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 peel off quickly. This is the step most often skipped in quick repaints but has the biggest impact on durability. The third step is applying the final 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-coated layers (the first vertically, the second horizontally) to ensure even coverage without marks. 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 a clean substrate. If there are structural cracks (not superficial), 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.

Dampness due to 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 addressing the source is always a waste of money. Yes, we organise work by rooms so you have unaffected areas. Water-based enamels with almost no odour allow you to live in the house during the work. For damp areas (kitchens, bathrooms), there are specific anti-damp and anti-mould plastic paints that resist condensation and steam without generating black mould stains. Application requires prior priming with a fungicidal product if the wall already had mould traces.

Procolor Termik, Tollens Aquastop, Bruguer Sol. Exterior specific with UV filter. Official manufacturer warranty 8-10 years. Official warranty from the paint manufacturer plus our labour coverage. Have you bought a property in the area and the facade or terrace has yellowing, peeling paint, or whitish 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), marine saltpetre depositing on surfaces near the coast, rare but torrential rains that wash away layers, and Saharan dust that embeds itself between pigments. An inexpensive white paint resistant to UV will 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 Provençals del Poblenou typically ranges from €170 to €5000. The final figure depends on the property's condition, materials, and labour time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. The most common mistake is repainting a facade with interior paint or inexpensive 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 resins, quality UV filter, and impact resistance. The cost difference per litre between inexpensive and professional paint is relatively small. The difference in years of duration more than compensates.
