Apartment renovation in Jaffa
Jaffa mixes old stone houses with high ceilings, 1950s–70s housing blocks and new projects by the sea. The sea air is the common thread: dark grout, peeling bathroom paint and floors that need to handle water.

Short answer
In Jaffa we mostly regrout and repaint damp-prone bathrooms (once the cause is fixed), install waterproof SPC floors (₪150–₪260 per m² installed), repair walls (₪250–₪500 per patch) and repaint whole apartments (₪3,500–₪5,000 for a 3-room), all VAT included.

What the buildings are like
Jaffa is really several areas. Old Jaffa and Ajami have old stone buildings with thick walls, arches and high ceilings. Around the flea market and Yefet Street there are older low buildings, many already renovated. Southern Jaffa has many 1950s–70s housing blocks, and new projects keep going up along the coast and Jerusalem Boulevard.
- Old stone houses: thick walls, high ceilings and uneven surfaces that need careful prep before paint.
- 1950s–70s blocks: three to four storeys, original tile floors, small bathrooms.
- New buildings: mainly touch-ups, small repairs and fixture swaps.
Typical jobs in Jaffa
- Bathroom regrouting and repainting after a plumber or waterproofing specialist has fixed the cause of damp.
- Waterproof SPC floors, often over existing tile when it is sound and level.
- Wall and ceiling repairs in older plaster, then a full repaint.
- Faucet and sink swaps in older kitchens and bathrooms.
- Leaks and waterproofing are not something we do. We tell you honestly if the cause has to be fixed first.
Access, parking and noise
- Old Jaffa’s lanes are narrow and partly pedestrian; the flea-market streets are busiest on Fridays. We plan deliveries for quieter hours.
- Parking near the sea and the old city is limited. Tell us where a van can stop.
- Old Jaffa is a conservation area: anything on the façade, windows or roof needs approval. Cosmetic work inside the apartment is usually straightforward.
- Humidity affects drying times for paint and grout. We schedule coats accordingly.
- Noise: noisy work in residential buildings is allowed 07:00–20:00 on weekdays and until 17:00 on the eve of Shabbat and holidays, never on Shabbat or holidays. We work Sunday–Thursday 8:00–19:00 and Friday 8:00–14:00.
