Organise painting and renovation around your move

Painting and renovation around a move: define the work, compare quotes and find current platforms for suitable providers in Germany.

01

Which jobs may arise around a move?

Not every move-out requires renovation. First check what is actually agreed or what you want done, then commission only that scope.

  • Painting interior walls and ceilings
  • Wallpapering or removing wallpaper
  • Preparing drill holes and small surface defects
  • Painting doors, radiators or other surfaces
  • Renovating the new home before move-in

02

What belongs in a good request?

Photos and dimensions are more useful than a simple room count.

  • Square metres or wall/ceiling areas
  • Condition of surfaces and existing wallpaper
  • Colour/finish and number of coats if known
  • Who supplies materials
  • Furnished or empty; protection/preparation work
  • Fixed completion date before handover or move-in

03

How should quotes be compared?

Check whether each quote includes the same preparation and materials.

  • Materials included or separate
  • Filling/priming included
  • Masking, protection and disposal
  • Travel and minimum order value
  • Acceptance and rectification
  • Invoice with clear description of work
