How do you prepare the walls of the 1960s-70s buildings in Vernier?

This stock mixes plaster with older renders, under ceilings that often show hairline cracks. We start by probing the surface to spot chalking or any substrate that has come loose. Then we sand. We fill, we bind the substrate, and we apply an undercoat picked to suit the wall before the finish. That step heads off touch-ups later and gives a taut result, which is what an agency looks for at handover.

Can a flat be repainted while occupied in a Vernier co-ownership?

It can. We move room by room, with dust sheets on the floor and the furniture under cover. The paints are low-odour and low-VOC, so the home stays livable while we work. Drying times between coats are respected, the finish holds, and we clear the dust at the end.

Do you work with property agencies on restorations between two tenants?

That is the heart of what we do here. Vernier has a large rental stock, and tenants change often. We build the schedule around the move-out inspection and the re-letting date. We work on the empty flat and arrange access with the caretaker. The same person handles the worksite and the billing to the landlord.

How do you handle a flat after water damage in the older buildings of Vernier?

Hidden leaks turn up fairly often in the 1960s-70s blocks. First we wait for the surface to dry right through. We lay a stain-blocking coat over the water marks, then redo the finish so it disappears into the rest of the room. We keep the agency informed in writing, and we pass on the useful details to the insurer when that is needed.

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

Vernier is the closest municipality to the Renovhome SA head office, on Route du Bois-des-Frères 32, at Le Lignon. The building stock is modern. Most of it is made up of apartment blocks built between the 1960s and the 1990s, with a large share of collective housing run by Geneva property agencies. Worksites come one after another, and rental activity rarely pauses.

Vernier, the municipality next to us

Our depot stands on Route du Bois-des-Frères 32, on the edge of Le Lignon and Vernier. Next door, really. No canton to cross, no travel to plan. We are already on the spot. That nearness changes one thing above all: how fast we can answer when an agency has a flat to restore before a new tenancy.

The Vernier building stock in a few lines

The stock is modern overall. Several worksite realities sit side by side.

Buildings from the 1960s-70s around Le Lignon and the workers’ estate.
More recent construction towards Aïre, Cointrin and Châtelaine.
Collective housing run by Geneva property agencies.
A few villas and low-rise co-ownerships towards Le Bois-Vieux.

Each era brings its own surfaces. The plaster of a 1960s building is not prepared the way a wall in recent construction is, so we adjust the products to match.

What we do in Vernier

Restoration of flats between two tenants in agency-managed co-ownerships. This is the bulk of our work in the municipality.
Repair after water damage, common in the 1960s-70s stock. We wait for full drying, treat the water marks, then match the existing finish.
Refreshing private flats where tenants come and go.
Painting ceilings marked by stains or hairline cracks.
Reworking the enamel in the wet rooms of modern co-ownerships.

Who we work for

Agencies that manage a large stock in Vernier, often tied to their activity at Le Lignon.
Landlords with brisk rental turnover.
Municipalities and public bodies, for occasional worksites.
Tenants getting ready for the move-out inspection.

The re-letting calendar

Rental demand in Vernier holds steady. Worksites run all year. Being close lets us fit a local job into the schedule without delay: a claim, an unplanned departure, a quick repair. We set the visit and the quote around your window, then step in right after.

Access and organisation

Access from our depot is direct. Parking stays workable, and material reaches the site as the job moves on. One contact handles your file, from the visit through to the handover of keys, which makes coordinating access with the caretaker simpler.
