Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We restore furniture in El Poble-sec. We visit your property, assess the job, give you a clear price, and start. Many people say painting is easy. It's true, anyone can pick up a roller. The difference between an amateur's result and a professional's lies in the preparatory and finishing steps that amateurs skip. Covering furniture, floors, and skirting boards with quality plastic sheeting. Applying precise masking tape to edges and corners. Filling small holes and cracks with specific filler before painting, not after. Sanding between coats for a perfect finish. Applying primer when the wall needs it. Removing the tape before the paint is fully dry. These details separate paint that lasts 8-10 years from paint that looks neglected after a month.

How we work

The process is laborious. We apply a thick levelling filler over the textured plaster and let it dry partially. We sand it down with an orbital sander until the surface is completely smooth. We then apply a sealing primer and two coats of plastic paint. The dust generated during sanding is considerable. We cover the entire room with plastic sheeting before we start and vacuum carefully when finished. A standard 15 m² room, skimmed and painted, takes 2-3 days of work.

When to call us for furniture restoration in El Poble-sec

Yes, we organise by rooms so you have unaffected areas. Water-based enamels with almost no odour allow you to live in the house during the work. When you repaint with a good quality white plastic paint and two coats, the room changes dramatically, and the effect goes beyond the purely aesthetic. The sense of space increases. Light reflects better off the walls, so you need less artificial lighting. Furniture looks cleaner by contrast. And living in a freshly painted house feels different from living in one that needs a refresh. It's a modest investment with a disproportionate impact on daily well-being. For doors, frames, skirting boards, and any interior woodwork, we use synthetic or water-based enamel. We mostly use water-based acrylics today: they dry fast, have no solvent odour, are washable, and durable. We apply them with a spray gun or a very short-pile roller for a smooth finish. Never with a brush on large surfaces, as it leaves marks.

Materials and brands

Certainly. Quality plastic sheeting, masking tape, rigid foam board depending on the surface. We clean and vacuum everything when finished. 10-15 years manufacturer warranty on standard AC4 laminate flooring. 25 years on premium ranges. Plus 30 days of our own coverage on installation. Flooring with official manufacturer warranty (10-25 years) plus our installation coverage.

Indicative pricing

The price for furniture restoration in El Poble-sec typically ranges from €95 to €1240. The final amount depends on the property's condition, materials used, and labour time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we'll reply in under 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 a very good price-quality ratio with resistance to intensive use. It consists of a top layer of melamine with a realistic wood effect (high scratch resistance), a high-density fibreboard core, and a balancing layer underneath. The top layer has an AC4 rating (suitable for heavy domestic or moderate commercial use) and withstands 25,000 abrasive cycles without visible wear. For standard domestic use, it lasts 15-25 years looking good. Its downside is that while visually very realistic, it's not natural wood and cannot be sanded and revarnished if damaged in one spot.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to change a roller shutter belt?
30-45 minutes per shutter with accessible normal box. If the box is tiled over or requires special opening, up to 90 minutes.
Is it worth motorising existing shutters?
Yes, for large ones, on upper floors, or if there's mobility difficulty. The investment pays for itself in comfort within a season.
Do you work with WiFi home automation?
Yes, Somfy motors with WiFi remote compatible with Google Home and Alexa. Also integration with Tahoma-type systems for full programming.
When should I replace the entire shutter?
If slats are cracked, discoloured, or brittle (over 25-30 years old outdoors). Patching them up is no longer cost-effective and you're just delaying the inevitable on a worn-out system.
Do you work with aluminium shutters?
For front-line coastal properties, we always recommend injected aluminium for its resistance to salt spray. For inland areas, reinforced PVC is an equivalent, more economical option.
