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-coated layers (the first vertical, the second horizontal) to ensure even coverage without brush marks. The second step is priming. We apply a specific sealing primer that penetrates the surface and creates a uniform base for the topcoat to adhere to. Without the correct primer, the final paint may not bond 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 surface diagnosis. If the existing paint is well-adhered, we cover it. If it's flaking, we remove it completely with spatulas and sanders, leaving a clean surface. If there are structural cracks (not superficial), we treat them with flexible filler that accommodates minor building movements without re-cracking. If there are saltpeter stains or white efflorescence, we remove them with a specific chemical product and neutralize before painting.

Properties on the seafront have specific issues requiring extra treatment. Seawater salt deposits on the wall and, with humidity, migrates inwards. When we paint over it, the salts continue their path and cause the new paint to flake within months. The solution is washing with specific chemicals before painting, neutralization, and applying a siloxane-type paint that allows the wall to breathe without letting water in. 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 creates more interior volume when recessed spotlights with transformer boxes are needed to prevent heat transfer or when integrating air ducts. For high ceilings in old villas where the height is excessive, we can plan 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, large-area exterior paint. It holds up the first year but visibly degrades by the second. You must 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 more than compensates. Have you bought a property in the area and the facade or terrace has yellowish, peeling, or whitish-stained paint? It's not due to poor quality of the original paint. It's due to the harsh environmental 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 saltpeter that deposits on surfaces near the coast. Rare but torrential rains that erode layers. And Saharan dust that embeds itself into the pigments. A cheap white paint resistant to UV might last three summers in these conditions. A specific paint for coastal climates with reinforced UV filters lasts 8-10 years looking good.
