The third step is applying the final coat of paint. For large facades, we use airless sprayers for a quick, uniform finish. For terraces and detailed areas, we use high-quality rollers. We always apply two cross-coats (the first vertically, the second horizontally) to ensure even coverage without brush marks. The second step is priming. We apply a specific penetrating primer that creates a uniform base for the final paint to adhere to. Without the correct primer, the final paint may not adhere well and could peel off prematurely. This is the step most often skipped in quick repaints but has the biggest impact on durability. The first step is substrate diagnosis. If the existing paint is well-adhered, we paint over it. If it's peeling, we remove it completely with a scraper and sander, leaving a clean substrate. For structural cracks (not superficial ones), we treat them with flexible filler that accommodates minor building movements without re-cracking. For saltpetre stains or white efflorescence, we remove them with a specific chemical product and neutralise before painting.

Seepage dampness requires extra treatment. If water is entering from the roof, the roof must be repaired first. If it's rising damp from the ground, a chemical barrier injection is needed. Painting over it without addressing the source is always a waste of money. Yes, we organise work by rooms so you have unaffected areas. Water-based enamels with almost no odour allow you to live in the house during the work. The minimum recommended height for a false ceiling is 8-10 cm from the original ceiling. This difference adds interior volume when recessed spotlights with boxes are installed to prevent heat transfer or when air ducts need to be integrated. For high ceilings in old villas where the height is excessive, we can propose a greater drop to restore proportion and allow for more sophisticated lighting.

The most common mistake is repainting a facade with interior paint or cheap exterior paint for large surfaces. It works the first year but visibly degrades by the second. You need to invest in specific exterior paint with acrylic or silicone resins, quality UV filters, and impact resistance. The cost difference per litre between cheap and professional paint is relatively small. The difference in years of durability provides a significant return. Have you bought a property in the area and the facade or terrace has yellowed, peeling, or stained paint? It's not due to poor quality of the original paint. It's due to the harsh exposure conditions of the area. The Costa Blanca combines four factors that destroy standard exterior paints: Intense and constant sun (over 300 days a year of direct UV radiation), marine saltpetre that deposits on surfaces near the coast, rare but torrential rains that wash away layers, and Saharan dust that embeds itself between pigments. A cheap white paint resistant to UV will last three summers in these conditions. A specific paint for coastal climates with a reinforced UV filter will last 8-10 years looking good. We check the facade's condition and choose the appropriate paint system for the material and exposure.
