Renovation in Maspalomas and the south
In the south, building work runs on a calendar that does not exist elsewhere on the island: the season. Renovating a rented apartment in the middle of the European winter is not expensive, it is impossible.
The other issue is chemical. The enemy here is not rain, it is salt. Sea breeze drives chlorides into render and concrete, where they corrode the reinforcement from the inside for years before the first rust stain appears.
Everything built in the south is built with that in mind, or it is built twice.

01 — Local factors
What makes building in Maspalomas different
01
The working window
In complexes still letting, work is planned for the low season with a fixed end date. A delay here costs nights you cannot sell.
02
Chloride corrosion
Passivated reinforcement and specific repair mortars. Painting over a chloride-contaminated substrate is money wasted.
03
Tourist regulations
Apartments in commercial letting are subject to their own quality and renovation requirements, quite separate from a private home.
04
Bungalows and large communities
The same work repeated across dozens of identical units. Industrialising the process saves real money, and that saving goes into the quote.
02 — Services
What we are asked for here
Façade renovation
Cutting back, treating chloride damage and refinishing. On this island a façade fights the sea, not just the rain.
Roof waterproofing
Diagnosis first, waterproofing second. A leak almost never appears directly below where the water gets in.
Bathroom renovation
Bath-to-shower conversions, new plumbing and properly set-out tiling. The bathroom is where bad work shows up first.
03 — Questions
Frequently asked
- Can you work outside high season?
- That is exactly how we plan it. Tell us your availability window and we size the crew to get in and out inside it, with the date in writing.
- I don't speak Spanish. Is that a problem?
- No. We work with foreign owners regularly and can provide the quote and documentation in English.
- My apartment is managed by a letting company. Who do you deal with?
- Whoever you tell us to. In practice we usually coordinate with both you and the management company, because the working window and any restrictions on finishes come from them.
