The second factor to consider is the technical complexity of the repair. We can easily and effectively repair furniture with open glued joints, loosened screws, or broken hardware. Furniture with a wooden structure burned by humidity or with large areas of veneer detachment requires complex intervention that can approach the cost of an equivalent new piece of furniture. In such cases, we will inform you so that you can make an informed decision. Typical seasonal movement of solid wood with humidity. We adjust hinges or trim 1-2 mm in the rubbing area to level it all year round. Solid wood is the traditional option: robust, restorable, and durable. Its drawback is seasonal movement with 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. For homes inhabited year-round in areas with stable humidity, this is not a problem. For holiday homes with long periods of being closed or with intermittent heating, the movement is more noticeable.

For pieces of great historical or artistic value, we refer to a specialised external restorer with whom we collaborate. Museum-quality restorations require specific training that goes beyond general carpentry. The most common question customers with damaged furniture ask us 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 the cost of repair versus an equivalent new one. For IKEA, Conforama, and similar budget-range furniture, where the price of a new table or chair is reasonable, repair rarely pays off except for very simple, isolated cases. For mid-to-high-range furniture, inherited antiques, or items with sentimental value, repair almost always makes sense. Replacing them with solid wood equivalents is far more expensive, and the original furniture often boasts a manufacturing quality no longer found in new production. Changing handles is the most aesthetically cost-effective improvement. A new handle of medium quality (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 exterior doors leading to a patio or terrace, we recommend a quality cylinder lock if there is a risk of intrusion.

The price for decking and parquet flooring in El Gòtic typically ranges between 96 and 2200 euros. The final figure depends on the property's condition, materials, and labour time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting work. Broken or loose handles and knobs are a quick fix. Replacing them with new ones of the same style or an updated design visually transforms an entire piece of furniture at a reasonable cost. Generally no, except in very specific cases. The price of an equivalent new IKEA item is low. For mid-to-high-range or antique furniture, it almost always pays off.
