Your project in the canton of St. Gallen
The canton of St. Gallen almost entirely surrounds the two Appenzells and stretches from Lake Constance to Lake Zurich. The city of St. Gallen is known for its old town with oriel-windowed houses and for many buildings from its textile era. Rapperswil and Jona, on the shore of Lake Zurich, combine a historic centre with newer residential districts. Wil and Gossau are busy regional centres, while in the Rhine Valley, Altstätten and Buchs lie close to the Austrian border. The Toggenburg, around Wattwil, is a hilly landscape of farms and timber chalets. The canton is German-speaking, but your request can be written in English. For an old house in a town centre, ask your municipality whether the planned work requires approval. Give the municipality and postcode and describe building access, whether the project is in town, by the lake or in the Toggenburg.
- For an oriel-windowed house in St. Gallen's old town, attach photos of the façade and windows.
- In the Toggenburg, say whether the house is isolated and how it can be reached in winter.
- On the shores of Lake Zurich or Lake Constance, describe access to the plot and the space available for materials.
Parquet flooring work in the canton of St. Gallen
In the canton of St. Gallen, the elegant buildings of the city of St. Gallen, built during the embroidery era, contain many patterned oak parquets and high-quality floors that are restored rather than replaced. In Rapperswil-Jona, recent flats near Lake Zurich receive new wide-plank floors over underfloor heating. In the Toggenburg, around Wattwil, timber farmhouses are fitted with spruce or fir boards, sometimes salvaged from the house itself. The Rhine valley, in Altstätten or Buchs, has hot, humid summers that make wood swell, so allow a sufficient gap around the edges. Protected houses in the embroidery city often require prior contact with the municipality.
- For an old patterned parquet, ask for a restoration quote before considering complete replacement.
- In a room that is humid in summer, check that the fitter leaves an expansion gap along the walls, hidden under the skirting.

Frequently asked questions
How can I describe my existing wood floor in St. Gallen?
Give the room areas and any known board specification, such as solid or engineered wood, along with the current coating and previous treatments. Photograph worn areas and transitions from a safe position. Ask the fitter to identify the floor and the permitted treatment before choosing sanding or a new finish.
Can worn parquet be restored without replacing it?
The remaining wear layer, board condition and previous treatment determine which repairs or sanding are possible. Send photographs and any known flooring specification. A site inspection can distinguish surface wear from damage requiring local board replacement or work on the underlying base.
What should I compare in parquet and floor coverings quotes?
Compare board repairs, sanding, finishing and skirting work against the same area. For new parquet, check timber grade, laying method and any acoustic layer. Ask for product-care instructions and conditions for using the rooms after the specified treatment.
How should I prepare for the parquet and floor coverings visit or work?
Plan where furniture will go while the room is clear and identify heavy fitted items that cannot move. Keep records of earlier oils or coatings if available. Agree transitions, thresholds and protection of adjoining rooms before restoration or laying starts.
