The third step is applying the final coat of paint. For large facades, we use airless sprayers for a fast, 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 uniform coverage without brush marks. The first step is substrate diagnosis. If the existing paint is well-adhered, we cover it. If it's flaking, we remove it completely with a spatula and sander, leaving the substrate clean. If there are structural cracks (not hairline), we treat them with elastic filler that accommodates minor building movements without cracking again. If there are saltpetre stains or white efflorescence, we remove them with a specific chemical product and neutralise before painting. The second step is priming. We apply a specific penetrating sealant primer that creates a uniform base for the final paint to adhere to. Without the correct primer, the final paint may not grip the substrate well and could flake off soon. This is the step most often skipped in quick repaints but has the biggest impact on durability.

Seepage damp requires extra treatment. If water is entering from the roof, the roof must be repaired first. If it's rising damp from the ground, it requires chemical barrier injection. Painting over it without addressing the source is always a waste of money. Yes, we organise work by rooms so you can continue living in the house. Water-based paints with almost no odour allow you to stay home during the work. The recommended minimum height for a false ceiling is 8-10 cm from the original ceiling. This difference creates more 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 chalets where the height is excessive, we can plan a greater drop to restore proportion and allow for more sophisticated lighting.

Have you bought a property in the area and the facade or terrace has yellowish, peeling paint or whitish stains? 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, more than 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 among the pigments. An economical 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. The most common mistake is repainting a facade with interior paint or economical large-surface exterior paint. It works the first year but visibly degrades by the second. You need to invest in specific exterior paint with acrylic or silicone resins, a quality UV filter, and impact resistance. The cost difference per litre between the economical and professional paint is relatively small. The difference in years of durability offers a significant return. We check the condition of the facade and choose the appropriate paint system for the material and exposure.
