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 to the substrate and peel off quickly. This is the step most often skipped in quick repaints but has the most impact on durability. The third step is applying the final paint. For large facades, we use airless spray guns for a fast, uniform finish. For terraces and detailed areas, we use a good quality roller. We always apply two cross-coats (the first vertical, the second horizontal) to ensure uniform 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 from water ingress requires extra treatment. If water is entering from the roof, the roof must be repaired first. If it's rising damp from the ground, a chemical barrier injection is needed. Painting over without treating the source is always a waste of money. Yes, we organise work by room 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 spots. Their application requires prior priming with a fungicide if the wall already had traces of mould.

Procolor Termik, Tollens Aquastop, Bruguer Sol. Exterior-specific with UV filter. 8-10 year manufacturer official warranty. Official manufacturer warranty for the paint plus our labour coverage. 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 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 that deposits on surfaces near the coast. Rare but torrential rains that wash away layers. And Saharan dust that embeds itself within the pigments. An economical 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 Sant Andreu typically ranges from €170 to €5,000. The final figure depends on the property's condition, materials, and work time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. The most common mistake is repainting a facade with interior paint or economical large-area exterior paint. It works the first year but visibly degrades by the second. You must invest in specific exterior paint with acrylic or silicone resins, a quality UV filter, and impact resistance. The difference in cost per litre between economical and professional paint is relatively small. The difference in years of duration provides a comfortable margin.
