5 Best Renovation Contractors in Zurich That’ll Nail Your Next Project
After watching too many DIY home renovation videos in my spare time, I’d somehow convinced myself that I could do it too. Dangerous thinking, really.
I’d been planning a kitchen renovation for ages, and on one particularly boring Saturday, a random burst of motivation hit me out of nowhere, and I decided to get started.
I sketched out a design, figured out how I want everything to look, mapped out where things would go, and started looking up what I’d need. Simple enough, yeah? Well, not quite. Things got overwhelming rather quickly.
Before long, I was standing frozen in the middle of my kitchen, utterly gobsmacked, with no idea what to buy first and where to even begin. DIY is clearly not my forte.
So, as any sensible person would, I put the tape measure down, closed all those tabs, and spent the rest of that day looking up the best renovation contractors in Zurich. It’s honestly the best decision I made, so I thought of sharing it through this list.
How much do renovation contractors charge in Zurich?
Renovation contractors in Zurich roughly charge CHF 15 to CHF 25 per square meter for painting and CHF 100 to CHF 150 for flooring.
Full kitchen renovations sit at CHF 30,000 to CHF 50,000, CHF 20,000 to CHF 40,000 for a bathroom overhaul, and above CHF 100,000 for a complete house renovation.
Always get a few quotes, and keep a 10% to 15% buffer for surprises.
1. RENEX GmbH
Address: Brandschenkestrasse 178
Contact details: +41442010099
Business hours:
- Monday to Friday: 7:30 AM – 5:30 PM
- Saturday: 7:30 AM – 12:00 PM
If the name sounds familiar, that’s because RENEX stands for RENovation EXperts, and from what I’ve seen, it’s well earned.
They’re a full-service renovation contractor covering everything from full home and flat renovations to smaller room remodelling. They also do room architecture consultations, which I think is brilliant for those unsure how to make the most of their existing space.
They cater to commercial clients, too—think shops and offices that need to look the part.
This range matters because renovation projects rarely stay simple. You start with the kitchen and suddenly realise the flooring needs sorting or the staircase banister has seen better days.
With RENEX, you don’t have to ring up five different contractors because they take on the whole lot, coordinated by a single point of contact from start to finish.
They also balance flexibility and independence really well. They can take over a project with minimal supervision, but still take time to listen to client ideas and work within budget.
The only downside is that the pricing guide is not published, so I recommend getting a quote before committing.
Reliable, flexible, professional, good communication, clean work
“We had a plaster wall with a door and electrical work done. We were very satisfied. Reliable, flexible (for special requests), professional, good communication, clean work, and the end result was as expected. Some competitors’ quotes were twice as expensive. So, if you want good work at a good price, you should get a quote from Mr. Yari.”

2. Golden Brick Bauunternehmung – Zürich
Address: Wydäckerring 85
Contact details: +41783104291
Business hours: Monday to Friday: 7:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Golden Brick Bauunternehmung is a relatively new name, but the experience behind it runs much deeper. They have a team that brings years of hands-on experience from both the Italian and Swiss construction industries.
The company was founded in 2024 by Stefano Martino, who started his career as a mason, and that background clearly shapes how the business operates.
Stefano’s involvement with each product really stood out to me. Rather than taking a backseat, he stays closely involved, guiding his junior crew and making sure work is carried out properly at every step.
They operate across several Swiss cantons, not only in Zurich, and their core specialisms are masonry, conversions, plastering, and tile and floor laying of all kinds.
This covers a solid chunk of what most homeowners actually need when it comes to renovation work. While they may not offer the same full-service scope as bigger firms, they do what they specialise in very well.
Clients especially appreciate that Stefano is always on the other end of the line, providing a clear point of contact and consistent updates throughout the project. Many also mention that timelines are respected and budgets are handled carefully.
Deadlines were met, quote was detailed, workmanship exceeded expectations
“I commissioned Golden Brick Construction Company, Zurich, for the first time to renovate my entrance, stairs, and paving. All the work had to be carried out outdoors by a local bricklayer. From the initial on-site contact with Mr. Stefano Martino, the managing director, to the completion of the work, I was extremely satisfied in every respect: all deadlines were met with utmost punctuality, the quote was detailed and offered excellent value for money, and the workmanship exceeded my expectations. Therefore, I can highly recommend Golden Brick Construction Company, Zurich, to anyone who not only values quality but also appreciates adherence to deadlines and accurate quotes/invoices.”

Communication with Mr. Martino was easy and straightforward
“A very friendly and competent team. I had my bathroom and toilet remodeled – the work was carried out quickly, cleanly, and exactly according to my wishes. Mr. Martion kept me regularly informed with updates. Communication with him was easy and straightforward.”

