For homes that are empty from October to March, the inspection also includes technical closure. We close the main water valves if there's no risk of frost, which is rare on the coast. We purge the water heater if the home remains unused for more than three months. We empty the air conditioner trays and leave them off. And we check smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, if present.

A popular improvement today is combining a motorised blind with an integrated roller fly screen in the same casing. This allows both the blind and the fly screen to operate independently, both hidden when not in use. It's the standard solution in modern new construction. For existing home renovations, it requires replacing the entire casing with a new, deeper one that accommodates both systems. Solid wood is the traditional option, robust, restorable, and durable. Its drawback is seasonal movement with humidity: in humid summer, it absorbs water and swells; in dry winter, it contracts. This means some doors may rub against the frame in July-August and show noticeable gaps in January-February. For homes inhabited year-round in areas with stable humidity, it's not a problem. For holiday homes with long periods closed or intermittent heating, the movement is more perceptible. Typical seasonal movement of solid wood with humidity. We adjust the hinges or plane down 1-2 mm in the rubbing area to level it all year round.

A modern, well-installed interior door perceptibly changes the feel of a room. An old solid wood painted door from the 80s, with worn hinges scraping 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 concealed 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 improvement. A new handle of medium quality (chrome-plated or lacquered steel) changes the perception of the door and lasts 20-30 years without issues. For bathrooms and bedrooms, handles with a simple internal lock. For exterior doors leading to a patio or terrace, we recommend a quality cylinder lock if there is a risk of intrusion. Official manufacturer's warranty 5-10 years depending on brand and model. Plus 30 days on labour.

The data we have from our own clients confirms this year after year.
