English Builder in Algarrobo
Algarrobo offers the best of both worlds – traditional pueblo charm and coastal proximity. I work on diverse property types here, from village houses to modern coastal villas.
Diverse Property Types
Algarrobo is unique in having both a traditional mountain village (Algarrobo pueblo) and a coastal area (Algarrobo-Costa near the beach). This creates diverse renovation challenges and opportunities. Village properties are typically traditional houses requiring sensitive renovation, while coastal areas have more modern villas and apartments needing different approaches.
In the pueblo, I work on traditional whitewashed houses with the usual challenges of old construction – damp issues, small dark rooms, outdated facilities. Down toward the coast, projects often involve modern villa improvements, apartment renovations, and properties built in the last 30-40 years needing updates to contemporary standards.
The international community here is significant, particularly British, Dutch, and German owners. My bilingual capability ensures clear communication in English while handling all Spanish bureaucracy and coordination. Whether your property is in the traditional village or closer to the coast, I adapt my approach to suit the building type and your requirements.
Common Algarrobo Projects
Traditional Village House Renovations
In Algarrobo pueblo, I handle typical mountain village challenges – damp problems, narrow access, traditional construction methods. Modernising these properties while preserving character requires understanding both traditional building techniques and contemporary standards.
Villa Improvements
More modern properties near the coast often need updating – bathroom renovations, kitchen modernisation, tiling upgrades, terrace improvements. British owners want quality fixtures and professional finishes. I deliver that standard while working within Spanish building codes.
Bathroom and Kitchen Updates
Whether traditional pueblo property or modern villa, bathrooms and kitchens need periodic updating. Complete renovations with proper waterproofing, quality materials, and professional installation. I create spaces that meet British expectations for functionality and finish quality.
Tiling Projects
Interior floors, bathroom and kitchen walls, outdoor terraces – professional tiling makes a huge difference to property appearance and functionality. Proper installation with appropriate materials for each location ensures work that lasts.
Serving Both Village and Coast
Algarrobo’s split personality requires flexibility. Traditional village work needs sensitivity to historical features and narrow street access. Coastal properties allow more straightforward logistics but demand high-quality modern finishes. I’m equally comfortable with both, adapting my approach to suit each project.
At 15km from Cómpeta, I’m still genuinely local to Algarrobo. Site visits, project monitoring, and quick response to questions are all straightforward. Building permits are handled through Algarrobo’s own municipality, and I manage all the Spanish paperwork and coordination.
Whether you’ve bought a traditional house in the pueblo or a modern villa closer to the beach, I provide the same reliable service: clear communication in English, quality workmanship, and professional project management from quote to completion.
