Renovation in Faro. No Surprises, no delays.
As the capital of the Algarve, Faro combines historic charm with modern living. From restoring period townhouses inside the walled city to upgrading apartments near the university, our team delivers quality renovations tailored to Faro's unique architecture.


Faro is the administrative capital of the Algarve and a thriving university city with a fascinating blend of old and new. Within the medieval walls of Cidade Velha you will find centuries-old buildings with traditional azulejo tiles, while the surrounding districts feature modern apartment blocks popular with students, professionals and retirees. The city is also a gateway to the Ria Formosa natural park, making waterproofing and humidity control especially important for properties near the coast. Our team understands the specific building regulations and architectural heritage requirements that apply to renovations in Faro.

Yes, properties within the Cidade Velha (walled old town) and surrounding conservation areas are subject to additional heritage regulations. Facade changes, window replacements and structural modifications typically require approval from the local council and sometimes DGPC (national heritage authority). We have experience navigating these processes and can handle all the paperwork for you.

Many landlords in these areas renovate apartments to attract university students or create short-term rental properties. We can advise on the best approach for your investment goals.
Absolutely. Faro's proximity to the Ria Formosa lagoon and the Atlantic coast means many properties are exposed to high humidity and salt-laden air. Proper waterproofing of roofs, terraces and facades is essential to prevent damp, mould and structural damage. We use premium waterproofing systems specifically designed for coastal environments.
A kitchen renovation takes 2 to 3 weeks, a bathroom 10 to 14 days, and a full apartment renovation 4 to 8 weeks. Heritage properties in the Old Town may take slightly longer due to the specialist work involved. All timelines are fixed by contract with penalty clauses for delays.
