Kitchen renovation — Puglia
A new kitchen, systems to code, one single site coordinating everything.
The kitchen is the job where building work and furniture must talk to each other. We prepare the room, move systems and drains, lay floors and wall coverings, and synchronise the fitting of the units with the end of the works: no month of waiting between the site finishing and the kitchen going in.
Indicative price: From 300 to 600 €/sqm of floor area for building works only, furniture excluded
Completed projects
Kitchen in a restored masseria
Ceglie MessapicaA kitchen made for gathering, with exposed stone walls, an eight-seat table and a solid timber island. Services integrated without touching the historic masonry.
How the work is done
Phase 1 — Design and survey
In every townThe kitchen first: layout, function, appliances. Then the survey and the exact dimensions the trades and tilers will work from.
Building works included
Demolition, knocking through partitions where needed, repositioning of gas, water, drains and electricity, screed, flooring, wall coverings, dropped ceiling with lighting, painting.
Coordination with the interior designer
Accurate measurement survey, direct dialogue with the furniture supplier, compatible dates, and provision for sockets, extraction and lights exactly where they are needed.
Kitchens in historic homes
In historic centres, trulli and masserie the kitchen fits into non-standard spaces: bespoke solutions that respect vaults, stone and lime plaster.
Why choose us — Kitchen renovation
The kitchen is the heart of the home: it is where most time is spent, where guests stop to chat, where every detail — a socket in the right place, well-positioned lighting — is noticed every day. Renovating it well means thinking first about how you will use it, and only then about how it will look.
The critical point of every kitchen is the coordination between building works and furniture: the units must be ordered before starting, the measurements must be certain, the services must arrive exactly where they are needed. When this chain works, installation takes a day and everything falls into place; when it breaks, you get weeks of waiting and costly remedial work.
We work with your interior designer or recommend one from the area: either way we take care of the survey, the dates and the final fine-tuning, so that the new kitchen fits into a home that is already ready.
How we work, step by step
1. Furniture design
Furniture first: layout, function, appliances. From here come the precise surveys for the building works.
2. Technical site visit
We check walls, existing systems, gas, water, drains and lighting points. We define what to move and what to keep.
3. Demolition
Stripping out the old kitchen, opening or closing partitions where needed, preparing the surfaces.
4. Systems
Water, gas, drains and electrical work positioned exactly according to the furniture design: sockets, extraction, lighting.
5. Floors and walls
Screed, floor laying, wall coverings, false ceilings and painting.
6. Fitting the furniture
Coordinated with the supplier: installation, connections, testing of every appliance.
7. Fine-tuning
Adjustments, sealing, a final check with you and handover with warranty on the fitting.
An open kitchen in a historic centre
A couple in Monopoli wanted to open the kitchen onto the living room in a historic-centre flat, with a wall that could only be partially removed.
We consolidated the opening with a lintel, moved the drain and the electricals, laid large-format porcelain stoneware and coordinated the installation of a bespoke kitchen in wood and stone. The result looks as if it has always been there: and the build took five weeks.

Frequently asked questions
+Do you also fit the kitchen units?
We coordinate the fitting with your chosen supplier; the fitting itself is usually included in the furniture contract.
+How long does the site take?
3-6 weeks for a complete kitchen, depending on demolition and system relocation.
+When should the kitchen units be ordered?
Before the building works begin: production times reach 4-8 weeks and the final measurements are needed to prepare systems and floors without errors.
+Can you fit a kitchen in a home with vaults and stone?
Yes: bespoke solutions that respect the geometry of the rooms, with systems integrated reversibly where needed.
+Who fits the furniture?
Installation is normally included in the furnishing contract; we coordinate times, connections and the final test together with the supplier.
+Is an open kitchen worth it?
It depends on the space and your habits: during the site visit we assess structural feasibility, the cost of the works and ventilation before advising you.

Answers to the most common questions about costs, timelines and permits for Kitchen renovation. If your question is missing, write to us: we always reply.
What happens after you request a quote
Many clients ask us what happens after the first call. The answer is simple and always the same. Within one working day we call you back to understand the work, your priorities and the timeline you have in mind. Then we arrange the free site survey in your town: it is the most important appointment, because that is where ideas turn into real numbers. Measuring, photographs, listening: no serious quote is ever written without having seen the house.
Within a week of the survey you receive a detailed quote, itemised line by line, with materials, timelines and a work schedule. If you decide to go ahead, we handle everything: contract, permits, opening the site, documented progress, stage inspections and final handover. At every moment you know who to call, what is happening and how much is left. That is what we mean by working without surprises: not the promise of a perfect result, but the certainty of a clear process.
Our commitments, always
Free quote, no obligation
The survey and the quote are free of charge: if it is not for you, you owe nothing. That is how every relationship of trust begins.
One contact person
A single person follows your project from start to finish, knows every detail and picks up the phone when you need it.
Materials declared
Brand and model of every material are listed in the quote: you know exactly what comes into your home, with no surprises on site.
Aftercare
The warranty is only the beginning: we remain your point of reference for maintenance and any future work on the house.
+How much does it cost to start a renovation project?
The site survey and the quote are free of charge and without obligation. Design and permit costs start from 800-3,000 euros depending on complexity, and are always listed separately in the final quote.
+How long between the first call and the start of works?
On average four to six weeks: one or two for the quote, two to four for design and permits. Small jobs can move faster; restorations with restrictions need longer technical timescales.
+How are payments handled?
Through verifiable stage payments: every payment matches a completed and documented phase, with photographs. No disproportionate deposit before work begins.
+What guarantees do you offer?
Ten-year structural warranty, two years on workmanship defects, system compliance certificates at handover and full documentation delivered with the keys.
+Do you work with clients living abroad?
Yes, it is a large part of our work: weekly photo and video updates, progress video calls, quotes in English and one contact person managing the whole process.
+Can I choose my own materials and suppliers?
Of course. We prepare the schedule with exact quantities and work with your preferred suppliers, or recommend local ones we have worked with for years: the choice is always yours.
