Renovating Your Property
You'll be moving into your new home in weeks!
Do you need work done on your property by an English-speaking builder? Perhaps your property needs to be completely refurbished, (or 'reformed', as the Spanish put it).
We have the perfect solution. As a company, we have tried a number of builders and All You Need (allyouneed.es) comes out tops! The renovation of this apartment in Alicante city cost a little over 30.000€. All You Need listen to what the client wants and offers professional advice before giving an estimate. When the client is ready, a contract is signed which details exactly what you are getting, how long it takes and when to make stage-payments. This project took just over eight weeks. All the correct permissions were obtained from the town hall with permits for a skip to be parked outside the property. The renovation included a new, fully-tiled shower-room, installation of shower, wash basin and elevated w.c.; new tiled kitchen with polished granite breakfast bar, floor and wall units, white goods (included in price was oven, extractor, hob, fridge freezer and dishwasher); removal of walls; new hot and cold air-conditioning units operated independently in each room; installation and purchase of new sun-resistant patio doors for the balcony with electric powered canopy; new security locks with five keys, lowered ceilings, new LED lights and ceiling fans in all rooms; complete electrical re-wiring to modern standards including power box, plumbing, plastering and painting.
