Your project in the canton of Glarus
The canton of Glarus occupies a narrow alpine valley framed by peaks, where the Linth flows down towards Lake Walen. The main town, Glarus, was largely rebuilt in the nineteenth century and has a regular street plan with stone buildings. Näfels and Mollis, to the north, feature mansions and residential districts, while Schwanden and Linthal, further up, retain former textile workers' housing. The mountain climate, with snow and the föhn wind, influences the choice of materials and the timing of outdoor work. The canton is German-speaking, but a request in English is entirely possible. For an old building or a change visible from the street, contact your municipality. Add the village or town and postcode, distinguishing the valley road from narrower routes to your building.
- In the upper valley, say whether the access road is affected by snow or closures.
- For a former worker's house, describe the condition of the roof and exterior walls.
- If your house is exposed to the föhn, mention it for any work on the roof or shutters.
Partial renovation in the canton of Glarus
The canton of Glarus is characterised by narrow valleys, former workers' estates and village houses clustered at the foot of the mountains. A partial renovation there often concerns homes built for spinning mill workers, whose kitchens and bathrooms have had their day. In Glarus, the buildings reconstructed after the great fire have a regular architecture that lends itself to targeted work. Around Linthal, mountain shade and long winters make improving windows and insulation a priority. The characterful residences of the Linth plain deserve materials suited to their old walls. If the work also affects the exterior, check with your municipality in Glarus.
- In a deep valley, take advantage of the renovation to improve natural light, for example with light colours and glazed doors.
- For a former workers' home, check that the electrical installation can handle modern appliances before redoing the kitchen.

Frequently asked questions
How should I prepare for a bathroom or kitchen renovation in Glarus?
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.
