Demolition
deconstruction · strip-out · removal
Selective deconstruction: strip-out, material sorting, asbestos removal by a certified contractor, disposal through licensed channels with waste tickets. You get back a clean, levelled plot.
Apartment renovation costs in Paris
The cost of a renovation depends above all on the condition of the apartment and on what is being redone. Here are our indicative ranges for 2026, incl. VAT, covering materials and labour, followed by examples calculated for common floor areas. The exact price is set after the visit, item by item.

Per square metre
Light or major renovation
A light renovation covers the floors, walls and paintwork without touching the services: allow €320 – €600/m² incl. VAT. A major renovation also covers the structure, the electrics, the plumbing and the room layout: allow €1,450 – €2,150/m² incl. VAT.
Between the two, it all depends on what you keep: an old parquet floor restored rather than replaced, a kitchen kept as it is, a bathroom that is only refreshed.

Paris
What affects the price in Paris
The starting condition: wiring to be redone, old plumbing, floor structures to be repaired.
The building: an upper floor with no lift, narrow access, working hours agreed with the managing agent (syndic), protection of the common parts, rubble removal, a skip position authorised by the City of Paris.
Materials and finishes: large-format tiles or stone, solid or engineered wood flooring, a bespoke kitchen and bathroom.
A load-bearing wall to open up: this requires a structural engineer's calculations and the approval of the co-ownership general meeting (assemblée générale des copropriétaires).

Your questions
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to renovate a 50 m² apartment in Paris?
Based on our 2026 ranges, allow €16,000 – €30,000 incl. VAT for a light renovation and €72,500 – €107,500 incl. VAT for a major renovation. The exact price is set after the visit, item by item, before any commitment.
How much does a complete bathroom cost?
For a bathroom of about 5 m², turnkey, allow €4,850 – €11,000 incl. VAT, depending on the fittings and surface finishes you choose.
Why is a price per m² only a rough guide?
Two apartments of the same size can call for very different work: services that may or may not need redoing, partitions to be moved, the level of finish. That is why we price the work after the visit, item by item.
Is the quote detailed?
Yes: every item is written into the quote, with the materials, quantities and prices.
Are you insured?
Ten-year liability insurance (décennale) taken out for each project; you receive the certificate before work starts.
