Renovating in your Tel Aviv neighbourhood
Tel Aviv-Yafo is one city with very different buildings. A 1930s walk-up in Lev Ha’ir, a 1970s block in Ramat Aviv and a stone house in Jaffa need different planning. Here is what we usually find in each area, and what it means for your job.

Short answer
We work in every Tel Aviv-Yafo neighbourhood at the same published prices: flooring ₪150–₪260 per m², a full 2-room repaint ₪2,500–₪3,500, crack or hole repairs ₪250–₪500, regrouting ₪40–₪70 per m², VAT included. What changes between neighbourhoods is the building: its age, stairs, parking and conservation rules.

Old North (HaTzafon HaYashan)
Mostly three- and four-storey buildings from the 1930s to the 1960s, many on pillars, many without an elevator, and a lot of long-term rentals. Typical jobs: new floors over original tile, wall and ceiling crack repairs, bathroom regrouting and end-of-lease repaints.
Plan for stairs and street parking. Tell us the floor when you message us.
Lev Ha’ir and the White City
The historic centre around Rothschild, Allenby and Sheinkin, with many International Style (Bauhaus) buildings, some of them listed for conservation. Cosmetic work inside the apartment is usually straightforward. Anything on the façade, windows or balconies, and in listed buildings, needs approval first.
Typical jobs: careful wall prep before painting, floors over old tile, faucet and fixture swaps.
Florentin
Older mixed residential and workshop streets, with many rentals and frequent tenant turnover. Typical jobs: move-out repairs, end-of-lease repaints, patching holes from shelves and TV mounts, and tenant prep for landlords.
See move-out repairs and the deposit checklist.
Neve Tzedek and Kerem HaTeimanim
Some of the oldest streets in Tel Aviv: low-rise houses, narrow lanes and many renovated or conserved buildings. Access is the main planning point: narrow streets, limited parking and sometimes no room for a large delivery.
Typical jobs: painting, small repairs and floors in apartments that have already had their structural work done.
Jaffa (Yafo)
A mix of old stone buildings with high ceilings and arches, 1950s–70s blocks and new projects. Close to the sea, humidity is the recurring issue: dark grout, peeling paint in bathrooms, floors that do not like water.
Typical jobs: regrouting, waterproof SPC floors, repainting after the cause of damp has been fixed. Leaks and waterproofing need a specialist first.
Ramat Aviv
North of the Yarkon: 1960s–70s apartment blocks and newer towers, many families and owner-occupiers. Apartments are often larger, so per-m² prices matter more.
Typical jobs: full repaints of 3–5 room apartments (₪3,500–₪5,000 for a 3-room, ₪6,500–₪8,500 for a 5-room), new floors and bathroom refreshes.
Yad Eliyahu and the south-east
1950s–60s housing blocks, many of them rentals, with some buildings going through TAMA 38 or urban renewal. Typical jobs: tenant prep, move-out repairs, wall repairs and repaints.
If your building is in a TAMA 38 project, coordinate timing with the va’ad bayit so your work does not clash with the building works.
