Why Gdansk homes get this: PRL-era apartment stock in Przymorze, Zaspa, and Brzeźno generates steady demand for tile repair, damp-proofing, fixture replacement, and minor plumbing work. The post-2022 Ukrainian and Russian-speaking inflow has driven a sustained renovation wave in mid-tier districts, with families upgrading newly purchased apartments. Russian-speaking handymen are increasingly in demand and command a modest premium in the established expat corridors.
