"How much for a full house renovation?" is the number one question we get on WhatsApp — and the honest answer is it depends entirely on scope.
Here's how our project managers at KL Servis Rumah actually price a renovation, based on 2026 Klang Valley rates.
The three renovation tiers
1. Cosmetic refresh (RM 22,000 – RM 60,000 for a 3-bed condo)
- Full interior repaint (walls + ceilings).
- Skim-coat existing walls where cracked.
- Refresh silicone in bathrooms and kitchen.
- New downlights and fans.
- Deep clean handover.
Best for rental prep, resale, or a moving-in refresh.
2. Mid-range refit (RM 60,000 – RM 150,000 for a 3-bed condo, or RM 90,000 – RM 220,000 for a landed terrace)
- Everything from Tier 1, plus:
- New kitchen cabinets and countertop.
- Bathroom retiling with new sanitary ware.
- New flooring (SPC / vinyl / laminate).
- New wardrobes and built-in TV console.
- Electrical DB upgrade.
- Ceiling redesign with L-boxes and cove lighting.
Best for families moving in for the long haul.
3. Luxury / structural remodel (RM 180,000 – RM 500,000+)
- Everything from Tier 2, plus:
- Wall demolition and layout changes (with structural engineer sign-off).
- Full membrane waterproofing in every wet area.
- Premium tile, marble or engineered wood flooring.
- Custom carpentry throughout.
- Home automation (smart lighting, curtains, security).
- Full landscaping and exterior repaint.
Best for long-term family homes and premium condos.
Cost per sq ft by tier (Klang Valley 2026 average)
| Tier | Per sq ft |
|---|---|
| Cosmetic refresh | RM 20 – RM 45 |
| Mid-range refit | RM 80 – RM 160 |
| Luxury remodel | RM 180 – RM 400+ |
5 hidden costs most homeowners forget
- JMB deposits and permits — RM 500 to RM 3,000 depending on the condo/scheme.
- Debris disposal — RM 300 to RM 2,500 per lorry load.
- Temporary accommodation — if you can't live on-site during the works.
- Furniture storage — cheaper mid-project than replacing damaged items.
- Contingency reserve — always hold 10–15% for unexpected issues (rotten beams, hidden leaks, old wiring).
How KL Servis Rumah quotes a renovation
- Free WhatsApp scoping call — we ask for photos, floor plan and your rough wishlist.
- On-site inspection (RM 0) — measurement, condition assessment, discussion of options.
- Itemised written quote within 3 working days — each scope line priced separately so you choose what proceeds.
- Contract with milestone payments — 20% deposit, 30/30/20 milestones, final on handover.
- Handover + snag list + warranty certificate.
Every KL Servis Rumah renovation carries at least a 12-month workmanship warranty, with individual scope items covered by their specialist warranties (up to 5 years for waterproofing, 12 months for electrical, etc.).
