The state of home services in Yerevan
Yerevan's home services market is dominated by informal referral networks. Most people find a plumber or electrician through a neighbour or relative β there is no established, trusted platform where you can see reviews, verify credentials, or pay safely.
This creates real problems. Cash-only transactions with no receipt. No recourse if the work is wrong. No way to know if an electrician is actually qualified before they touch your wiring. And enormous variation in prices for the same work β from Φ4,000/hr to Φ20,000/hr with no signal of quality to justify the difference.
GeraHome does not operate in Armenia today. It is launching soon in the UK only. The identity checks, skills assessment and review screening described in this guide are its planned launch process β no provider has passed them yet and bookings are not open.

The apartment renovation market in Yerevan
Apartment renovation (ΩΩΨ³Ψ§Ψ²Ϋ in Armenian: ΥΎΥ₯ΦΥ‘ΥΆΥΈΦΥΈΥ£ΥΈΦΥ΄) is the most significant and most underserved sector of Yerevan's home services market.
The majority of Yerevan's housing stock consists of Soviet-era apartment buildings β Khrushchyovkas and Brezhnevkas β built between 1955 and 1985. These buildings have outdated plumbing (iron pipes that corrode and burst), aluminium wiring that does not meet modern electrical loads, poor insulation, and structural layouts designed for a different era.
A comprehensive apartment renovation in Yerevan typically covers: full electrical rewiring with modern copper cable, complete plumbing replacement with polypropylene pipes, new bathroom and kitchen fittings, plastering and painting throughout, flooring replacement, and window replacement.
Typical cost for a full 60mΒ² apartment renovation in Yerevan: Φ6,000,000βΦ15,000,000(approximately Β£12,000βΒ£30,000) depending on specification and materials chosen.
How to find trustworthy tradespeople in Yerevan
Use a verified platform where one exists. No verified home services platform operates in Armenia yet. GeraHome is launching soon in the UK only and lists no providers in Armenia today; its planned identity checks, skills assessment and review screening are not live.
Ask for a written quote. Always get the scope and price in writing before work starts β even if it is just a WhatsApp message. This creates a record if there is a dispute.
Never pay 100% upfront. A 30β50% deposit to cover materials is reasonable. Retain the balance until work is complete and you are satisfied.
Get multiple quotes. Price variation in Yerevan is enormous. For jobs over Φ50,000, get at least three quotes from different providers.
Check for Gera Services Passport. The Passport badge is a planned GeraHome launch feature and no provider holds one today.
