The context in Genthod

Genthod lies on the right bank of the lake, between Bellevue and Versoix, and brings together an old village with protected buildings and villa districts facing the shore. The properties, often spacious and wooded, come with high expectations regarding execution.

Renders and painting in Genthod

High-pressure cleaning, crack repairs, scraped or floated finishing render, mineral or siloxane paint.

The colours are approved with the municipality if necessary.

External wall insulation

Insulating panels glued and anchored, reinforcement mesh, finishing render and new window sills for an insulated facade.

The canton subsidises this insulation.

Repairs and concrete

Reworking of concrete spalls, rebar treatment, plinths and balconies.

The sheet metal work is adapted to the new thickness.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions in Genthod

How long does renovating a villa facade in Genthod take?

Three to six weeks depending on the surface and the insulation, scaffolding included. The quote describes each item, the planned duration and what is not included.

Is a permit needed to renovate a facade in Genthod?

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 tell you the procedure 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.

Can a villa facade be insulated in Genthod?

Yes, with external insulation under render, a permit under the accelerated procedure and a cantonal subsidy.

Which paint for a facade in Genthod?

A mineral or siloxane paint that lets the render breathe and resists rain, in a colour that suits the neighbourhood.
