Every project tells a story. See the before, the process, and the reveal — across kitchens, bathrooms, living spaces, pools, and full villa renovations in Dubai's best communities.
across DAMAC Hills and DAMAC Hills 2.
DAMAC Hills is one of Dubai's most established master-planned communities, developed by DAMAC Properties around the Trump International Golf Club. With a mix of villas, townhouses and apartments set across manicured fairways and parklands, it has become home to thousands of families who value space, greenery and community living. The neighbouring DAMAC Hills 2 offers more affordable villa options while maintaining the same resort-style lifestyle, making both communities significant sources of renovation demand across the UAE.
Villas in DAMAC Hills range from compact three-bedroom townhouses to expansive six-bedroom estates, each with varying levels of developer-standard finishes. As many of these properties are now five to eight years old, homeowners are increasingly looking to refresh kitchens, bathrooms and living spaces that have started to show their age. The community's HOA, managed by DAMAC, requires approval for any external modifications including facade changes, garden structures, pool additions and boundary wall alterations. Our team has navigated these approval processes across 18 projects and maintains familiarity with the specific requirements and timelines involved.
The most popular upgrades in DAMAC Hills reflect the community's family-oriented character. Kitchen renovations dominate — homeowners want larger islands, better storage solutions and premium appliances to support the entertaining lifestyle that comes with villa living. Bathroom upgrades are a close second, with many residents replacing builder-grade sanitaryware and tiles with designer fixtures, walk-in showers and freestanding baths. Swimming pool construction remains consistently popular, particularly among villas with larger plots that face the golf course. Outdoor living — pergolas, barbecue areas, landscaping and lighting — rounds out the most requested services, as residents seek to maximise their garden spaces for year-round use.
