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.
