The Kingdom’s summer retreat
Home renovation and finishing in Taif
Taif has mild summers and is where Hijazi families escape the heat, so it has many older family homes, rest houses and summer homes that aren’t lived in all year. Many need renovating before the summer season or after years closed up.
With SaudiRenovation you describe your home and the scope once, and your request reaches renovation and finishing companies serving Taif, who contact you with offers.
Homes in Taif
The older central districts have family houses more than thirty years old, some built of stone, whose wiring and plumbing no longer meet today’s needs. Newer districts such as Al Shafa and Al Hawiyah have newer villas and flats that usually need only refreshed finishes.
Summer homes and rest houses in Al Hada and Al Shafa stay closed for months, so damp, smells and damaged timber appear, and they need a thorough survey before any cosmetic work.
For stone houses or homes with heritage parts, choose a company experienced with these materials, because modern renders and paints don’t suit every old wall.
The climate and its effect on homes
Taif gets more rain than the central cities, especially on the heights, so roof waterproofing and correct falls and drains are among the most important renovation works. A roof that holds water after rain lets it seep into ceilings and walls over time.
Cooler winters make thermal insulation and well-sealed windows and doors as useful in winter as in summer.
Fog and humidity on the heights encourage mould in bathrooms and closed rooms, so look after ventilation and extractor fans and choose moisture-resistant paints for bathrooms and kitchens.
Most requested renovation work
Taif sees strong demand for waterproofing and leak repair before the rains, full renovation of older homes, renewing stone facades and exterior paint, and getting summer homes ready before the season.
Many families like Hijazi character in the majlis — timber rawasheen screens and calm ornament — with a modern kitchen and practical bathrooms.
