Renovation work you can request
When you describe a renovation job on Dohipa, the more precise your description is, the more useful the offers from local construction crews become. A request can cover a single room, a whole apartment or an outdoor area — the crews that respond work with many kinds of renovation and finishing tasks, from repainting walls to replacing floor coverings.
You do not need technical vocabulary. Plain everyday language works well: which rooms are involved, what the surfaces look like now, and what result you expect. A crew reads your description and replies with questions or a proposed approach, so the comparison of offers starts from the same baseline.
To see how requests travel from your description to comparable replies, read how comparing crew offers works. You can also return to the overview page at any time and submit a request from there.
Groups of work to describe
Most requests fit into a few broad groups. Pick the closest one and add the details you know.
Interior work
Indoor requests include painting walls and ceilings, installing or refreshing plaster, replacing doors, fitting wardrobes and other built-in carpentry, and updating kitchens or bathrooms. Describe the rooms, their approximate size and the condition of the surfaces; if you already know the materials you want, mention them by name.
Floors and surfaces
This group covers laying panels, tiles and vinyl flooring, sanding and varnishing wooden floors, and repairing screeds or substrates before a new covering goes on. It also includes tiling walls, regrouting and replacing silicone joints around showers and sinks.
Small repairs and finishing
Smaller tasks are welcome too: fixing cracks and dents in walls, adjusting doors that no longer close, patching paint after other work, or mounting shelves, radiator covers and lighting fixtures. A short, honest list of small jobs is often the fastest way to get replies, because many crews can fit it between larger projects.
Outdoor work
Outside the building, requests commonly include facade painting or refreshing, building terraces and decks, laying paving stones, erecting fences and small garden structures, and repairing outdoor stairs. Note the access to the site and whether materials are already on hand — both affect how a crew plans the visit.
How to describe your renovation request
These general questions come up often when people prepare a description. They are not tied to any particular project.
How detailed should the description be?
Detailed enough that a crew understands the scope without guessing. Rooms involved, the type of work, the current condition and your preferred timing are usually enough. Photographs help, but a clear written description is the starting point.
Can one request include several kinds of work?
Yes. A single request may combine, for example, painting with floor replacement and a few small repairs. List each task separately within the description so that crews can price the whole scope and you can compare complete offers rather than fragments.
Do I need to choose materials before requesting?
No. You can describe the result you want and let crews suggest materials, or you can name specific products if you already have them. Either way, state which approach you prefer so the offers are prepared consistently.
What happens after the request is sent?
Crews active in your area read the description and reply with their questions or proposals. You compare the replies side by side and continue the conversation with the crew that suits you. Details of the process are described on the process page.
