Apartment renovation in the Old North
The Old North is three- and four-storey buildings from the 1930s to the 1960s, many on pillars, many without an elevator, a lot of them now in TAMA 38 projects. The flats are full of original tile, old anchor holes and decades of paint.

Short answer
In the Old North we mostly lay new floors over original tile (₪150–₪260 per m² installed; ₪7,500–₪9,500 for 4 mm SPC in a 2-room), repaint 3- and 4-room apartments (₪3,500–₪5,000 and ₪5,000–₪6,500), patch cracks (₪250–₪500) and regrout bathrooms (₪40–₪70 per m²), VAT included.

What the buildings are like
Between the beach, Ibn Gvirol and the Yarkon, most streets are lined with modest apartment buildings from the 1930s to the 1960s: three or four storeys, often raised on pillars, with balconies and small stairwells. Many have added floors and elevators through TAMA 38, and some are being rebuilt entirely.
- Original floors: ceramic or terrazzo-style tile that is cold, worn or stained, and often sound enough to cover.
- Walls: hairline cracks, old patches and layers of paint that show through a quick repaint.
- Bathrooms: small, with dark grout and older faucets.
Typical jobs in Old North
- New SPC, laminate or parquet over the original tile, without demolition when the tile allows.
- Full repaints of 3- and 4-room apartments, with proper prep on older walls.
- Crack and ceiling repairs before paint.
- Bathroom regrouting and faucet swaps.
- End-of-lease repairs for the many long-term rentals in the area.
Access, parking and noise
- Many buildings have no elevator, or a very small one. Tell us the floor so we can plan.
- Street parking is scarce and mostly for residents. A loading spot for an hour makes the day much easier.
- If your building or the one next door is in a TAMA 38 project, coordinate dates with the va’ad bayit so work does not clash.
- 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.
