About Handwerk Algarve




All or nothing. The reason for moving to the Algarve was surfing. Only time, ambition and experience lead to an aesthetic result and this is also the case in professional craftsmanship.

Good training, many hours in the workshop and the right feeling for the material ultimately result in the desired product. This applies to carpenters, bricklayers, locksmiths or architects and that is our competence. Our years of experience as well as the creative craft Algarve team, consisting of craftsmen and designers, and our large network in the Algarve and in Germany make it possible to successfully implement projects. Be it individual furniture or the entire interior.
