Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We install decking and parquet flooring in Ègara. We visit the property, assess the work, provide a clear quote, and then begin. A highly requested improvement today is combining a motorised blind with a retractable insect screen integrated into the same box. This allows both the blind and the insect screen to operate independently, both hidden when not in use. It is the standard solution in modern new builds. For renovations of existing homes, it requires replacing the entire box with a new, deeper one to accommodate both systems.

How we work

Fast home repairs. Complex restorations with sanding and varnishing, in our own workshop. Collection and delivery included in the quote. Call us, write to us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we respond within 10 minutes during business hours. The price depends on the service and complexity. We will send you a clear, no-obligation quote before any work begins.

When to call for decking and parquet in Ègara

Yes, when they are large, on upper floors, or if mobility is an issue. The investment pays for itself in comfort in one season. Changing a blind cord is probably the most requested repair in the entire area. The reason is structural. 90 percent of homes in apartment blocks in Torrevieja, Punta Prima, Pilar de la Horadada, or La Mata use roll-up PVC blinds that are identical in concept. PVC slats joined by internal tapes. Cotton pull cord that raises and lowers the blind. Recoiler recessed into the wall and an upper box with the axle and the rolled-up blind. The cotton cord is the weakest component. It suffers continuous friction every time you raise or lower the blind, thermal expansion and contraction with temperature changes, and degradation from humidity. Its real lifespan is around 8-12 years in normal use. After that, it can break at any time, typically in the middle of summer when you lower the blind at midday to escape the sun and it gets stuck halfway. Changing the cord itself takes 30-45 minutes per blind when the box is accessible. The real complexity lies in locating the internal break, opening the box without damaging it, removing the axle, taking out the old cord, threading the new one through the slats and the recoiler. Reassembling the entire unit without misaligning the slats. For someone who has never done it, a blind can take three hours and end up worse than before. For technicians who do it daily, it's a 30-minute job with a clean result.

Materials and brands

Yes, for quality furniture, we custom-fabricate replicas of damaged legs, drawers, or panels. Wood matched to the original and a consistent finish. 30 days on the repair. Somfy motors with official manufacturer's 5-year warranty. If the blind slats are cracked, discoloured, and brittle (typical for blinds more than 25-30 years old exposed to the sun outdoors), 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 cord. In return, it gives you another 25-30 years of trouble-free use. 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 price

The cost for decking and parquet flooring in Ègara 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. Generally no, except in very specific cases. The price of a new equivalent IKEA item is low. For mid-range to high-end items or antique furniture, it almost always pays off. Broken or loose handles and pulls are a quick fix. Replacing them with new pulls of the same style or an updated one visually transforms an entire piece of furniture at a reasonable cost.

Frequently asked questions

## Are you an agency or property manager?

The price depends on the service and complexity. We will send you a clear, no-obligation quote before any work begins.
How long does it take to change a blind cord?
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 in one 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 programming.
