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.
Partial renovation in the canton of St. Gallen
The canton of St. Gallen stretches from Lake Constance to the valleys of the Toggenburg and Lake Zurich. In the city of St. Gallen, townhouses with richly decorated oriels contain flats that are often partially renovated, for example a kitchen or a bathroom. On the lakeshore, condominium flats are modernised after each sale. In the Toggenburg, around Wattwil, timber farmhouses require work that respects their woodwork. In the Rhine valley, many detached houses are reaching a stage where modernisation is due. Planning to alter an oriel? Check with your municipality in St. Gallen. Careful planning keeps disruption to a minimum for residents.
- In an older flat with an oriel, have the airtightness of this projection checked, as it is often a source of heat loss.
- For a Toggenburg farmhouse, keep the sound woodwork and focus the work on the kitchen and bathrooms.

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