Frequently asked questions

Can a leaky balcony only be repaired selectively?

For small local damage, sometimes yes. If there are systemic weaknesses, a holistic rebuild is usually more sustainable.

How quickly should I react?

As early as possible. In this way, consequential damage to adjacent building structures can often be significantly reduced.

Are color requests possible despite renovation?

Yes. After technical clarification, the surface can be coordinated in terms of design.
