Renovating a flat in Rome usually means choosing between a general builder that manages every trade, an architecture studio that designs the space and oversees the works, and firms that lean towards systems or energy upgrades. Permits, condominium rules and the tax incentives still available add paperwork that a good contractor takes off your hands.

This guide lists companies whose own websites show what they renovate, how they work and what is included. For each one we note its strengths, from pre-purchase checks to financing, and whether its site is available in English.

How to choose Home Renovation Companies in Rome

  1. Ask who files the permitsMost interior renovations in Rome need a CILA or SCIA filed with the city by a qualified technician. Check whether the company's own architect or surveyor handles it and whether the fee is in the quote.
  2. Insist on an itemised quoteAsk for a computo metrico that lists each job with quantities and unit prices. It makes quotes comparable and limits arguments over extras once the walls are open.
  3. Put timing and payments in writingLink payments to completed stages rather than dates, and write the start date, duration and any penalty for delays into the contract.
  4. Check the condominium rules earlyMost Roman flats sit in condominiums with set working hours and rules on noise, lifts and rubble. A firm used to older buildings will plan around them and notify the building administrator.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to renovate an apartment in Rome?

It varies widely. The price depends on the size of the flat, how much of the layout and systems change, the finishes you choose and the condition of the building. Ask at least two firms for an itemised quote based on a site visit before deciding.

Do I need a permit to renovate my apartment?

Interior work that changes the layout or systems usually needs a CILA filed with the Comune di Roma by a technician, while structural changes need an SCIA or another permit. Simple repainting or replacing floors generally needs no filing. Your contractor or architect should confirm what applies before work starts.

Can I get a tax deduction on renovation work?

Italy offers deductions for renovation and energy-saving work, but rates and conditions change with each budget law and depend on whether the home is your main residence. Several companies on this list help with the paperwork; check the current rules with them or a tax adviser before signing.