3. Herzog Umbauten AG
Address: Heinrichstrasse 177
Contact details: +41443210890
Business hours: Monday to Friday: 7:00 AM – 5:00 PM
With nearly three decades in the industry, Herzog Umbauten AG is easily one of the most seasoned names on this list.
They specialise in what they call Baumeisterarbeiten or master builder work, which covers a pretty wide range: new builds, renovation and conversion, masonry, and restoration.
They even handle old building restorations, something that not every contractor can do well, as it requires a deeper understanding of older construction methods and materials.
But above all of that, what I found impressive is their Beton Art offering. It’s a waxed concrete finish that creates a seamless, stoneline tone across walls, floors, and even furniture. It’s extremely durable and works both indoors and outdoors.
People like that, despite their years in the trade, haven’t gone the corporate route. They still operate as a tight-knit, hands-on crew with emphasis on personal consultation that sits right with most clients.
Although this also means their capacity can be limited, so for new clients, I recommend booking ahead.
He built an apartment building at a reasonable price and with good quality
“Top builder! He built an apartment building at a reasonable price and with good quality, featuring beautiful exposed concrete! Davide Palazzo personally ensures success and is often on-site at the construction site. He also considers other work areas and thus helps to ensure the project is completed optimally. Good, affordable, fair, and personable ”

Foremen assume responsibility and assist with planning and coordination
“The two business managers demonstrated friendly communication, spontaneity, and helpfulness. Foremen and foremen assume responsibility and assist with planning and coordination.”

4. Handwerker Allround GmbH
Address: Bachtelstrasse 16
Contact details: +41793123211
Business hours:
- Monday to Friday: 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM
- Saturday: 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM
The name, which roughly translates to “all-round craftsmen,” says it all. Handwerker Allround covers an impressively wide range of trades under one roof, making it a versatile option for anyone with a renovation or conversion project on their hands.
What stood out to me is their role as general contractor. They don’t just carry out the work, but coordinate the entire project, including plumbers, electricians, and other specialists, so you’re not the one ringing around and getting everyone on board.
The team is led by Maher Mouhasseb, and clients always specifically mention him in their praises, saying he’s very invested throughout each project. He always made sure his team delivered quality work within the set timeframe, and that reliability really stuck.
Even a friend who worked with them kept saying how present Maher is. She had them tweak the details of her countertop a few times after not liking it at first, and he and the team were very patient and didn’t stop until she was satisfied with the result.
On the flip side, they are based outside Zurich city centre, which might pose challenges with accessibility for some.
Maher Mouhasseb listened to our plans and made them happen
“Excellent work. Herr Mouhasseb checked in with me throughout the process of renovation to ensure that I was satisfied with what was happening. He listened to our plans and made them happen. Also, he finished ahead of schedule. I would definitely work with him again.”

The consultation was expert, the execution absolutely professional and clean
“We had our office renovated and are more than satisfied with the result! The consultation was expert, the execution absolutely professional and clean. All work was completed on schedule, and the price-performance ratio is excellent. We were particularly impressed by the reliability and the quality of workmanship. Our office now looks fantastic – thank you so much for the great work! Highly recommended!”

5. Reno Group GmbH – Hausumbau, Badezimmer renovieren
Address: Dorfstrasse 6
Contact details: +41566111001
Business hours:
- Monday to Friday: 7:30 AM – 6:30 PM
- Saturday: 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Reno Group stands out as one of the more structured and process-driven contractors. With over ten years of experience and three physical showrooms (Dottikon, Kilchberg, and Pratteln), they’ve grown well beyond a small local service.
Their core focus is bathroom and kitchen renovations alongside full house conversions, but their capabilities extend across demolition, disposal, painting, flooring, masonry, dry construction, and up to full interior fit-outs.
An impressive detail I found was that their whole crew is in-house. They don’t hire subcontractors that can make matters of accountability and pricing a little tricky.
Because of this, they’re able to offer a fixed price guarantee, with no additional costs, which is something fairly rare in this industry
The process is also well-structured. It starts with a home consultation, followed by a 3D visualisation of the planned space, material selection, and fully managed build overseen by a dedicated site manager. They’ll even help sort out financing where necessary.
Client feedback paints a picture of a team that communicates clearly, turns up on time, works cleanly, and delivers exactly what was agreed.
That said, their scale and structure may be more than what’s needed for small one-off jobs.
The work processes and all the tradespeople were well-organized
“We had a shower installed by RenoGroup. Mr. Sucharda was very dedicated, took our wishes into account, and gave us excellent advice. Communication with him was great! 👍🏻 The work processes and all the tradespeople were well-organized. Every tradesperson was a competent professional in their field. We would like to thank the RenoGroup team again for the fantastic work! We are very happy with our new shower!”
