Renovating in Portugal shouldn't feel like a battle you're fighting alone.
Independent property & renovation guidance for expats from someone who's been through it, speaks the language, and is paid only by you.
Sound familiar?
I have three quotes and no idea if any of them are fair.
My builder has gone quiet and I don't know what to do.
I don't know if I need a permit or what the condominium can stop me from doing.
I've been on your side of the table.
I've lived abroad myself, and I've been through multiple renovations in Portugal, including a recent one. I know what it feels like to sit across from a contractor with a quote you can't fully read, in a language you don't fully speak.
I'm not a contractor or architect. I am an independent, assertive and experienced consultant, making sure you get what you paid for.
I don't work for the industry. I work for you.
I handle all Portuguese communication on your behalf.
