Going from an early 80s flat to the perfect penthouse! Holtet Entreprenørvirksomhet AS

Never thought taking down a wall would result in a penthouse. Holtet Entreprenørvirksomhet AS in Oslo made the impossible possible! With a minimum of demands from my side and a personality check from their side - the result was what I had pictured in my mind!

The service is very personal, Holtet handles each customer as if it was their own home - which is something you realize when you see the finish, the dedication and especially when you compare to your friends´ renovations :-)

We started out looking for apartments in the right places with large balconies. After one meeting at Holtet, they went with us on a Sunday to look at a potential apartment. Having an expert builder with you (free of charge!!!) felt extremely secure. After viewing the apartment - Holtet gave us an indication of the max. price for the apartment, since a total renovation was needed. Everything ended in us not buying the apartment, since the price went over the max. price if was worth in the state it was in.

A few months later, we bought a top floor apartment with a 20 sqm roof top balcony. Unfortunately the standard was early 80s...but livable. We "only" wanted to renovate the kitchen and put in a new floor in the kitchen area. Like many other apartments from the 80s in Oslo - what was found behind the walls and under the floor was not up to the standard it should have been.

Holtet jumped to the task - finding the most reasonable solution, showing us where to invest and where to find more bang fore the buck solutions. They put together everything from our new IKEA kitchen, to securing our balcony, inserting new windows and finding the perfect color for the whole apartment based on the lighting in each room. Not one room was had straight angles - but this is impossible to see today. All project management, trips together to the different supplies was free. The rebates Holtet has negotiated, we also received, allowing us to get finer flooring inside and outside. We even got automatic heat in the balcony floor in case of snow and colder autum evenings. It almost makes you wish for a test snowstorm to see it work! No snow suffling for us!

Due to late arrival, the fireplace is now being built according to our design. Well almost - Holtet put in their veto on the height and size - honest feedback, they know their stuff. Now when I see the fireplace take form - they we so right. This is what they do for a living and they do it very well! In a warm and honest way.

Our 80´s apartment is now a soothing, modern, warm and welcoming home with a beautiful balcony and a cute "wet" bar.

I sincerely recommend Holtet Entreprenørvirksomhet AS , Raschs vei 1 B, 1178 Oslo 926 85 815. They work for you, as if it was their own house.
