Hello, We are planning to put our apartment up for sale and therefore need to do painting and renovation to improve the appearance of the house. It is quite urgent for us. Is it permissible to do this during the Nine Days? Or not?

Hello 

It is not permissible to renovate and paint the house during the Nine Days
