Renovation with one project lead
A proper renovation is not just nice tiles and fresh paint. It needs technical review, the right work sequence, clear material decisions and coordination of many trades without losing time or quality. Drosopoulos delivers apartment, single-family, Airbnb, commercial and older property renovations in Thessaloniki. We organise demolition, plumbing, electrical, floors, drywall, windows, insulation, bathroom and kitchen with unified technical supervision.

How we run a renovation
Site visit & survey
We review the space, existing services, use requirements and factors affecting cost, time and technical solutions.
Budget & material options
Clear scope proposal, priorities and material alternatives so you know what to do now and what can wait.
Trade coordination
Demolition, plumbing, electrical, floors, drywall, windows and finishes in the correct sequence.
Ready-to-use handover
Detail checks, cleanup and delivery of a functional, finished space.
What affects cost
Cost depends on floor area, building age, condition of plumbing and electrical, materials, access in apartment blocks, logistics and finish level. That is why we always ask for photos, basic dimensions and a site visit where needed — so the quote reflects real scope, not generic prices that change on site.
Renovation FAQ
- Do you handle full renovation or individual trades only?
- Both. We can organise a full renovation with all trades or specific works such as bathroom, kitchen, plumbing, electrical, floors, windows and insulation.
- Can you give an initial estimate from photos?
- Yes for a first indication — send photos, floor area and what you want to change. Accurate pricing usually needs a site visit.
- How long does an apartment renovation take?
- Depends on scope. A bathroom can be shorter; a full apartment needs proper scheduling of trades, materials and deliveries.
- Do you work in old central Thessaloniki apartment blocks?
- Yes. We have experience with older properties where strip-out, common areas, existing networks and access constraints need care.
Planning a renovation?
Send photos, floor area and what you want to achieve. We will guide you on next steps and priorities.Demolition
Controlled demolition and strip-out for renovation or rebuild — with waste management and protection of adjacent areas.
Demolition & strip-out
Before a renovation starts, strip-out must be planned correctly — what stays, what goes, how MEP is isolated and how common areas are protected. We handle partial or full demolition for apartments, houses and commercial spaces.
What we remove
Work sequence
Protection
Cover lifts, floors and adjacent properties where needed.
Isolation
Shut off and cap services safely.
Removal
Systematic demolition with debris management.
Substrate check
Inspect structure and substrates before new works.
FAQ
- Do you handle waste disposal?
- Yes — debris is collected and disposed of according to project requirements.
- Can you demolish one room only?
- Yes — partial strip-out is common before bathroom or kitchen renovation.
Need strip-out?
Send photos and describe scope for an initial estimate.Plumbing
Plumbing for renovation and new build — supplies, drainage, boilers, bathrooms and kitchens.
Plumbing that lasts
Plumbing errors are expensive to fix after tiles and finishes go in. We plan supplies, drainage slopes, access panels and pressure requirements before closing surfaces. Residential renovations, new builds, bathrooms, kitchens and heating connections.
Services
Process
Layout
Fix positions for sanitaryware, kitchen, washing machine.
Rough-in
Pipework before screed and tiles.
Pressure test
Check before surfaces close.
Commissioning
Connect fixtures and verify operation.
FAQ
- Can you move the kitchen sink?
- Usually yes — we check drainage falls and pipe routes first.
- Do you install boilers and heat pumps?
- Yes — as part of heating upgrade or Exoikonomo packages.
Plumbing for your project?
Send layout or photos of existing installation.Electrical
Electrical works for renovation and construction — rewiring, panels, lighting and smart pre-wiring.
Electrical upgrade
Older apartments often need full rewiring to meet current loads, safety and future needs — kitchen appliances, AC, EV charging prep, LED lighting and smart controls. We design circuits, upgrade panels and coordinate with drywall and finishing trades.
What we install
Coordination
First fix
Conduits and boxes before plasterboard.
Drywall sync
Spot positions aligned with ceiling design.
Second fix
Plates, fixtures, testing and certification.
FAQ
- Do I need full rewiring?
- We assess age, panel condition and planned loads — partial upgrade is sometimes enough.
- Can you prepare for EV charger?
- Yes — dedicated circuit from panel to parking where feasible.
Electrical for renovation?
Send floor plan or photos of existing panel.Flooring
Floor finishes for renovation — tiles, wood, preparation and levelling.
Floors that finish the space
Floor quality depends on substrate preparation, levelling, expansion joints and the right product for each room — wet areas, living spaces, stairs. We install ceramic, porcelain and wood floors as part of full renovations.
Options
Steps
Substrate check
Moisture, level and strength.
Preparation
Screed or levelling compound.
Installation
Layout, cuts, grouting or sealing.
Protection
Cover during remaining trades.
FAQ
- Can you install large-format tiles?
- Yes — with proper levelling and experienced fixing.
- Wood over underfloor heating?
- Yes — with compatible products and acclimatisation.
New floors for your renovation?
Send room sizes and preferred material.Painting
Interior and exterior painting with proper preparation — repairs, primers and clean finishes.
Painting done properly
Lasting paintwork starts with substrate condition — damp spots, loose plaster and old coatings must be addressed, not hidden. We paint apartments, houses and commercial spaces after renovation or as a standalone upgrade.
Scope
Work sequence
Surface check
Moisture, cracks and old paint stability.
Repairs
Fill and stabilise before top coats.
Primer & finish
System chosen for room use and durability.
Final inspection
Touch-ups at corners, joints and light angles.
FAQ
- When is skim coating needed?
- When you want a very smooth finish or old surfaces have defects that show in raking light.
- Can damp stains be painted over?
- The cause must be found first. Paint alone may hide the problem temporarily, not fix it.
Want clean final surfaces?
Send photos of walls and ceilings for assessment of repairs, materials and duration.Drywall
Drywall for new layouts, suspended ceilings, concealed lighting and clean architecture.
Drywall as a design tool
Drywall can hide services, create new rooms, improve lighting and modernise a space without heavy structural work. We build ceilings, partitions, wall linings, concealed lighting, niches and custom boxes for homes or commercial spaces.
Applications
From idea to build
Function design
Define what to hide, divide or highlight.
Electrical coordination
Lighting and cable provisions before closing.
Frame and board
Correct structure, board type and reinforcements.
Skim and paint
Joint treatment and smooth finish.
FAQ
- Can drywall carry weight?
- Yes — with reinforcements at TV, cabinet or other load points.
- Drywall in bathrooms?
- Yes — with moisture-resistant boards and correct detailing.
Want a ceiling or new layout?
Send photos and what you want to achieve for the right drywall solution.Bathroom
Full bathroom renovation with correct plumbing, waterproofing, layout and clean aesthetics.
Functional, watertight, beautiful
Bathrooms are small spaces with many technical demands. Proper renovation needs plumbing design, waterproofing, correct falls, tile choice, lighting and sanitaryware matched to use. We handle the full process: strip-out, new supplies and waste, waterproofing, tiling, shower or bath, vanity, mirror, lighting and final connections.
Options for the new bathroom
Renovation stages
Strip-out
Remove tiles, sanitaryware and old services with care in shared buildings.
Plumbing & electrical

