The first step is substrate 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 substrate clean. If there are structural cracks (not superficial ones), we treat them with elastic filler that accommodates small building 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 adhesion base for the final paint. Without the correct primer, the final paint may not adhere well to the substrate and peel off quickly. This is the step most often skipped in quick repaintings, but it has the biggest impact on durability. The third step is applying the final paint. For large facades, we use airless spray guns for a quick, uniform finish. For terraces and detailed areas, we use good quality rollers. We always apply two cross coats (the first vertical, the second horizontal) to ensure uniform coverage without marks.

Damp from leaks 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 without treating the source is always a waste of money. Matte and satin plastic paint for interiors, synthetic enamel for doors and skirting boards, 'gotelé' texture on old ceilings if the client wants to keep it, single-coat paint for exteriors and facades, and elastic coatings for walls with structural cracks. We work with professional brands like Procolor, Tollens, Bruguer, and Titan depending on the surface type. Damp treatment is a separate matter. The Costa Blanca has serious issues with rising damp in ground-floor properties and leaks from flat roofs. We apply waterproofing mortars, barrier injections against rising damp, and breathable coatings that let the wall breathe without the paint flaking off.

We check the facade's condition and choose the paint system appropriate for the material and exposure. Official manufacturer's warranty for the paint plus our labour coverage. Have you bought a property in the area and the facade or terrace has yellowish, peeling paint or whitewash 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. Sea saltpetre deposited on surfaces near the coast. Rare but torrential rains that strip layers. And Saharan dust that embeds itself between the pigments. An economical white paint resistant to UV would 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 waterproofing in Bellvitge typically ranges from €170 to €5,000. The final figure 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-area 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 cheap and professional option is relatively small. The difference in years of durability more than makes up for it.
