The context in Cologny
On the left-bank slope overlooking the harbour, Cologny is among the most sought-after municipalities in the canton, with its prestigious villas and large estates. The old village and the residential districts are very green, and the slope of the plots sometimes makes machinery work harder. Finishing and a discreet worksite are highly expected.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions in Cologny
How long does renovating a villa roof in Cologny take?
Two to four weeks depending on the surface and the insulation. In the quote, you will find each item, the planned duration and what is not included.
Is a permit needed to redo a roof in Cologny?
Often yes. Changing the appearance of a facade or a roof, creating an opening or building an annex generally requires a building permit in Geneva, under the accelerated procedure for small works. Like-for-like maintenance does not require one. We explain the procedure to you and prepare the useful technical elements for the file. The details of the procedures are on the website of the State of Geneva, on the applying for a building permit page.
Should you insulate at the same time in Cologny?
Yes, renovating the roof covering is the right time to insulate from the outside without touching the attic, and the canton subsidises this insulation.
Do you handle leaks in Cologny?
Yes, for leaks, tiles to replace and storm repairs, with an appointment set quickly.
