Repairs & MaintenanceExterior Work

The challenge

This house sits close to the sea near Emborios, where salt air and humidity had soaked into the walls over the years. The owner was repainting and patching almost every year just to keep up with the damage.

What Jani did

Jani's team stripped and recoated the walls in the correct layers, using proper waterproofing materials suited to a seafront property. The work included time at significant height on scaffolding. The goal was a repair that lasts, not another yearly patch job.
