Repair of private houses and cottages in Phuket — from cosmetic to major renovation
We carry out repairs of houses and cottages in Phuket: from cosmetic updates to full rebuilding. Work is performed under contract, with a fixed estimate. We speak Russian, Thai, and English.
What this service is and what types exist
House renovation is the restoration or replacement of finishes, engineering systems, and structures inside and outside. Cosmetic renovation refreshes the surface: painting, wallpaper, tile, floors, ceilings — without interfering with walls or utilities. Major renovation affects load‑bearing elements and systems: reconfiguration, replacement of electrical wiring, plumbing, roofing, screed, and wall leveling. Facade work, landscaping of the plot, and rebuilding of utility rooms are treated separately. Materials are divided into rough — cement, plaster, drywall, profiles, and finishing — tile, laminate, paint, parquet, stone. In Phuket, moisture and mold protection is added to this: without it, finishes do not last long.
What the work includes
The basic cycle includes: removal of old finishes, debris removal, and rough work — screed, plaster, partitions, and the routing of pipes and cables. Then finishing: tile and floor installation, painting, wallpaper, installation of doors and windows, and mounting of plumbing fixtures and light fixtures. Air conditioning, pool, roofing, facade, landscaping, furniture, and design project are billed separately. We purchase materials or you do — as decided at the measurement visit. We do not take on the rebuilding of load‑bearing walls without a project, or work without a contract.
How much it costs
There is no fixed amount: the area, condition of the house, scope of rough work, and choice of materials vary from property to property, and a figure quoted over the phone would be inaccurate. The specialist visits the property, inspects the house inside and out, measures the rooms, checks the electrical, plumbing, and roofing systems, and then prepares an estimate broken down by type of work and materials. Travel and estimate — free of charge. We arrive within two days of the request. The order goes directly to the contractor, with no intermediaries — there is no markup for passing the request along. Prepayment — 30% for materials, the rest by stages. Payment — in cash or by bank transfer in baht and dollars. Warranty on work — 12 months.
Where we work
The main service area is Phuket: Patong, Kata, Karon, Kamala, Bang Tao, Rawai, Nai Harn, Chalong, Phuket Town, Kathu, Nai Thon, Mai Khao. We also travel to Phang Nga and Krabi — by ferry and by road. Travel outside Phuket — 3,000 baht for the trip; for orders from 150,000 baht, travel is free. We coordinate the layout, material selection, and estimate calculation online based on photos and measurements.
How the work proceeds
After the estimate is agreed, we set a start date. The crew arrives at the property with its own tools: rotary hammers, grinders, laser levels, mixers, and construction vacuums. First, demolition and debris removal, then rough work and the routing of utilities. Then finishing: tile, floors, painting, doors, lighting, and plumbing fixtures. We deliver materials according to the agreed list — you approve each line item. A house of 150 m² — from 6 to 12 weeks depending on the scope. You accept the result by an acceptance report: we go through each line of the estimate, checking outlets, faucets, joints, walls, and roofing. Any issues are resolved before signing.
Who performs the work
A crew of 8: a foreman, two finishers, an electrician, a plumber, a tiler, a painter, and a helper. The foreman has 15 years of experience, 8 of them in Thailand. Professional tools are used, including moisture meters for walls and thermal imagers for checking utilities. Languages — Russian, Thai, English. Schedule: Monday–Saturday, 8:00–18:00. Urgent measurement visit — within 24 hours. Only contractors with documents are admitted to the board: those working illegally are not listed here. The crew has a contractor's license and liability insurance.

What to consider in Phuket
From May to October, the rains come: plaster and paint take longer to dry, facade work is delayed, and roofing is best done before the season. Humidity year‑round exceeds 70% — without waterproofing and ventilation, mold appears in the walls, so it is included in the estimate for bathrooms and kitchens from the start. In houses by the sea, salt corrodes metal: stainless fasteners and hardware are used. In high season, from November to March, crews are busy, appointment times increase, and materials become more expensive. In some urbanizations, noisy work is permitted only from 9:00 to 17:00.
How to order
Write the address, the house area, and what is needed — cosmetic or major renovation, and whether reconfiguration is involved. Attach photos of the rooms and facade if you have them. In response, you will receive the measurement date and a list of questions on details. We reply within two hours during working hours.
