Therefore, in this article, we will explain the service overview, reviews, advantages and disadvantages, and average prices to help you understand Renoberu's features.
This article will give you all the details about the renovation, so please read to the end.

"I won the Renoberu Photo Festival and received a lot of bread ٩(>ω<*)و It's the best... I'll eat it little by little."

"I'm looking to buy a house, and Renoberu's 5 major criteria for finding a home - size, distance from station, price, age of building, and area - were very helpful."
Quote: X (formerly Twitter)
"It was quite chaotic to work at a startup while also changing things up and moving to a new apartment and buying and renovating it, but we ended up with a home that we love. We asked Renoberu of Shonan to do the renovation. We did a skeleton renovation of the house of my previous roommate, and I was so happy when we put the furniture in."
Quote: X (formerly Twitter)
“Renoberu's articles are always great, but this time too, the owner is renovating a used apartment to create a sauna. The owner is so stylish.”
Quote: X (formerly Twitter)
There are many reviews from satisfied customers, including about the customer service attitude and suggestions for a home that they can grow to love.
The company's strengths in one-stop renovation have been recognized, and its track record of awards has increased its credibility.
Bad reviews and reputation
Check out the rest of the negative reviews.
"I wonder if there's a place that will buy a used property (in a rural area) from the Vacant House Bank and renovate it? I've been turned down by renovation companies because they don't operate in the countryside... Who should I consult with?"
Quote: X (formerly Twitter)
"I used Renoberu in Sapporo, but since there are cases where rival companies write bad reviews on these sites, I think it's best to ask the person in charge directly and take notes on everything. In my case, the person in charge advised me to keep a record together because many complaints about construction are "said but not said," so I trusted him and signed the contract. I think it's best to ask the person in charge about anything you're unsure about and keep a record."

Although they have showrooms all over the country, there are cases where they are forced to turn down customers in some rural areas.
The benefits of renovating
Here are some specific benefits of renovating:
1. One-stop renovation to reduce time and effort
Renoberu's strength is its one-stop renovation service, which significantly reduces the hassle of renovation.
One-stop renovation refers to a service model in which everything is handled through a single company.
Normally, three parties - a real estate agent (real estate contractor), construction company, and design and planning (architectural office) - are involved in the process, but a major benefit of this one-stop service is the reduction of hassle.
For example, when renovating, there are integrated loans that cover both the cost of purchasing a used house or condominium and the cost of renovating it, with the same interest rate and period.
2. Realizing the ideals of each individual through creative design
At Renoberu, we offer elegant and beautifully renovated properties that are unlike any other.
For example, we have carried out renovations that blend in the culture of Finland, which is known as a sauna powerhouse.
We have picked up on the needs of people both in Japan and overseas, such as "it's difficult to travel, it would be nice to be able to refresh at home whenever you want," and are making proposals that combine a high-quality Nordic space with sauna culture.
We put your requests first and, based on suggestions from our renovation team, we will help you realize your ideal living space.

3. Peace of mind from the number of contracts for compliant renovated homes (R homes)
When renovating, the main concern is whether the home is of high quality that can be guaranteed by professionals.
There is a certification standard called compliant renovated housing (R housing), and Renoberu has a proven track record.
An R house is a house that follows the flow of "inspection → construction → report" + "warranty + house history information" established by the Renovation Council.
Renoberu holds the record for the most "R Housing" issuances in the contracting division, with 299 cases (*1).
If you want to entrust your project to a renovation contractor that meets safety standards, Renoberu will also provide you with peace of mind.

Disadvantages of Renovating
There are not only advantages but also some disadvantages. Let's check out three disadvantages along with the advantages.
1. If you are particular about the details, the cost will not be cheap.
Because Renoberu provides meticulous renovations, it may not be suitable for those looking for cheap or affordable construction work.
For reference, the average price for a full renovation at Renoberu is from 8.5 million yen (tax included) for 40 to 49 m2, and from 10.5 million yen (tax included) for 60 to 69 m2.
Some renovation companies will take on the job for less than 10 million yen, so this can be a concern for those who are price-conscious.
However, the reason why other contractors are cheaper is often because they were able to lower the price for individual reasons, such as dealing with a familiar contractor, so it is not just renovations that are expensive.
2. Construction takes time
When renovating, Renoberu does not prioritize delivery as quickly as possible.
Although we make every effort to reduce delays by using a team structure, we also place more importance on quality than speed, including listening to customers and coordinating between contractors.
From the time the property is decided until handover, the renovation process takes 4 to 6 months.
On the other hand, there are some renovation companies that can finish work quickly, in just 1 to 4 months.
Therefore, if you want to move in as soon as possible, the renovation construction period may seem long.
However, the difference in construction time is not noticeable when compared to other companies, so it is not a major disadvantage.
3. It's difficult to compare multiple companies at the same time
I think there are many people who want to compare and consider multiple renovation companies.
However, in the case of Renoberu, you will pay a flat application fee of 100,000 yen.
Of course, if you do not sign the contract, you will receive a full refund, so it is not a throw-away payment.
However, the initial cost is a disadvantage for those who want to visit the property for future reference.
On the other hand, the initial fee in the real estate industry is 5 to 20% of the purchase price, so some people think that 100,000 yen is not a high amount in comparison.
Renovation Fees
At Renoberu, we propose renovation fees in three price levels: low, medium, and high.
- Low: Want to keep your budget to a minimum
- Center: A traditional space is fine.
- High: Carefully crafted design renovation
The above is just one example, but in the kitchen, the price can increase depending on your requests, from a layout that makes use of existing products to a custom-made all-stainless steel design with a dishwasher, etc.
Also, the prices below are the average prices for renovation.
Example of Tokyo
- Up to 50㎡: 7 to 12 million yen
- 60-70㎡: 10-16 million yen
- 70-80㎡: 12-18 million yen
Example of Osaka Prefecture
- Up to 50㎡: 7 to 10 million yen
- 60-70㎡: 8.7 million to 12 million yen
- 70 to 80 m2: 10 million yen to 16 million yen
The above is only a guideline, and the type of plan you choose will determine whether it is low, medium, or high price.
Renovation fees at Renoberu vary depending on the region, such as Tokyo or Osaka.
We also plan appropriately to ensure that budgets are not overstretched.
summary
This time, we introduced the reputation and features of Renoberu.
There were many factors that made us want to choose this company as a candidate, including their numerous awards and track record of building many high-quality, compliant homes.
We also do not compromise when proposing your ideal home, such as reducing the burden with one-stop renovation and carefully listening to your requests.
