For preventative maintenance in non-resident owner apartments, we schedule in April and May before the high season. Avoiding the June rush. The difference between scheduling in advance and waiting for an emergency is real; in August, local technicians are at their limit. Solid wood is the traditional option, robust, restorable, and durable. Its drawback is seasonal movement due to humidity: in humid summers, it absorbs water and swells; in dry winters, it contracts. This can cause some doors to rub against the frame in July-August and show a visible gap in January-February. This isn't an issue for homes occupied year-round in areas with stable humidity. However, for holiday homes with long periods closed or intermittent heating, the movement is more noticeable. Typical seasonal movement of solid wood due to humidity. We adjust the hinges or plane down 1-2 mm in the rubbing area to level it all year round.

A modern, well-installed interior door noticeably changes the feel of a room. An old 80s painted solid wood door, with worn hinges that scrape the floor and a loose handle, immediately lowers the perceived quality of the space. Replacing it with a modern lacquered MDF or multi-laminated door with adjustable concealed hinges and a quality handle costs a reasonable amount and will last another 30-40 years without seasonal movement or the need for periodic varnishing. Changing handles is the most cost-effective aesthetic upgrade. A new, good quality handle (chrome-plated or lacquered steel) changes the perception of the door and lasts 20-30 years without problems. For bathrooms and bedrooms, simple internal locking handles. For external doors leading to a patio or terrace, we recommend a quality cylinder lock if there is a risk of intrusion. The most common question we get from customers with damaged furniture is whether it's worth repairing or if it's better to buy new. The answer depends on three factors: sentimental value of the furniture, original manufacturing quality, and repair cost versus a new equivalent. For economic range furniture from IKEA, Conforama, and similar brands, where the price of a new table or chair is reasonable, repair rarely pays off except in very simple, specific cases. For mid-to-high-end furniture, inherited antiques, or items with sentimental value, repair almost always makes sense. Replacing them with solid wood equivalents is much more expensive, and the original furniture often has a manufacturing quality no longer found in new production.

The price for interior doors in La Maternitat i Sant Ramon typically ranges between €116 and €2260. The final figure depends on the property's condition, materials, and labour time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. The second factor to consider is the technical complexity of the repair. A piece of furniture with unglued joints, loose screws, or broken fittings is easy and quick for us to repair. A piece of furniture with a water-damaged wooden structure or peeling veneer over large areas requires complex intervention that can approach the cost of a new equivalent piece of furniture. In such cases, we will inform you so you can make an informed decision. Broken or loose handles and pulls are a quick fix. Replacing them with new pulls of the same style or an updated one can visually transform an entire piece of furniture at a reasonable cost.
