One of the most frequent calls we receive in autumn-winter are from homeowners who haven't painted their house in eight or ten years. They've realised the walls are no longer white, but a difficult-to-define greyish-yellow. Mediterranean light is unforgiving on walls. Cheap whites yellow through slow oxidation, especially in rooms with direct sun or near the kitchen where steam and suspended oil reach. Furniture marks, scuffs from wear and tear, and small knocks on corners are cumulative.

Typical seasonal movement of solid wood with humidity. We adjust hinges or plane off 1-2 mm from the rubbing area for year-round levelling. The pull cord replacement for shutters is probably the most requested repair in the entire area. The reason is structural. 90% of homes in blocks in Torrevieja, Punta Prima, Pilar de la Horadada, or La Mata have identical PVC roller shutters in concept. PVC slats joined by internal cords. A cotton pull cord that raises and lowers the shutter. A wall-recessed winder and a top box with the axle and the rolled-up shutter. The cotton cord is the weakest component. It suffers continuous friction every time you raise or lower the shutter, thermal expansion and contraction with temperature changes, and degradation by moisture. Its real lifespan is around 8-12 years with normal use. After that, it can break at any moment, typically in mid-summer when you lower the shutter at midday to escape the sun and it gets stuck halfway. Motorisation requires electrical power to the top box. If the box wall already has electrical wiring nearby (typically from the room's nearby socket), the installation is straightforward. Otherwise, it's necessary to run a cable through an external conduit or a hidden channel. The complete motorisation process takes 2-3 hours per shutter when power is nearby. For all the shutters in an entire house, we can do it in 1-2 days.

A modern, well-installed interior door perceptibly changes the feel of a room. An old solid wood door from the 80s, painted, 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-laminate door with adjustable hidden hinges and a quality handle costs a reasonable amount and lasts another 30-40 years without seasonal movement or the need for periodic varnishing. Changing handles is the most aesthetically cost-effective upgrade. A new mid-range handle (chrome-plated or lacquered steel) changes the door's perception and lasts 20-30 years without issues. For bathrooms and bedrooms, handles with a simple interior lock. For exterior doors leading to a patio or terrace, we recommend a quality lock cylinder if there's a risk of intrusion. 30 days on repairs. Somfy motors with official manufacturer's 5-year warranty.

The choice between different types of wood or wood-effect flooring depends on three main factors: budget, intended use, and desired aesthetics. Laminate floating flooring AC4, which is what we sell most of today, combines excellent value for money with resistance to intensive use. It consists of a top layer of melamine with a realistic wood effect (high abrasion resistance), a high-density fibreboard core, and a balancing layer underneath. 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 looking good. Its drawback is that although visually very realistic, it's not natural wood and cannot be sanded and revarnished if damaged in places.
