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), we treat them with flexible filler that accommodates minor building movements without re-cracking. If there are saltpetre stains or white efflorescence, we scrub them off 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 base for the final paint to adhere to. Without the correct primer, the final paint may not bond well to the substrate and can peel off quickly. This is the step most often skipped in quick repaints, but it has the biggest impact on durability.

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. For doors, frames, skirting boards, and any interior joinery, we use synthetic or water-based enamel. We most commonly use water-based acrylic today: it dries fast, has no solvent smell, is washable, and durable. It's applied by spray gun or a very short-haired roller for a smooth finish. Never with a brush on large surfaces, as it leaves marks. Many people say painting is easy. It's true, anyone can pick up a roller. The difference between an amateur's result and a professional's lies in the preparatory and finishing steps that amateurs skip. Covering furniture, floors, and skirting boards with quality plastic. Applying masking tape precisely along 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 the tape before the paint is fully dry. These details separate paint that lasts 8-10 years from paint that looks neglected within a month.

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 quality acrylic or silicone resins, a good UV filter, and impact resistance. The cost difference per litre between economical and professional paint is relatively small. The difference in years of durability far outweighs it. The third step is applying the final coat of paint. For large facades, we use airless spray guns that provide a fast, 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 brush marks. We inspect the facade's condition and choose the appropriate paint system for the material and exposure.

The price for waterproofing in La Torrassa typically ranges from €170 to €5000. The final figure depends on the property's condition, materials, and labour time.

For taps, we always recommend anti-limescale ceramic cartridges and chrome-plated brass instead of chrome-plated plastics, which peel in 3-4 years. The price difference between a cheap single-lever tap and a good one is modest, but the difference in durability is huge.