Bathroom FAQ
- How much does bathroom renovation cost?
- Depends on size, tiles, sanitaryware, plumbing changes and finish level. We can give an initial estimate from photos and dimensions.
- Can I replace bath with shower?
- In most cases yes. We check waste, falls, tap position and dimensions.
- Is waterproofing required?
- Yes — especially in shower zones. It is a small part of cost but critical for durability.

Window replacement for better insulation, acoustics, security and visual upgrade.
Windows that affect comfort and bills
Windows are among the most impactful renovation interventions. They reduce losses, noise and moisture while changing the property inside and out. We work with aluminium and PVC solutions such as Alumil and Aluplast, focusing on correct measurement, installation, sealing and thermal continuity.
What we assess before selection
Material & system
Aluminium or PVC depending on requirements, building style, budget and energy target.
Glazing
Double or special glazing for thermal, acoustic and security performance.
Shading & screens
Roller shutters, blinds, insect screens and daily-use details.
Installation
Performance depends heavily on correct fitting and sealing.
Replacement process
Measurement
Accurate opening sizes and structural condition.
Selection
System, colour, glazing and hardware.
Removal & install
Old frames out, new frames fitted and foamed/sealed.
Finish
Internal trims and cleanup.
FAQ
- Aluminium or PVC?
- Both can perform well — choice depends on building, budget and aesthetic preference.
