Communication via email and WhatsApp, before-and-after photos, and digital invoicing. For homes that are empty from October to March, the inspection also includes technical shutdown. We turn off the water stopcocks 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 conditioning trays and turn them off. We also check smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, if present.

This is a very specific pattern for the area. Solid wood interior doors, especially those in blocks built in the 80s-90s, swell and contract with seasonal humidity changes. In summer, when humidity and temperature are high, the wood absorbs water from the air and expands. The door stops closing properly, rubs against the top frame or side, and forcing it shut only worsens the hinge. In winter, when humidity drops and the dry westerly wind comes in, the wood contracts. The door closes well but there is a visible gap between the door and frame, allowing air and noise to pass through. This is the natural cycle of wood and can only be avoided by two things. Either replace with an MDF or multi-layered door that doesn't have this movement, or learn to live with it and adjust the hinges as needed. Traditional knob hinges, those seen on old built-in doors, are not adjustable. If the door rubs, wood must be planed down or hinges replaced with modern adjustable models. Planing wood is the usual solution when the problem is seasonal. We remove 1-2 mm from the rubbing area, seal the cut, and the door closes again.

For more modern windows with tilt-and-turn profiles and thermal break, the hardware is of better quality but also requires maintenance. Lubricating the hinges and adjusting the closing points every 2-3 years significantly extends their lifespan and prevents air from entering in winter or making them too difficult to open. We always bring tools. For specific materials (wall plugs, screws, silicone, etc.), we usually carry them in the van. If the job requires special materials, we will inform you in advance. The vast majority of homes in the area are apartments built between the 1970s and 2000s. Brick or block walls, medium-height ceilings, installations that have accumulated repairs over the years. Many have passed through several hands: owners who have partially renovated, tenants who have left their mark. They have that mix of heterogeneous materials and solutions that makes each visit a little different.

The price for silicone and sealants in La Creu Alta typically ranges between 28 and 216 euros. The final figure depends on the property's condition, materials, and working time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. If it becomes misaligned again within 30 days due to the same cause, we will return at no extra cost. Yes, we offer an annual contract with two scheduled visits plus urgent response during the rest of the year at a preferential rate.
