We do waterproofing in Pallejà. We visit the property, assess the work, give you a clear price, and start. Water ingress from leaks requires extra treatment. If water is coming in 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.

For large facades, we use airless sprayers that provide a quick, uniform finish. For terraces and detail areas, we use good quality rollers. We always apply two cross-coated layers (the first vertical, the second horizontal) to ensure uniform coverage without brush marks. 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 adhere well and could peel off quickly. This is the step most often skipped in quick repaints but has the biggest impact on durability.

When to call for waterproofing in Pallejà

Properties on the front line of the sea have specific issues that require extra treatment. Saltpetre deposits on the wall and, with moisture, migrates inwards. When we paint over it, the salts continue their path and peel off the new paint within months. The solution is washing with specific chemicals before painting, neutralising, and applying a siloxane-type paint that allows the wall to breathe without letting water through. Many people say painting is easy. It's true, anyone can pick up a roller. The difference between an amateur and a professional result lies in the preparatory and finishing steps that amateurs skip. Covering furniture, floors, and skirting boards with quality plastic. Applying masking tape precisely at 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 within a month. For doors, frames, skirting boards, and any interior woodwork, we use synthetic or water-based enamel. We mostly use water-based acrylic nowadays: it dries fast, has no solvent odour, is washable, and durable. It's applied by spray gun or with a very short-haired roller for a smooth finish. Never with a brush on large surfaces, as it leaves marks.

Materials and brands

The most common mistake is repainting a facade with interior paint or cheap exterior paint for large areas. It looks good the first year but visibly degrades by the second. You must invest in specific exterior paint with acrylic or silicone resins, quality UV filters, and impact resistance. The cost difference per litre between cheap and professional paint is relatively small. The difference in years of durability offers a significant return. Have you bought a property in the area and the facade or terrace has yellowish, peeling paint or white 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, constant sun, over 300 days a year of direct UV radiation. Marine salt that deposits on surfaces near the coast. Rare but torrential rains that wash away layers. And Saharan dust that embeds itself between the pigments. A cheap white paint resistant to UV will last three summers in these conditions. Specific paint for coastal climates with enhanced UV filter will last 8-10 years looking good. Official manufacturer's warranty for the paint, plus our coverage on labour.

Indicative price

The price for waterproofing in Pallejà typically ranges between €170 and €5000. The final figure depends on the property's condition, materials, and work time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we'll reply in under 10 minutes during business hours. For taps, we always recommend anti-limescale ceramic cartridges and chrome-plated brass instead of chrome-plated plastic, which peels within 3-4 years. The price difference between a cheap single-lever tap and a good one is modest, but the difference in durability is enormous.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to paint a whole home?
An 80-100 m² home with a 2-person crew is painted in 3-4 days with two coats. If walls need repairing, smoothing out textured finishes, or treating damp patches beforehand, add 2-3 days.
Do you paint exterior facades at height?
Yes, up to the second floor using our own lifting platforms. For taller buildings, we work with specialised companies with vertical work permits.
Do you treat rising damp?
Yes, using chemical barrier injection methods and waterproofing mortars. We guarantee the treatment for 5 years. Painting over damp without treating the cause never works; it always returns.
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 clients 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 shift heavier items to the centre of the room.
Is the quote free?
Yes, free and with no obligation. A prior visit to measure and check the wall condition. A detailed quote by item within 24-48 hours.
