Full-Home Renovation inMenton

In Menton the town shapes the work before the rooms do: an old town reached on foot, and walls that have stood for centuries. We take the whole residence, whether that is a villa above the sea, one of the tall ochre houses stacked behind the port, or an apartment along the front.

A kitchen, remade whole

What Menton Asks

Stairs instead of streets

Above the port the old town is reached on foot. Material is carried rather than delivered, and a programme that quietly ignores that is a programme that slips.

Old walls, honestly read

Thick masonry, vaulted cellars, timber that has been moving for a century. We open up and survey before we price, because a fixed price is only worth having if it was fixed against what is actually there.

The same people, start to finish

The people who survey the residence are the people who price it and run it, so a question raised on site is answered by someone who has already walked the rooms.

Under One Contract

Six disciplines, one signature

In Menton a commission is as often a villa or an old-town house as it is an apartment. Whichever it is, every discipline below sits inside the same contract and the same fixed price.

Full-Home Renovation

Strip-out, structure, first and second fix, plaster, floors and fittings. The whole job under one contract and one date. We draw the scheme with you room by room, specify every finish, then sequence the trades against it and hold the programme.

Stone & Bespoke Flooring

The subfloor comes first: levelled, underfloor heating run, screed poured and dried to a reading we take ourselves. Slabs and boards are chosen with you, then laid to the room's own lines: marble, travertine, herringbone oak, sealed and finished on site.

Kitchens & Bathrooms

Layouts are agreed with you, then the services follow that drawing. Waste, water, extraction and power are moved before a unit goes in. Wet rooms are tanked and the falls set to the drain. Cabinetry and worktops are specified to the millimetre, every fitting commissioned.

Roofing & Waterproofing

We take a roof or terrace back to the deck, correct the falls, and lay insulation and membrane with every upstand and outlet detailed by hand. The build-up is flood-tested before anything covers it. Only then do decking, tile or stone go down on top.

Climate, Lighting & Home Systems

Ducted cooling, ventilation and underfloor circuits are routed while the walls are open. Lighting is drawn before the plaster goes on, so coves and drivers sit inside the ceiling rather than on it. Every circuit is zoned, commissioned and set the way you live.

Exterior, Terrace & Pool

Levels, drainage and waterproofing are set before a stone is laid. Decks, paving and coping go down on pedestals or mortar to hold their line, with pool plant, lighting and irrigation run beneath them. Fixings and finishes are chosen for salt air.

How It Proceeds

A private consultationWe meet at the residence, or on a call if you are away from it. We walk the rooms, take the measure of the work, and hear every wish for what stays, what goes, and what the place should become.
A written scope at a fixed priceIt comes back as one quote: every finish named, every sum fixed, nothing buried. Agree it and the keys come to us. You are told where the work stands, week by week, until they come back.
The keys, on the promised dayWhen the work is finished we inspect it ourselves, room by room, and only then set the handover. On the agreed day you are walked through it and the keys are put back in your hand. The house is not the one you left.

Before We Begin

Menton, asked and answered

Where are you based?
Our office is at 39 Av. Princesse Grace, 98000 Monaco, along the coast from Menton. The first conversation happens at the residence, or on a call if you are away from it.
Can you renovate an old-town or protected property?
Yes. In the old town the constraints are as much structural as regulatory. Narrow stairs, shared walls, vaults that carry more than they look like they do. We survey before we price, and whatever consents the property needs are named in the written scope rather than discovered later.
Do you work on the villas in Garavan?
Yes. A villa runs in a different order from an apartment. It takes the envelope first, so roof, waterproofing and terraces, and then the interior behind it. It is still the same single contract and the same fixed price.
Is a Menton renovation cheaper than a Monaco one?
Access is usually easier, and that shows up honestly in the price. What does not change is the method: one written scope, one fixed sum, one completion date.
