Solid wood is the traditional, robust, restorable, and durable option. Its downside is seasonal movement with humidity: in humid summer it absorbs water and swells, in dry winter it contracts. This causes some doors to rub against the frame in July-August and show visible gaps in January-February. For homes occupied all year in areas with stable humidity, it's not a problem. For holiday homes with long closed periods or intermittent heating, the movement is more noticeable. Chairs that wobble at the joints are the most common fault. Glued joints between legs and seat give way over time with continuous use. Correct repair requires dismantling the chair, cleaning joint surfaces by removing old dry glue, re-gluing with appropriate wood glue. Clamping for 24 hours to cure. A well-repaired chair can last another 30-40 years without wobbling again. The second factor to consider is the technical complexity of the repair. We can easily and properly repair furniture with open glued joints, loosened screws, or broken fittings. Furniture with a wood structure burnt by moisture or significant veneer detachment requires complex intervention that can approach the cost of an equivalent new piece. In such cases, we will inform you so you can make a fully informed decision.

Changing handles is the most aesthetically cost-effective upgrade. A new, quality handle (chrome or lacquered steel) changes the perception of the door and lasts 20-30 years without issues. For bathrooms and bedrooms, handles with simple internal locking. For exterior doors leading to a patio or terrace, we recommend a quality cylinder lock if there is a risk of intrusion. A modern and well-installed interior door noticeably changes the feel of a room. An old, painted solid wood door from the 80s, with worn hinges that rub the floor and a loose handle, immediately lowers the perceived quality of the space. Replacing it with a modern lacquered MDF or multi-layered 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. 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 price for decking and parquet in Sant Gervasi - la Bonanova 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 any work. Broken or loose handles and pulls are quick fixes. Replacing them with new ones of the same style or an updated style visually transforms an entire piece of furniture at a reasonable cost. The most common question clients with damaged furniture ask us is whether it's worth repairing or better to buy new. The answer depends on three factors: the sentimental value of the furniture, the original manufacturing quality, and the cost of repair versus an equivalent new item. For furniture from IKEA, Conforama, and similar economy ranges, 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-end furniture, inherited antiques, or items with sentimental value, repair almost always makes sense. Replacing them with solid wood equivalents is significantly more expensive, and the original furniture often has a manufacturing quality no longer found in new production.
