IT'S A RESTORATION
When is it worth restoring your wooden door?
If your door is solid wood or has aesthetic value, it's almost always worth restoring it rather than replacing it. With photos I can guide you and suggest the most suitable finish.
I've spent fifteen years restoring wooden doors in Mallorca. That specialisation allows me to know every type of wood, every problem and every finish in depth. First I assess, then I decide. The goal is not to make it look new.. The goal is for it to be sound, protected and with its character intact..

SEE THE DIFFERENCE
Before and after (real case)
The old is not discarded, it's respected. Throwing it out is easy. The hard part is bringing it back to life while respecting what makes it special. That's what I do: making sure it keeps telling its story for another 50 years.
Does your door have any of these problems?
I approach every case from a real diagnosis, not the quickest quote. Before proposing anything, I understand what the door has and what level of intervention makes sense.
-
Cracked varnish or wood darkened by the sun
Sun and moisture degrade exterior varnish: it lifts, cracks and leaves the wood exposed. It has a solution with the right treatment and finish.
-
Door that rubs, scrapes or doesn't close properly
It's almost always a hardware problem or wood that has moved due to moisture. In most cases it's resolved without replacing the door.
-
Woodworm: holes and sawdust
First I diagnose whether it's active. Then I apply the correct treatment, repair the affected areas and protect the wood so it doesn't return.
After
Before
-
Cracks, dents and soft, weak areas
I repair missing sections, consolidate weak areas and leave the wood ready for a lasting finish. No cosmetic cover-ups, no patches that won't hold.
-
Rusty, loose or misaligned hardware
Hinges, locks, knockers. I check, restore or replace as needed so everything works smoothly and safely.
-
Moisture: swelling and warping
Wood that has been affected by moisture needs time and technique. I assess the real damage before proposing any intervention.
Every door is a different case
I don't apply the same process to all doors. The diagnosis leads the way: first I understand the real condition of the wood, the use and the environment. Then I propose.
DOOR RESTORATION SERVICES IN MALLORCA
Antique door restoration
Antique door restoration — I recover the original character without erasing it. Careful stripping, repair of mouldings and missing sections, finish that respects the piece's style.
Front door and exterior
The door that suffers most. I repair the structure and apply a finish resistant to sun, rain and daily use. The varnish won't lift again within a year.
Interior doors
Fine finish, pleasant feel and uniform colour. For interiors I aim for aesthetics and low maintenance. If you want to keep the original tone, we work it out with samples.
Woodworm treatment
Real diagnosis of the extent of the damage. Specific treatment to eliminate it. Repair of affected areas. Protection so it doesn't return.
Manual stripping
For doors with value: I remove old layers while respecting mouldings, edges and relief. Without aggressive machines that erase the original detail.
Hardware, hinges and locks
I check the complete set: hinges, anchors, alignment, lock. I restore or replace what is needed. The door closes smoothly and safely again.
Do any of these symptoms sound familiar?
If any of them apply, send me 3 photos (front, detail and edge) and I'll tell you the most recommended solution.
Examples of restoration and handcrafted finishes
This is the part that matters. No promises here: just doors.
Restoring a door is not quick or simple
But when it's done and you see it in its place, it's hard to explain the difference. A new door is just a new door. Yours, restored, is still yours — with all its history and character, protected for decades more. I've never had a client, upon seeing it finished, ask me to replace it with a new one.
HOW I WORK
