The third step is the application of the final coat of paint. For large facades, we use airless sprayers, which provide a quick, uniform finish. For terraces and detailed areas, we use high-quality rollers. We always apply two cross coats (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 to the substrate and can peel off quickly. This is the step most often skipped in quick repaint jobs, but it has the biggest impact on durability. 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 scraper and sander, leaving a clean surface. If there are structural cracks (not superficial), we treat them with flexible filler that accommodates minor building movements without cracking again. If there are saltpetre stains or white efflorescence, we remove them with a specific chemical product and neutralize before painting.

Properties on the front line of the sea have specific problems that require extra treatment. Saltpetre settles on the wall and, with moisture, migrates into the substrate. When we paint over it, the salts continue their path and cause new paint to flake off within months. The solution is washing with specific chemicals before painting, neutralization, and applying a siloxane-type paint that allows the wall to breathe without letting water pass. Yes, we organise by rooms so you have unaffected areas. Our low-odour water-based gloss paints allow you to live in the house during the work. 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 subsequent 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 paintwork that lasts 8-10 years from paintwork that looks neglected within a month.

The most common mistake is repainting a facade with interior paint or cheap large-surface exterior paint. It works for the first year but visibly degrades by the second. You need to invest in specific exterior paint with quality acrylic or silicone resins, UV filters, and impact resistance. The cost difference per litre between cheap and professional paint is relatively small. The difference in years of durability far outweighs it. Have you bought a property in the area and the facade or terrace paint is yellowing, flaking, or has 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, constant sun (over 300 days a year of direct UV radiation), marine saltpetre that settles on surfaces near the coast, rare but torrential rains that wash away layers, and Saharan dust that embeds itself between pigments. A cheap white paint resistant to UV will last three summers in these conditions. A specific paint for coastal climates with an enhanced UV filter will last 8-10 years looking good.
