The first step is substrate diagnosis. If the existing paint is well-adhered, we cover it. If it's flaking, we remove it completely with a spatula and sander, leaving the substrate clean. If there are structural cracks (not superficial), we treat them with elastic filler that accommodates minor 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 soon. This is the step most often skipped in quick repaints, but it has the biggest impact on durability. The third step is applying the final paint. For large facades, we use airless sprayers for a fast, uniform finish. For terraces and detail areas, we use good quality rollers. We always apply two cross coats (the first vertical, the second horizontal) to ensure even 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, chemical barrier injection is needed. Painting over without treating the source is always a waste of money. A full tiling of a 6 m² bathroom with medium-range materials, between €1,800 including labour. Treatment of rising damp on a 4-metre wall, between €600 and €1,500. A 12 m² room with a plasterboard false ceiling and LED spotlights, between €700 and €1,200. Saltpetre, especially on the frontline of the sea, penetrates exterior walls. The white efflorescence you see under the render are salts rising with moisture. Painting over without treating the source wastes time and money; the new paint will peel off in 6-8 months. The correct process is de-crusting, neutralising the salts with specific chemicals, and only then applying the paint system.

Procolor Termik, Tollens Aquastop, Bruguer Sol. Specific for exterior with UV filter. Official manufacturer warranty 8-10 years. The most common mistake is repainting a facade with interior paint or cheap 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-based 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 far outweighs it. We check the facade's condition and choose the appropriate paint system for the material and exposure.
