a finish that holds up to heavy traffic.

How do you deal with ceilings stained after a leak in the older buildings of Plainpalais?

The district's old pipework leaves recurring marks on ceilings. We start by waiting for the surface to dry out. A sealing coat then goes over the marks to block any bleed-through, followed by the finish paint. We record the repair in writing. That helps later, when you have to coordinate with the insurer.

Do you work with management companies on between-tenancy turnover in Plainpalais?

It's a big part of what we do here. The district sees a lot of tenant turnover around the start of the university terms. For management companies and landlords, we take on the between-tenancy work, with a visit, a written quote, and finishes that match the inventory of fixtures. Every service is logged. Travel is free anywhere in the canton.

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

Plainpalais has no single property profile. Along the boulevard du Pont-d'Arve, you mostly find large co-ownerships from the 1960s and 70s. The buildings around the place du Cirque are more bourgeois. Near the faculties, student housing dominates. And dotted everywhere, old working-class buildings are being brought back up bit by bit. Every surface asks for its own preparation and its own products. We match the method to the building, not the reverse.

One district, several kinds of job

In Plainpalais, a single week can bring it all. A student studio to refresh near the boulevard du Pont-d’Arve. A bourgeois apartment on the rue de Carouge. A full turnaround of a four-room flat in a 1970s co-ownership, over towards the plain. Each job carries its own calendar and its own constraints. We adapt the protocol to each one.

The jobs we handle most often

Between-tenancy turnover for student housing, where tenants change quickly. We work around your slot, keep the site clean and log the services performed.
Standard refresh in the bourgeois apartments near the place du Cirque or the rue du Stand.
Stained ceilings in older buildings: a sealing coat over the leftover marks, then the finish.
Wallpapering in living spaces, for owner-occupiers.
Water-damage repairs, common here because of the old pipework.

Who we work with

Management companies running the district’s student and bourgeois co-ownerships.
Landlords dealing with quick tenant changeovers.
Owner-occupiers who prefer to renovate in stages.
Tenants, ahead of a move-in or move-out inventory.

The reletting windows

Tenant turnover climbs sharply around the start of the university terms, in August-September and again in January-February. These windows are tight. During those periods, we slot the urgent jobs in first: a visit, a quote, then the work straight after.

Parking on market days

The University, the faculties and the Plainpalais market all put pressure on parking. On market days (Wednesday, Saturday, Sunday), reaching the foot of the building turns awkward. So we plan material deliveries around those dates.
