Patricia

Lisbon, May 2026

I hired Matt for plastering and painting in my place. He communicated really well, showed up when he said he would, and was very professional, energetic, and helpful. The plastering could have been more finessed - some spots weren’t as flat as I expected - but overall, he’s skilled and solved issues as they came up. Price felt fair, maybe even on the cheap side, and though he later mentioned he had under-budgeted, he never made it awkward or asked for more.

I recently had my bathroom renovated by Tomas from NGTEC - House Renovation, and overall, I'm quite pleased with the outcome. Communication was a breeze; they were always helpful and attentive to my needs. The quality of construction is impressive, with top-notch materials used throughout, from the toilet and sink to the flooring. Despite the excellent service quality, there was a bit of a snag with timing as they finished a week later than planned. Nevertheless, throughout the process, Tomas and his team remained kind and respectful. I would recommend their services but suggest factoring in some extra time for completion just in case.

I hired Matt for a leak on the ceiling and he came and fixed everything, and everything was great. He had given me a price, then after opening up the work his colleague recommended a better product that was more expensive, but they covered that, and since it hasn’t rained yet I’ll see how it holds up. Overall, happy with the service and would highly recommend.

Frequently Asked Questions

What expats want to know before hiring drywall contractors in Lisbon.

Are there English-speaking drywall contractors in Lisbon?
Yes, and more do as the expat community grows. The hard part is knowing who is reliable before you book, so every one we list is reviewed by other expats who have actually used them.
What should I check before hiring drywall contractors in Lisbon?
Read recent reviews, be clear about exactly what you need, and agree the scope and an estimate in writing before any work starts. For anything regulated, check they hold the right credentials for the job.
What is the most important thing to know before booking?
Be clear about what you want and get the price and scope agreed up front, so there are no surprises. Reading other expats' reviews is the quickest way to find someone who does the job well and communicates clearly.
What should I avoid when hiring drywall contractors in Lisbon?
Avoid paying the full amount up front (a deposit can be fair), anyone who will not give a clear quote, and unusually cheap prices that get padded with extras later.
How do I explain what I need if my Portuguese is limited?
A photo, a short video or a written list does most of the talking, and the professionals we list are used to international clients. Booking an English-speaking one takes the stress out of it entirely.
How do you say drywall contractors in Portuguese?
In Portuguese, drywall contractors are usually called aplicadores de pladur. That is the word to search for or to ask a neighbour, though many professionals here are used to the English term too.
How do I find drywall contractors I can trust in Lisbon?
Check the reviews and any credentials before you book. On Locallista the reviews are phone-verified and the ranking is based on real expat experience, not who paid the most.
