Your project in the canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden
At the foot of the Alpstein, Appenzell Innerrhoden is a landscape of green hills, scattered farmhouses and villages with strong character. The village of Appenzell is famous for its timber houses with brightly painted façades, while Gonten, Schwende and Weissbad have more dispersed settlements, often on sloping ground. The Oberegg enclave, closer to the Rhine Valley, combines traditional houses with more recent buildings. Many properties are old, with timber structures that call for specialist skills when it comes to insulation, windows or woodwork. The canton is German-speaking, yet your request can be written in English. For any project affecting the outside of a traditional Appenzell house, check with your municipality. State the village, postcode and width of the access road if the house is on a slope or outside the village.
- For a timber house with painted façades, attach photos of the exterior so that tradespeople can assess the work.
- If your farmhouse is isolated, describe the access road and how passable it is in winter.
- Give the approximate age of the building, as insulation methods differ for old timber houses.
Partial renovation in the canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden
In Appenzell Innerrhoden, partial renovation mainly concerns timber houses with low-ceilinged rooms, where owners want to keep the character while gaining comfort. An old kitchen is readily replaced, a panelled bedroom refreshed or a bathroom created in a former storeroom. In the village of Appenzell, the interiors of the houses lining the main street call for discreet work. Around Schwende, holiday homes and old farmhouses are often modernised between two tourist seasons. In the village, before replacing a window, ask the municipality for advice. Original floors and beams deserve careful examination, as they sometimes hide irregularities that affect how the work proceeds.
- Ask to keep the interior woodwork when it is sound; simple sanding is often enough to restore its lustre.
- For an isolated farm, specify winter access and where materials can be stored under cover.

Frequently asked questions
How should I prepare for a bathroom or kitchen renovation in Appenzell Innerrhoden?
Clear the room completely and plan an alternative for cooking or washing during the work. Choose your fixtures, tiles and fittings early so that they are available on time. Agree with the company on access, working hours and how the site will be protected.
How can a partial renovation be planned in an occupied home?
Identify essential routes, sleeping areas and washing or cooking facilities that must remain usable. Ask how dust, noise and interruptions will be managed. A sequence agreed for the specific rooms is more useful than assuming a standard duration for every renovation.
What should I compare in partial renovation quotes?
Compare the same room and task list, including preparation, hidden installations and finishes. Identify removal, disposal and protection of retained areas. Ask how discoveries after opening walls or floors will be recorded and approved before extra work proceeds.
How should I prepare for the partial renovation visit or work?
Prepare photographs, available plans and a list of fixtures to keep. Make material choices with the contractor before ordering, and agree access and storage areas. Avoid dismantling existing installations before their condition and any required checks have been assessed.
