Village Houses · Stone Homes · Hillside Fincas
Reforms for village houses, older stone homes and hillside fincas around the medlar terraces of Callosa d'en Sarrià, carried out by a firm whose office sits in the town itself.
Our office is here in Callosa d'en Sarrià, so this is not a town we drive to from somewhere else. We know the streets, the suppliers and a good many of the houses, which helps when a job needs a quick site visit or a material is needed by the next morning.
The town lies inland in the valley below the Guadalest mountains, and the housing reflects it: village houses with thick walls, older stone and rendered homes, and fincas on the hillsides among the farming terraces. Many have been in a family for generations.
Renovating these buildings is about respecting what is sound and repairing what is not. We coordinate every trade, from structure to paintwork, and offer a written quotation that costs nothing, so you can decide at your own pace what the house really needs.
Village houses
A village house here often has deep walls that keep heat out in summer yet stay cold in winter. The aim of a reform is rarely to hide that character. It is to add warmth, proper wiring and modern plumbing without losing the proportions that make the house pleasant.
Floors and ceilings deserve early attention. Timber beams, old tile and uneven levels can be repaired or replaced, and we tell you which is realistic once we have seen them. Sometimes a repair is enough; sometimes a section has to be rebuilt.
Access can be tight in older streets, so we plan how materials arrive and how waste leaves before the first day on site. Whatever the plan, we check the stairs, balconies and lintels before promising anything, because a lovely finish on a weak element only hides a future problem.
Hillsides
Outside the centre, country houses sit on terraced land where nísperos and other crops have long been grown. A finca can be a lovely home, but it may also have a private track, a well, a septic arrangement and walls that have been extended in stages.
We look at the building and its surroundings together. Roof condition, damp at the base of the walls, the state of the terrace retaining walls and the route water takes across the plot all affect how the house will perform once renovated.
Where a specialist opinion is needed, for instance on a structural crack, we say so rather than guess. Where a specialist opinion is needed, for instance on a structural crack or an old retaining wall, we say so plainly rather than guess. A wrong guess at this stage is far costlier than a short delay for proper advice.
Local firm
Renovation goes better when the builder can be on site quickly. Because our base is in the town, we can look at a problem the same week it appears, and a small question does not turn into a lost fortnight.
Neighbours know us, and we know who to call for materials. That local footing matters most in a village where the street is narrow and good relations count.

Deliveries are timed so that nobody is blocked in.
For owners who live elsewhere, the office also means someone is close enough to check the house and report back with photographs between your visits.

How it works
We begin by visiting the house or holding a video call, then walk through the building with you. The written quotation lists the work included and is free. Where a smaller approach would meet your needs, we suggest it alongside the larger one.
Work then proceeds in the order the building demands, with updates at each stage and a final walk-round together. Everything we do is guaranteed, and the exact extent of that guarantee is written into the quotation. Conversations can be held in English or Spanish.
Questions
Yes, Dragon Reforms is based in the town itself, so we can visit a property at short notice, meet you in person and react quickly when a job needs a decision or a delivery. That honesty saves you money you might otherwise spend twice.
Yes. We repair and update older stone and rendered houses, examining walls, roofs and floors first so that the new work rests on sound ground instead of hiding weaknesses. Expect a straight answer rather than a sales pitch.
We take those on as well. The building and the land around it are surveyed together, including terrace walls and drainage, and we explain what is realistic before you commit to a scope. Ask as many questions as you like at the visit.
Yes. If something such as a structural crack calls for a specialist opinion, we say so plainly and help arrange it, instead of guessing and putting the rest of the job at risk. It is one of the first things we raise when we arrive.
