Home Renovation & Remodeling
Extra floors, structural strengthening, kitchen and bathroom remodels, waterproofing, re-plastering and full-house makeovers. Across Delhi NCR.
Home renovation and remodeling in Delhi NCR
A renovation is harder than a new build, because you are working inside a structure whose drawings are usually lost, whose plumbing runs are a mystery until the first wall comes down, and whose family is often still living in it. GharVistar renovates homes in Delhi NCR with a structural engineer on the first visit, a phased plan that keeps at least one bathroom and the kitchen working, and a fixed quotation that includes the demolition and debris removal everyone forgets to price.
Our renovation work covers adding a floor to an existing house, structural strengthening and retrofitting, kitchen and bathroom remodeling, seepage and waterproofing repair, re-plastering and re-painting, replacing flooring, doors and windows, re-wiring and re-plumbing, front elevation makeovers and complete interior makeovers of older homes.
Houses built in the 1980s and 90s across NCR are now reaching the age where wiring, plumbing and waterproofing fail together; we renovate them into homes that last another thirty years.

Adding a floor: what we check first
The most requested renovation in Delhi NCR is an extra floor — for a grown-up child, for rent, or simply for space. Before we quote, a structural engineer checks the existing footings and columns (often by opening one footing), the slab thickness and the steel with a rebar scanner, and the permissible height and FAR under the applicable building bye-laws. Three outcomes are possible: the structure can take the floor as is; it can take it after column jacketing and a new plinth beam; or it should not. We tell you which, in writing, and price the strengthening separately so you can decide.
Living through a renovation
- Phased plan so one bathroom and the kitchen always work
- Dust barriers, floor protection and daily debris removal
- Fixed working hours agreed with you and the neighbours
- Demolition and debris disposal included in the quotation
- Unknowns (hidden pipes, rotten lintels) reported with photos and priced before touching
- Weekly progress report on WhatsApp with next week's plan
Renovation & Remodeling: what people ask for most
Bathroom renovation
A bathroom remodel replaces tiles, sanitaryware and fittings and usually the concealed plumbing and waterproofing too. Use the bathroom renovation cost calculator by size, tier and brand.
Kitchen renovation
An old kitchen is usually rebuilt as a modular kitchen with new plumbing and electrical points. See modular kitchen for layouts and finishes.
Old house renovation
Houses from the 1980s and 90s typically need re-wiring, new plumbing, waterproofing and sometimes structural strengthening. We start with a structural check and give a phased plan so the family can stay in the house.
House painting
Interior and exterior repainting is priced by area, paint grade, putty and primer. The house painting cost calculator gives a quick estimate.
Flooring replacement
Old floors are replaced with vitrified tiles, granite, marble, Italian marble or wood, including removal of the old floor. See the flooring cost calculator.

Renovation: frequently asked questions
How much does home renovation cost in Delhi NCR?
A kitchen remodel is ₹1.5–4 lakh, a bathroom ₹80,000–2.5 lakh, an extra floor ₹1,890–2,420 per sq ft, and a full 1,500 sq ft makeover ₹12–30 lakh.
Can I add a floor to my old house?
Usually yes, after a structural check of footings, columns and slab. We report what strengthening (if any) is needed and price it separately.
Do I need to move out?
For kitchen, bathroom and painting work, no — we phase it. For a full makeover with flooring and re-wiring, moving out for 6–8 weeks makes it faster and cheaper.
Do you fix seepage permanently?
Yes, by finding the source — terrace, bathroom, external wall or plumbing — and treating it with the right system, backed by a 5-year waterproofing warranty.
Do you handle sanction for an extra floor?
Yes, with the local development authority (Noida Authority, GNIDA, GDA, MCD, MCG, HSVP or the municipal corporation); fees at actuals.
How much does it cost to renovate a 1,000 sq ft house in Delhi NCR?
A cosmetic makeover (paint, flooring, doors, bathroom fittings) is ₹6–12 lakh; a full makeover with re-wiring, re-plumbing, kitchen and bathrooms is ₹12–22 lakh in Delhi NCR.
Can an old house be strengthened instead of demolished?
Often yes. Column jacketing, beam retrofitting, new plinth beams and crack injection can extend a 30–40 year old RCC house by decades at ₹1.5–6 lakh, far less than rebuilding. Our structural engineer assesses this on the first visit.
How do you fix seepage permanently?
By finding the source — terrace, bathroom, external wall or a leaking pipe — and treating it with the right system: PU or acrylic membrane on terraces, crystalline coating in bathrooms, injection grouting for cracks. Waterproofing carries a 5-year warranty.
