How we work

Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we'll reply in under 10 minutes during business hours. One of the most frequent calls we receive in autumn-winter is from homeowners who haven't painted their home for eight or ten years. They've noticed that the walls are no longer white but a hard-to-define yellowish-grey. Mediterranean light is very unforgiving to walls. Cheap white paints yellow with slow oxidation, especially in rooms with direct sun or near the kitchen where steam and suspended oil particles reach. Furniture marks, splashes from the passage of time, and small knocks on corners are cumulative. Matt emulsion paint is the standard option for ceilings and walls in rooms, living rooms, and bedrooms. It provides a uniform finish without reflections, hides surface imperfections, and is easy to apply. For high-traffic areas (hallways, stairs, entrances) and children's rooms where walls get dirtier, we recommend washable satin emulsion, which has a very slight sheen but allows you to clean off stains with a damp cloth without damaging the paint.

When to call for waterproofing in Eixample (Mataró)

When you repaint with a good quality white emulsion paint and two coats, the room changes radically, and the effect goes beyond the purely aesthetic. The sense of space increases. Light reflects better off the walls, so you need less artificial lighting. Furniture appears cleaner by contrast. And living in a freshly painted house feels different to living in one that needs a refresh. It's a modest investment with a disproportionate impact on daily well-being. For damp areas (kitchens, bathrooms), there are specific anti-damp and anti-mould emulsion paints that resist condensation and steam without generating black mould stains. Their application requires a primer with a fungicidal product if the wall already had mould traces. For doors, frames, skirting boards, and any interior woodwork, we use synthetic or water-based enamel. We now use water-based acrylic the most: it dries quickly, has no solvent odour, is washable, and durable. It's applied by spray gun or a very short-pile roller for a smooth finish. Never with a brush on large surfaces, as it leaves brush marks.

Materials and brands

Of course. Quality paints, masking tape, hardboard depending on the surface. When finished, everything is cleaned and vacuumed. 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 preliminary and follow-up steps that amateurs skip. Covering furniture, floors, and skirting boards with quality plastic sheeting. Applying precise masking tape to 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 completely dry. These details separate a paint job that lasts 8-10 years from one that looks neglected after a month. 30-day warranty on our workmanship. Official manufacturer's warranty (2-5 years depending on the brand) on the sanitaryware.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to paint a whole house?
An 80-100 m² home with a crew of 2 people takes 3-4 days to paint with two coats. If walls need repairing, smoothing out textured finishes, or treating dampness beforehand, add 2-3 days.
Do you paint exterior facades at height?
Yes, up to the second floor with our own lifting platforms. For taller buildings, we work with specialised companies that have vertical work permits.
Do you treat rising dampness?
Yes, using chemical barrier injection methods and waterproofing mortars. We guarantee the treatment for 5 years. Painting over without treating the dampness never works; it always comes back.
Do you do small, full renovations?
Yes, bathrooms and kitchens up to 15 m² are done completely: demolition, plumbing, electricity, tiling, sanitaryware, and painting. For larger renovations, we refer you to a specialised construction partner.
Do you cover and protect the house before painting?
Of course. We cover floors with hardboard or thick plastic, protect sockets and skirting boards with tape, and move light furniture. We will move heavy furniture to the centre of the room.
Is the quote free?
Yes, free of charge and with no obligation. A prior visit to measure and check the condition of the walls. A detailed quote by item within 24-48 hours.
