General Renovation Services in Kuala Lumpur & Selangor

Renovation is the point where every other trade comes together — tiling, electrical, plumbing, painting, ceilings and carpentry-free finishing all meet in one plan. For homeowners in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, a renovation should be more than a list of works; it should be a sequence that is planned, phased and coordinated so the result is finished properly without rework. Renovix provides general renovation services across the Klang Valley, from partial renovations of a single bathroom or kitchen to full house renovations.

We cover the structural and finishing core of renovation: wall hacking and removal, floor hacking, brickwork and masonry, plastering, cement and concrete repair, wall and crack repair, screeding and skirting installation. Around that core, we coordinate the tiling, electrical, plumbing, painting and waterproofing work that completes a home — through one point of contact, phased to suit the project.

Service Overview

Full & Partial Renovation, Managed as One Project

A good renovation is a sequence: demolition and hacking first, building and repairs next, then services and finishes. We keep that sequence in order.

For partial renovations — a bathroom, kitchen, or a section of the house — we scope the work carefully so the space stays usable and the project stays contained. Bathroom and kitchen renovations typically combine hacking, plumbing and waterproofing with tiling and finishing. For full house renovations, we plan the project in phases: demolition and hacking, structural and masonry work, then wiring, plumbing and finishing trades, with clean handover at the end.

We also handle the individual building works that renovation requires: brickwork and masonry, plastering, cement and concrete repair, wall and crack repair, floor screeding and skirting. Where a wall needs to be removed, it must first be assessed — we can advise on the checks required before any structural change. For condos and apartments, we can also advise on the building management approvals typically needed for renovation work.

FAQs

General Renovation — Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to the questions customers ask us most about this service.

How much does house renovation cost in Malaysia?

The per-sqft bands above are a budgeting tool, not a quotation — your scope picks the band, not your floor area alone. Three things move a number the most: layout changes, because hacking and new partitions add structural work; wet areas, where plumbing, waterproofing and tiling trades stack on top of each other; and built-in joinery, which prices by the foot run rather than by appearance. The discipline that keeps a renovation predictable is agreed before day one — a defined scope, a phase order, and a clear written line between what is and is not included.

What is the difference between full and partial renovation?

A full renovation covers the whole property — typically all rooms, all services and finishes. A partial renovation focuses on specific areas such as a bathroom, kitchen or section of the house. We help you decide based on your budget, condition of the home and what you want to achieve.

Can I stay at home during a renovation?

For partial renovations, staying at home is usually possible with the affected area sealed off. Full renovations generate more dust, noise and disruption, and it is often more practical to move out during the most intense phases. We can advise based on the scope.

How long does a house renovation take?

It depends on the scope: a bathroom renovation typically takes a couple of weeks, while a full house renovation takes longer depending on size and the extent of the works. We provide a phased schedule with the quotation.

Do I need approval for condo or apartment renovation?

Most condominium and apartment management bodies require renovation applications and have rules on working hours and certain works. We can advise on what to prepare and what is typically required.

Can any wall be removed during renovation?

Not all walls. Some walls are load-bearing and should only be altered after proper assessment. We can advise on the checks required before any wall removal is planned.

Do you handle all trades or just some?

We cover the core building works and coordinate the related trades — tiling, electrical, plumbing, painting and waterproofing — so the project is managed as one coordinated job.
