Renovating while you live abroad

You do not need to be in Spain for every decision. A clear scope, an agreed contact person and regular updates help you follow the work from abroad.

Clear Communication

Review the layout, materials and access arrangements before work starts. Agree which choices Jeffrey can coordinate and which need your approval.

In Dutch and English

We work in Dutch and English. We explain things clearly. If something needs to change during the job, we tell you why and what it means for the cost and the timeline. No surprises.

Define the finish you expect

Agreed details

Use samples and written specifications to agree the finish of edges, joints and surfaces before work begins.

Preparation and finishing details

Surface preparation, alignment and the details of wet areas belong in the plan. Agree these before selecting the final decorative finish.

A clear written quote

Written Quotes

We give written quotes that break down the work clearly. You know what is included and what is not. We do not do verbal agreements. We do not start extra work without telling you what it costs first.

No Surprises

If the job turns out to be more complex once we open a wall, we tell you immediately and we agree on next steps before we continue. This is just how we think things should work.

Local Knowledge

Access, material availability, sun and moisture can influence the work. Review these for the actual property and involve the relevant specialist where needed.

The Right Contacts

Some projects need electricians, plumbers or a structural specialist. Jeffrey coordinates the relevant trades within the agreed scope, with a clear point of contact for you.

Who We Work With

Most of our clients are Dutch, Belgian, German, British, or Scandinavian. They own a property on the Costa del Sol - a holiday home, a retirement home, an investment property - and they want the renovation done properly without having to manage every detail themselves. We work in Málaga, Marbella, Fuengirola, Benalmádena, Torremolinos and the surrounding area. If you are not sure whether we cover your location, just ask.
