Altbau Enthusiast & Craftsman
Gergely Dancs
About Me
My name is Gergely Dancs. I am not just a handyman, but a true Altbau enthusiast. To me, an old Viennese wooden window is not a worthless relic to be replaced with plastic, but a piece of history with craftsmanship and character.
With a keen eye for detail, precision, and premium materials, I make sure your windows and doors not only shine again visually, but also protect perfectly against cold and noise through modern sealing technology. Honest, direct, and without subcontractors.
My Services
Routed Grooves & Retrofit Sealing
No more drafts and high heating costs. I rout a precise 3mm groove into the sash and install a durable silicone tube seal. Invisible, highly effective, and dramatically noise-reducing.
Premium Handyman & Painting
Fine interior painting, precise crack filling, and professional everyday installations (lamps, furniture, shelves). Everything from one source, no subcontractors, with absolute focus on cleanliness.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- How can I get a quote as quickly as possible?
- The easiest and fastest way is via WhatsApp or E-mail. Simply send me a few photos of the work to be done (e.g., the wall, the Altbau window, or the assembly task) along with a short description. In most cases, I can provide you with a fair fixed price (Pauschalpreis) immediately – ensuring no bad surprises or hidden costs.
- Will my apartment stay open or dirty during the restoration?
- Absolutely not! With classic Viennese box windows (double windows), I always remove only one layer (e.g. the inner sashes) while the other layer stays closed. Your home remains secure and weatherproof at all times. I also use professional dust extraction systems directly on my machines – sanding dust is captured immediately so your living space stays clean.
- What materials do you use for Altbau window and door restoration?
- For classic Viennese wooden windows and doors, I exclusively use high-quality, durable primers and lacquers from premium brands. Proper preparation (thorough sanding and patching) combined with professional materials guarantees that the wood is perfectly protected and looks brand new for years to come.
- Which districts in Vienna do you cover?
- I operate across the entire Vienna area. Since my expertise focuses on professional Altbau restoration and high-quality home maintenance, I am particularly active in districts with a high density of classic old buildings and family homes – such as the 1st district (Innere Stadt), 13th (Hietzing), 18th (Währing), or 19th (Döbling). However, thanks to flexible scheduling, short-notice appointments are possible all over Vienna.
