Antique door restoration work in Mallorca
Every piece of work you see here is a real door, from a real house in Mallorca.
Full restoration of an entrance door in Porto Petro / Parc Natural de Mondragó
This door, when you looked at it up close before restoration, told you everything. The bottom was affected by moisture, and the ironwork had been darkening over the years. There's no mystery there: the first step is to stop and look carefully.
Assess where it's suffering, which parts still hold up and which ones have given out. A door like this cannot be fixed quickly and easily: it has to be done in stages, and done properly.
Restoration of doors on a farmhouse in Sant Jordi
This work was on a farmhouse on the outskirts of Colonia de Sant Jordi.
The same process as always, in this profession there are no shortcuts: full stripping to remove all old layers and expose the wood, deep cleaning, treatment and reconstruction of damaged parts, and a complete woodworm and insect treatment to cut the problem at the root.
There was one detail that made the difference: every original nail was removed one by one, restored, treated against corrosion and put back in its place. It's a time-consuming job, but it's what keeps the door being itself.
Afterwards, a final finish with a specialist exterior protective product: to nourish the wood and prepare it to last.
The result is a pair of restored doors with all their original nails recovered — clean work, faithful to the piece and built to last.
Do any of these symptoms sound familiar?

Restoration of an exterior door in Capdepera
This door arrived with years of wear on it: layer after layer of paint applied one on top of another, and underneath, the wood crying out for air.
On top of that, the bottom section — always the part that suffers most — had given out completely.
Antique doors in Felanitx
These doors came from an old mill on the property. The owner wanted to reuse them in his country house and, to be honest, they were in very poor condition. The main problem was clear: wood with damage and sections affected by insects, and hardware that needed to be recovered if the door was going to work and last.
Entrance door repair
In this case the work was on the doors of a very old house. The doors were stripped manually using steel wool, without sandpaper or aggressive machines, to avoid damaging the wood.
Afterwards a treatment was applied to eliminate woodworm, and all cracks and pores were repaired.
The door knockers, made of cast iron, were treated with the appropriate products to protect them from corrosion and restore their original elegance.
Although there are many types of finish, the client chose a treatment based on petroleum jelly and white spirit to nourish the wood and give it a natural colour.
Exterior wooden windows
These are exterior windows with glass panes. Sometimes the glass has to be removed, as in this case, in order to restore the frame properly.
For windows facing the exterior, products are applied that protect them from sun and moisture..
Recovery of antique doors from a dairy farm for a house in Llucmajor
These doors came with their own story: the client had some doors from a dairy farm that had belonged to her family, and she wanted to recover them to give them a second life and keep a beautiful memory.
And when you care about a door, you don't just want it to look decent; you want it to close properly and be strong.
Here the work was the kind you don't see in the first photo, but you feel every day.
Reconstruction of a batiport in Orient, Serra de Tramuntana
This work was in Orient, deep in the Serra de Tramuntana, and it was one of the complex ones. The piece is a batiport — the interior wooden frame that surrounds the door — and it arrived in very poor condition: insects had eaten it from the inside and the structure could no longer hold. Surface repair was not an option here: everything had to be dismantled piece by piece, reconstructed and reassembled.
Interior timber doors — North
In this case a deep cleaning process was carried out, followed by stripping and crack repair.
In the image on the right you can see the condition after the restoration process was completed.
