How is a wall prepared in a 1980s-90s Plan-les-Ouates condominium before repainting?

The 1980s-to-2000s stock along the route de Saint-Julien sits on standardised plasterboard. We rake out the shrinkage cracks. We make good the old plug holes and the condensation patches, then sand before the paint goes on. On a flat that has been occupied for years, we first read the wall under raking light. That reading is what frames the quote.

Can you repaint a new-build flat at Les Sciers or Les Cherpines before the tenant moves in?

This is a regular part of our work in the commune. On these recent programmes the jobs are grouped by stairwell, coordinated with the developer or the property manager. We keep the original contemporary finishes. The solvent content stays low, which suits a home that is occupied soon after the work ends.

Do you have to move out of a Champ-Joly villa during the painting?

Rarely. In owner-occupied villas we move room by room. Sheets go on the floor, the furniture is covered, and we tidy up at the end of the day. Odours stay limited. You can usually stay put through most of the phases.

Do you cover the whole of Plan-les-Ouates and its 1228 postcode?

The entire commune (1228) is covered. That runs from the residential sectors of Champ-Joly and La Chapelle to the condominiums on the routes de Saint-Julien and de Base, then on to the new programmes at Les Sciers and Les Cherpines. Travel is free across the canton of Geneva. The quote is done on site, with no obligation.

Representative architecture of the Plan-les-Ouates district in Geneva — Renovhome SA works there regularly. — Plan-les-Ouates — architecture representative of the district

Plan-les-Ouates is growing fast. The commune is built around its industrial zone, home to several large watchmaking manufacturers, and around residential districts that shift from one year to the next. The building stock follows three different logics. Detached villas in the Champ-Joly and La Chapelle sectors. Condominiums from the 1980s to the 2000s along the route de Saint-Julien. And new programmes around Les Cherpines and Les Sciers. Each one calls for its own preparation and its own products.

A commune changing its face

Plan-les-Ouates is one of the most active Geneva communes for urban planning. The densification around Les Sciers and Les Cherpines is redrawing the landscape. Alongside it, the older residential fabric holds firm. Villas, the small period buildings of the place des Aviateurs and 1980s-90s condominiums stay much sought after.

The Plan-les-Ouates building stock

Detached villas at Champ-Joly, La Chapelle and along the route du Camp. Interior painting, sometimes façades.
Condominiums from the 1980s to the 2000s, routes de Saint-Julien and de Base. Standardised plasterboard.
New programmes at Les Sciers and Les Cherpines. Contemporary finishes, low-solvent paints, stretched ceilings in some units.
Small period buildings in the old centre, around the place des Aviateurs and the rue des Vignes.

What we do in the commune

Full refresh of owner-occupied villas.
Putting flats back in order between tenancies in managed condominiums.
Painting new flats at Les Sciers and Les Cherpines before the tenant arrives, grouped by stairwell.
Repairs after water damage in the 1980s-90s stock.
Enamel on woodwork in the wet rooms of villas and renovated flats.
Designer wallpaper in villas and upmarket homes.

Who we deal with

The property managers running the condominiums on the routes de Saint-Julien and de Base.
Developers, on the new handovers at Les Sciers and Les Cherpines.
Owner-occupiers of villas.
Landlords in the recent programmes.
Tenants, ahead of a check-out inventory.

How the work is scheduled

The commune hands over in waves. When a new building is due back to its tenants, several flats need work over the same period. These grouped jobs are set weeks ahead with the developers and the property managers. On villas, the dates stay more flexible. We organise around your window.

Access and parking

Plan-les-Ouates is about 20 minutes from the Le Lignon depot, via the route de Lancy or the motorway. Parking is easy in the residential areas. On the Les Sciers and Les Cherpines sites, the new roads make arrival straightforward. For the denser condominiums, we sort out access with the caretakers.
