Landshövdingehus, special considerations
The landshövdingehus in Majorna, Kungsladugård and Olivedal have a wooden frame on top of a brick base and often require extra care with mullioned windows, old oil-based coats on trim and older interior panelling.
Add 15–25% more time than a modern apartment of the same size.
Wooden houses on Hisingen and in the archipelago
Wooden houses need exterior repainting every 8–12 years depending on exposure. Slamfärg (falu red) lasts longer but requires a careful maintenance plan.
For a 130 m² villa in Björlanda or Öckerö, exterior painting lands at 70,000–115,000 SEK after ROT, including scraping and priming.
