Aluminium, metalwork and plumbing, made to measure
I'm Gonçalo Araújo, from Barroselas, and I make and fit windows, doors, gates, railings and staircases, and do plumbing, in Viana do Castelo, Barcelos and across the Minho. Send me the measurements or a photo on WhatsApp and I'll reply with a price.

Aluminium, metal and water from one tradesman
Instead of calling three companies, you deal with one person. These are the jobs I do.
Aluminium and glazing
Metalwork
Plumbing
The work, up close
In the workshop, in clients' homes, under a sink or adjusting a window: I do the work from start to finish.
From your message to the finished job
Three steps, usually without you having to be at home for the first one.
Send a message
On WhatsApp, with a photo or two and rough measurements, if you have them.
Get a price
I reply with a clear quote. If something needs measuring precisely, I arrange a visit.
Job done
We book a date that suits you. At the end everything is left clean, tested and working.
Why talk to me
- You deal with the person doing the work
- No sales reps or middlemen. The person who gives you the quote is the person who does the job.
- Replies on WhatsApp
- Send photos and measurements and get a price without losing a morning waiting in for a visit.
- Materials for the Minho climate
- Rain, damp and sea air: I choose materials and finishes that stand up to them.
- Straight talking
- If a repair isn't worth it, I'll tell you. If it's better to repair than replace, I'll tell you that too.
Where I work
I am based in Barroselas, between Viana do Castelo and Barcelos, and cover the Alto Minho, the Cávado and nearby areas.
Frequently asked questions
Is the quote really free?
Yes. Send photos and rough measurements on WhatsApp and you'll get a quote with no obligation. When something needs measuring precisely, I arrange a visit.
Which areas do you cover?
I'm based in Barroselas, in the municipality (concelho) of Viana do Castelo. I work in Viana do Castelo, Barcelos, Esposende, Ponte de Lima, Braga, Vila Nova de Famalicão, Póvoa de Varzim, Vila do Conde, Caminha and other parts of the Minho. If your village isn't on the list, just ask.
Do you take on small jobs?
I do. Adjusting a window, replacing a roller shutter strap, welding a gate, fixing a leak or replacing a broken pane. Whenever I can, I group several repairs in the same area into one trip.
How do I ask for a quote, and what should I send?
The quickest way is WhatsApp on +351 967 432 130. Tell me what you need and where the house is, and send photos of the spot, close up and from further back, with rough width and height measurements and the colour or finish you prefer. With that I can nearly always give you a price without coming out.
Can I write to you in English?
Yes, you're welcome to send your message in English on WhatsApp. Photos and rough measurements are often the clearest way to explain a job, whatever the language.
I'm not in Portugal all year. Can the work still be done?
Yes. We can sort out the quote on WhatsApp with photos and rough measurements. I always take the final measurements on site, so we arrange the visit and the job for when you're here or for when someone can let me into the house, and I can send you photos of the before and after.
Tell me what you need
Three quick questions and the message is ready to send on WhatsApp. Then just add the photos.
