The third step is applying the final coat. For large facades, we use airless spray guns for a uniform, fast finish. For terraces and detailed areas, we use a good quality roller. We always apply two cross-coats (the first vertical, the second horizontal) to ensure even coverage without marks. The second step is priming. We apply a specific sealing primer that penetrates the surface and creates a uniform base for the final paint to adhere to. Without proper priming, the final paint may not adhere well to the surface and peel off quickly. It's the step most often skipped in quick repaint jobs but the one that most impacts durability. The first step is surface diagnosis. 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 surface clean. If there are structural cracks (not superficial), we treat them with elastic filler that accommodates minor building movements without cracking again. If there are saltpetre or white efflorescence stains, we remove them with a specific chemical product and neutralise them before painting.

Homes on the seafront have specific problems requiring extra treatment. Saltpetre deposits on the wall and, with moisture, migrates into the substrate. When we paint over it, the salts continue their path and cause the new paint to peel within months. The solution is washing with specific chemicals before painting, neutralisation, and application of a siloxane-type paint that allows the wall to breathe without letting water through. Yes, we organise by room so you have unaffected areas. Water-based enamels with almost no odour allow you to live in the house during the work. Many people say painting is easy. That's true, anyone can pick up a roller. The difference between an amateur and professional result lies in the preliminary and finishing steps that amateurs skip. Covering furniture, floors, and skirting boards with quality plastic. Applying precise masking tape on edges and corners. Filling small holes and cracks with specific filler before painting, not after. Sanding between coats for a perfect finish. Applying primer when the wall requires it. Removing tape before the paint is fully dry. These details separate a paint job that lasts 8-10 years from one that looks neglected after a month.

The most common mistake is repainting a facade with interior paint or cheap exterior paint. It works the first year but deteriorates visibly by the second. You must invest in specific exterior paint with acrylic or silicone resins, a quality UV filter, and impact resistance. The cost difference per litre between economy and professional paint is relatively small. The difference in years of durability makes up for it with a margin. Have you bought a property in the area and the facade or terrace has yellowing, peeling, or whitish 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, 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. An economical white paint resistant to UV will last three summers in these conditions. Specific paint for coastal climates with an enhanced UV filter lasts 8-10 years looking good.
