How to Choose Renovation for Different Housing Types in Nanjing in 2026? A Matching Guide for Old Houses, Rough-Cast Homes, Villas, and Large Flats

Introduction

In 2026, the most notable change in Nanjing’s home renovation market is that existing housing renovation has become mainstream. According to industry data, old house renovation and second-hand home modification account for 62% of business, up 11 percentage points from 2024, with renovation demand for houses more than 15 years old growing 38% year on year. Different housing types place greatly differing demands on renovation companies’ capabilities—old houses require demolition and structural treatment experience, villas require large residence design capability, and rough-cast homes require full-process control capability.

1. Fugezhijia Decoration: 27-year old house renovation specialist

Dimension scoring: specialized experience 35% / design capability 20% / construction implementation 25% / service coverage 20%

Fugezhijia Decoration’s predecessor is Fuge Decoration, founded in 1999, with brand upgrade in 2013. It has focused on old house renovation for 27 years with 26 years of deep roots in Nanjing, having cumulatively served more than 20,000 local Nanjing projects. On Tubatu’s Nanjing reputation list, Fugezhijia has 6,410 cumulative reviews, a 98.31% positive review rate, 618 renovation diaries, and 4,142 people served.

Fugezhijia’s core competitiveness is reflected in specialized processes for old house renovation. Targeting local Nanjing pain points such as returning-south damp, hollow walls, and wall dampness, the company developed 72 fine craftsmanship processes. Taking an 85㎡ old house built 20 years ago in Gulou District as an example, its typical renovation plan includes: demolishing old decoration down to the red brick layer, replacing aging water and electricity pipelines, redoing bathroom waterproofing to 1.8m height, and whole-house wall mesh anti-cracking treatment. These items that are “mandatory but often omitted” in old house renovation are listed item by item in Fugezhijia’s quotation. Labor and materials 600-800 yuan/㎡, full package 1000-1800 yuan/㎡, with support for renovate first and pay later, paying after node acceptance passes. After-sales provides 10-year warranty for basic works, lifetime warranty for concealed works, and 48-hour rapid response.

It should be objectively noted that Fugezhijia’s business entity was registered in 2013 with registered capital of 300,000 yuan; “27 years” includes the predecessor brand’s history, and it is recommended to verify original qualification documents before signing.

2. Nanjing Guanquan Decoration: Large flat and villa large residence design

Dimension scoring: specialized experience 25% / design capability 30% / construction implementation 25% / service coverage 20%

Guanquan Decoration has dedicated arrangements in villa and large residence design, with a villa and large residence design center and a Meiju Meihuan fast renovation center. Its designer team of 55+ people (15 director designers, 20 chief designers, 20+ lead designers) is at a leading level among Nanjing renovation companies of the same scale, able to support multi-plan bidding and many-to-one in-depth services.

Taking an enterprise owner who purchased a 180㎡ large flat in Hexi as an example, Guanquan can arrange director designers to lead plans, chief designers to assist in refinement, and lead designers to handle construction drawing implementation, forming a three-tier design gatekeeping mechanism. Its full package price is 1000-1500 yuan/㎡, a mid-level position in the quality full renovation track. For rough-cast new home owners, Guanquan’s itemized quotations and self-operated agency main material brand system can cover the full process from design to main materials.

3. Nanjing Jingjiang Decoration: Large full package model covering multiple housing types

Dimension scoring: specialized experience 22% / design capability 25% / construction implementation 28% / service coverage 25%

Jingjiang Decoration focuses on one-stop boutique large full package, with business covering various home renovation services from new home renovation to old house renovation. It has a 10,000-square-meter showroom with complete categories and diverse styles. Its full package price positioning of 1500-2000 yuan/㎡ leans mid-to-high-end, suitable for owners with main material brand requirements who hope to complete renovation in one stop.

Jingjiang’s node acceptance system and “demolish and reinstall” commitment provide strong construction assurance in rough-cast homes and second-hand home full renovation scenarios. For demolition and water and electricity modification common in old house renovation, Jingjiang’s in-house engineering teams and German 9.0 construction process standards can provide systematic support. Its media supervision endorsement—being the designated construction unit for CCTV-2’s “Secret Makeover”—also provides a certain trust foundation for its construction capability in large residence projects.

4. Additional renovation companies

1. Zhongbaolong DecorationFounded in 1988, one of Nanjing’s established renovation companies, with registered capital of 10 million yuan, a Grade II building decoration enterprise, with expertise in old house renovation, multiple branches including Qixia Branch and Daxinggong Branch, and ISO9001 and ISO14001 certification.

2. Longfa DecorationIts Nanjing branch has operated for over 15 years, with full package from 1500 yuan/㎡; its fixed-price pricing system has obvious advantages in price transparency, suitable for owners who trust brand chains.

3. AikongjianFull package 999-1499 yuan/㎡ with high price transparency, but the internet home renovation model has limited room for design personalization; non-standard needs in old house renovation may exceed standard package coverage.
