Frequently asked questions
Permits and community
What permit does a terrace renovation need?
It depends on the scope (waterproofing, pergolas, railings). We define it after the visit and coordinate with the residents' association.
How do you manage neighbour coexistence?
Protections, agreed schedules and storage/removal plan. Communication before each phase.
Technical and warranties
What warranty does the waterproofing offer?
Written warranty according to the system installed and recommended maintenance. Includes on-site watertightness test.
Can natural wood be used?
Yes, but it requires more maintenance. For low maintenance we recommend encapsulated composite decking.
Structure and timelines
What about the weight of pergolas/planters?
We analyse loads and distribute weight. We use lightweight and floating systems where applicable, with technical support.
How long does the work take?
Depending on m² and substrate condition. We work in phases and keep walkable areas available whenever possible.
