Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We do furniture restoration in El Besòs i el Maresme. We visit the property, assess the job, give you a clear price, and get started. Many people say painting is easy. It's true, anyone can pick up a roller. The difference between an amateur and a professional result lies in the pre- and post-steps that amateurs skip. Covering furniture, floors, and skirting boards with quality plastic. Applying precise masking tape to edges and corners. Filling small holes and cracks with specific putty before painting, not after. Sanding between coats for a perfect finish. Applying primer when the wall requires it. Removing the tape before the paint is completely dry. These details separate a paint job that lasts 8-10 years from one that looks neglected after a month.

How we work

The process is laborious. We apply thick levelling putty over the 'gotelé' (Spanish style textured wall finish) and allow it to dry partially. We then sand it with an orbital sander until the surface is completely smooth. We apply a sealing primer and two coats of plastic paint. The dust generated during sanding is considerable. We cover the entire room with plastic sheets before starting and vacuum thoroughly when finished. A standard 15 m² room, smoothed and painted, takes 2-3 days of work.

When to call for furniture restoration in El Besòs i el Maresme

Yes, we organise by rooms so you have unaffected areas. Low-odour water-based enamels allow you to live at home during the work. Changing a blind strap is probably the most requested repair in the entire area. The reason is structural. 90 percent of homes in blocks in Torrevieja, Punta Prima, Pilar de la Horadada, or La Mata use identical concept roll-up PVC blinds. PVC slats joined by internal tapes. Cotton pull strap that raises and lowers the blind. Embedded winder in the wall and a top box with the axle and rolled-up blind. The cotton strap is the weakest component. It suffers continuous friction every time you raise or lower the blind, thermal expansion and contraction with temperature changes. Degradation due to humidity. Its actual lifespan is around 8-12 years with normal use. After this point, it can break at any time, typically in mid-summer when you lower the blind at midday to shelter from the sun and it gets stuck halfway. Motorisation requires electrical power to the top box. If the box wall already has an electrical cable nearby (typically from the nearest socket in the room), installation is direct. If not, a cable must be run through an external conduit or a hidden channel. The complete motorisation operation takes 2-3 hours per blind when power is nearby. For all blinds in an entire house, we can do it in 1-2 days.

Materials and Brands

Of course. Quality plastics, masking tape, foam board depending on the surface. Everything will be clean and vacuumed when finished. 30 days on the repair. Somfy motors come with a 5-year official manufacturer's warranty. If the blind slats are cracked, discoloured and brittle (typical for blinds over 25-30 years old exposed to direct sunlight), repairing them point by point is no longer economically viable. Replacing the entire blind with a modern model costs two to three times more than just changing the strap. In return, it gives you another 25-30 years of trouble-free operation. Modern slats are injected and filled with polyurethane, much more insulating than the old hollow ones, thus improving thermal insulation. And you can order integrated motorisation from the factory.

Indicative pricing

The price for furniture restoration in El Besòs i el Maresme typically ranges between 95 and 1240 euros. The final figure depends on the property's condition, materials used, and labor time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we respond in less than 10 minutes during business hours. The choice between different types of wood or wood-effect flooring depends on three main factors: budget, intended use, and desired aesthetics. AC4 laminate floating flooring, which is what we sell most of today, offers an excellent balance of value for money and resistance to intensive use. It consists of a top melamine layer with a realistic wood effect (high durability against abrasion), a high-density fibreboard core, and a balancing bottom layer. The top layer has an AC4 rating (suitable for intense domestic use or moderate commercial use) and withstands 25,000 abrasive cycles without visible wear. For standard domestic use, it lasts 15-25 years maintaining a good appearance. Its drawback is that although visually very realistic, it is not natural wood and cannot be re-sanded and re-varnished if damaged at any point.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to change a blind strap?
30-45 minutes per blind with a normal accessible box. If the box is tiled over or requires special opening, up to 90 minutes.
Is it worth motorising existing blinds?
Yes, when they are large, on upper floors, or if mobility is an issue. The investment pays for itself in comfort over a season.
Do you work with WiFi home automation?
Yes, Somfy motors with WiFi remote compatible with Google Home and Alexa. Also integration with systems like Tahoma for full scheduling.
When should the entire blind be replaced?
If slats are cracked, discoloured or brittle (more than 25-30 years outdoors). Spot repairs stop being cost-effective and you're just buying time for an exhausted system.
Do you work with aluminium blinds?
For first coastal lines, we always recommend injected aluminium for salt resistance. For inland areas, reinforced PVC is a more economical equivalent option.
