Why Marbella homes get this: High-end villas in Marbella's premium zones feature substantial bespoke joinery — solid-wood shutters, terrace pergolas, walk-in wardrobes, and custom kitchen cabinetry — that requires restoration-grade specialists familiar with imported tropical and European hardwoods. Salt-air humidity accelerates joint failure and warping; termite activity (Reticulitermes) is present and treatment certificates are increasingly requested at sale.

The housing stock is old for the country, which pushes repair and replacement demand above the national average.
