Renovations

Trading Build Engineering delivers comprehensive renovation and remodeling services for residential, commercial, and office spaces across Sofia and throughout Bulgaria. Whether you have just purchased a property that needs updating, own a holiday home on the Black Sea coast that requires modernization, or want to transform your current living space, our experienced team handles every aspect of the renovation process — from initial assessment to final handover.

Complete Apartment Renovation (Turnkey)

Our most popular service is the full turnkey apartment renovation — known locally as "remont do klyuch." This all-inclusive approach means you receive a fully finished, move-in-ready home without having to coordinate multiple contractors yourself. The process encompasses demolition of old finishes, complete replacement of plumbing and electrical systems to meet current European standards, wall and floor preparation, tiling, painting, flooring installation, and final fixture fitting. For a standard 60–100 m² apartment, a complete renovation typically takes 4–8 weeks. Larger or luxury-grade projects may require 10–12 weeks.

Bathroom Renovation

Bathrooms demand particular expertise due to the critical importance of waterproofing and precise plumbing work. Our specialists handle full bathroom overhauls — from stripping old tiles and fixtures, replacing water supply and drainage pipes, applying professional-grade two-component waterproofing membranes, to installing new tiles, shower enclosures, bathtubs, vanity units, and heated towel rails. We work with premium European tile brands and sanitary ware to create bathrooms that are both beautiful and built to last.

Kitchen Remodeling

A kitchen renovation can dramatically improve your daily life and your property's value. We manage the entire process: removal of old cabinetry, reconfiguration of plumbing and electrical points to suit the new layout, wall tiling or glass splashback installation, moisture-resistant flooring, and full kitchen furniture fitting including built-in appliances. Our team coordinates closely with kitchen suppliers to ensure seamless installation.

Office and Commercial Renovations

We renovate offices, retail stores, restaurants, and other commercial premises with minimal disruption to your business. We can work during evenings and weekends or phase the project to keep portions of your space operational. Services include drywall partitioning, suspended ceiling installation with integrated lighting, commercial-grade flooring (vinyl, carpet tiles, polished concrete), painting, and branded interior finishes.

Partial Renovations and Cosmetic Refreshes

Not every project requires a complete overhaul. We also handle targeted improvements — replacing flooring in a single room, repainting throughout, swapping interior doors, updating light fixtures, or refreshing a single bathroom. Cosmetic renovations typically take 3–10 working days and offer an excellent way to modernize your space without major disruption.

Renovating for Foreign Property Owners

Bulgaria is an increasingly popular destination for international property buyers, and we understand the unique challenges that come with managing a renovation from abroad. Trading Build Engineering offers a full remote project management service: we conduct the initial property assessment on your behalf, provide a detailed scope of work with photographic documentation, supply transparent pricing with no hidden costs, and deliver weekly video progress reports throughout the project. We communicate fluently in English and can coordinate with your local legal or property management representatives. Whether you are renovating a ski apartment in Bansko, a seaside flat in Burgas, or an investment property in central Sofia, we ensure the same standard of quality and accountability as if you were on-site every day.

What to Expect During a Renovation in Bulgaria

If this is your first renovation project in Bulgaria, here is what to expect. All work is governed by a written contract specifying the scope, timeline, fixed price, and warranty terms. Demolition and rough work (plumbing, electrical, plastering) come first and are the noisiest phase — typically lasting 1–2 weeks. The finishing phase (tiling, painting, flooring, fixture installation) follows and takes 2–4 weeks. Bulgarian regulations require that electrical and plumbing work meet specific national standards, and we handle all compliance. Upon completion, we perform a thorough final inspection with you, address any punch-list items, and provide full warranty documentation.

Quality and Guarantees

We work exclusively with certified, high-quality materials from established European suppliers — Knauf, Weber, Baumit, Henkel Ceresit, and others. Every project is backed by a written contract with a fixed price and clear warranty terms: 5 years on finishing work and 10 years on structural elements. Our commitment is to deliver your project on time, to the highest standard, and with complete transparency.
