The context in Gy
In the east of the canton, between Jussy and the border, Gy is among the smallest Geneva municipalities, set among fields and woods. Farms, old houses and a few villas make up most of the buildings, concentrated in the village. Projects remain modest and concern the upkeep and transformation of rural buildings.
Renders and painting in Gy
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 Gy
How long does renovating a villa facade in Gy take?
Three to six weeks depending on the surface and the insulation, scaffolding included. The quote details the items and the planned duration and specifies what is not included.
Is a permit needed to renovate a facade in Gy?
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. The procedure is explained to you and we 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 Gy?
Yes, with external insulation under render, a permit under the accelerated procedure and a cantonal subsidy.
Which paint for a facade in Gy?
A mineral or siloxane paint that lets the render breathe and resists rain, in a colour that suits the neighbourhood.
