Matt emulsion paint is the standard choice for ceilings and walls in rooms, living rooms, and bedrooms. It provides a uniform finish without reflections, hides imperfections in the surface, and is easy to apply. For high-traffic areas (hallways, stairs, entrance halls) and children's rooms where walls get dirtier, we recommend washable satin emulsion, which has a very subtle sheen but allows you to clean off marks with a damp cloth without damaging the paint. One of the most frequent calls we receive in autumn-winter are from homeowners who haven't painted their homes in eight or ten years. They've noticed that the walls are no longer white, but a difficult-to-define yellowish-grey. Mediterranean light is unforgiving on walls. Cheap white paints yellow over time due to slow oxidation, especially in rooms with direct sun or near the kitchen where steam and suspended oil reach. Furniture marks, general wear and tear, and small knocks on corners are cumulative. The process is labour-intensive. We apply a thick levelling filler over the 'gotelé' and let it partially dry. We sand it with an orbital sander until the surface is perfectly smooth. We apply a sealing primer and two coats of emulsion paint. The dust generated during sanding is considerable. We cover the entire room with plastic sheeting before starting and vacuum carefully upon finishing. A standard 15 m² room, stripped and painted, takes 2-3 days of work.

When you repaint with good quality white emulsion paint and two coats, the room changes radically and the effect goes beyond the purely aesthetic. The feeling of spaciousness increases. Light reflects better off the walls, so you need less artificial lighting. Furniture appears cleaner by contrast. And living in a freshly painted house feels different from living in one that needs a refresh. It’s a modest investment with a disproportionately large impact on daily well-being. 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 preparation and finishing 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. Light sanding between coats for a perfect finish. Applying primer when the wall requires it. Removing the tape before the paint is fully 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 joinery, we use synthetic or water-based enamel. Water-based acrylic is what we use most nowadays: it dries quickly, is odourless, washable, and durable. It's applied by spray gun or a very short-pile roller for a smooth finish. Never with a brush on large surfaces as it leaves brush marks.

Of course. Quality plastic sheeting, masking tape, and cardboard as needed. Everything is cleaned and vacuumed upon completion. Have you bought a property in the area and the facade or terrace has yellowish, peeling paint or white stains? This isn't due to poor quality of the original paint. It's due to the harsh exposure conditions in 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. Sea 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. A specific paint for coastal climates with a reinforced UV filter will last 8-10 years looking good. Official manufacturer's warranty on the paint, plus our labour guarantee.

The price for flooring in El Poblenou typically ranges between €156 and €3,750. The final figure depends on the property's condition, materials, and labour time.

The most common mistake is repainting a facade with interior paint or cheap, large-surface exterior paint. It works the first year but visibly deteriorates by the second. You need to invest in specific exterior paint with acrylic or silicone resins, a quality UV filter, and impact resistance. The difference in cost per litre between cheap and professional paint is relatively small. The difference in years of durability more than compensates.
