Service: shower screens installation and shower tray replacement, and applying waterproof adhesives between tiles
Liron did an excellent job with my shower screens installation and shower plate replacement in Barcelona. He was professional, efficient, and stuck to a price that was way lower than the market, which was a pleasant surprise. The team was reliable and fast, and I appreciated how they used waterproof glue between the tiles. I highly recommend their outstanding service!

Service: Installed wood paneling, wallpapered, and painted a bedroom wall
I hired him to do a bedroom wall - wood panelling, wallpaper, and painting. It was fantastic. He was very helpful, fast, nice, on time, and the work was very well done. Price was good.

Service: Painting study and structural renovation of a 200-year-old house
He did my painting study - I am a painter - and handled the structural renovation drawings for my small 200-year-old house. Very professional, kind and serious, everything was fluid and the relationship felt natural, we worked perfectly and I am very happy. Price felt fair. I would use him again.

Service: Architectural design and interior decoration for legal studies company
Priscila is an avant-garde architect who designed everything for my legal studies company, founded in 2020, from the beginning - the architectural theme, the interior decoration, and even the design of the brand. Her work is exquisite and extraordinary, and we trust her 100%; she is young, very professional, and the result is excellent. She also helped us with the decoration of the house. We have recommended some of our corporate clients to her, and some have already worked with her.

Service: TV wall mount installation on hollow wall with correct bracket; plumbing issue assessment pending parts
Charles contacted me the same day and came to look at the job - mounting a television bracket onto a hollow wall. He told me my bracket wasn’t strong enough, advised which one to get, then came back the next day, fixed it to the wall, cleaned up, and we even had a drink in the apartment. Price felt fair, and I reimbursed him for some extra screws. I’ve already asked him to come back to fit a new radiator in the bathroom and change an electric plug once I get the parts.

Service: Renovation of our house in Barcelona
After analysing our space, she implemented a great concept with smooth communication explaining everything carefully without rush. Tamara was very transparent and precise about timelines and expectations. She even exceeded the limits of our imagination with her creativity and knowledge. Working with her is highly recommended. She definitely exceeded our expectations!
