Practical advice for upgrading your home – from plastering and painting to roof repairs. Backed by experienced tradespeople.
The Home Renovation Incentive closed in 2018. It allowed tax relief on renovations (€4,405–€30,000 spend, 13.5% VAT) but is no longer available.
Always check Revenue.ie orCitizens Information for current grants.
Prioritise essential repairs (roof, plumbing) before cosmetic work (painting, decorating). Get multiple quotes.
Even without HRI, hiring a registered contractor ensures quality and possible future grant eligibility. Always ask for VAT receipts.
Kitchens, bathrooms, and curb appeal (power washing, external installations) add the most value.
Renovations take time. Start with the messiest jobs (dry lining, plastering) before decorating.
