If the existing paint is well adhered, we cover it. If it's peeling, we remove it completely with a spatula and sander, leaving the substrate clean. If there are structural cracks (not superficial ones), we treat them with elastic filler that accommodates the building's minor movements without re-cracking. 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 sealing primer that penetrates the substrate and creates a uniform adhesive base for the final paint. Without proper priming, the final paint may not adhere well to the substrate and peel off quickly. This is the step most often skipped in quick repaints but has the most impact on durability.

Homes on the seafront have specific problems requiring extra treatment. Saltpetre deposits on the wall and, with humidity, migrates into the substrate. When we paint over it, the salts continue their path and peel the new paint off within months. The solution is washing with specific chemical products before painting, neutralisation, and application of a siloxane-type paint that allows the wall to breathe without letting water in. Problems with infiltration damp require 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 a chemical barrier injection. Painting over it without treating the source is always a waste of money. The minimum recommended height for a false ceiling is 8-10 cm from the original ceiling. This difference gains interior volume when there are recessed spotlights with boxes to prevent heat transfer or when integrating air ducts. For high ceilings in old chalets where the height is excessive, we can consider a greater drop to restore proportion and allow for more sophisticated lighting.

We check the facade's condition and choose the appropriate paint system for the material and exposure. Official manufacturer's warranty for the paint, plus our coverage on labour. Have you bought a property in the area and the facade or terrace has yellowish, peeling paint, or white 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, 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 the pigments. An inexpensive 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 price for tiling in La Sagrera usually ranges between 140 and 3550 euros. The final amount depends on the property's condition, materials, and working time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. The most common mistake is repainting a facade with interior paint or inexpensive 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, quality UV filters, and impact resistance. The cost difference per litre between the inexpensive and professional option is relatively small. The difference in years of durability far outweighs it.
