We lay flooring in Gavà. We visit the property, assess the job, give you a clear price, and start. For doors, frames, skirting boards, and any interior woodwork, we use synthetic or water-based enamel. Water-based acrylic is what we use most nowadays: it dries quickly, has no solvent smell, is washable, and durable. It's applied by spray gun or a very short-pile roller for a smooth finish. Never by brush on large surfaces as it leaves marks.

How we work

The process is labour-intensive. We apply a thick levelling filler over the textured plaster and let it partially dry. We sand it with an orbital sander until the surface is completely smooth. We then 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 when finished. A standard 15 m² room, smoothed and painted, takes 2-3 days of work. One of the most frequent calls we receive in autumn and winter are from homeowners who haven't painted their house in eight or ten years. They've realised the walls are no longer white, but a difficult-to-define greyish-yellow. The Mediterranean light is very unforgiving to 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 the walls. Marks from furniture, the splashes of time, and small knocks on corners are cumulative. Matte emulsion paint is the standard choice for ceilings and walls in rooms, living rooms, and bedrooms. It provides a uniform finish without glare, hides imperfections in the substrate, and is easy to apply. For high-traffic areas (hallways, staircases, entrances) and for children's rooms where walls get dirtier, we recommend a washable satin emulsion paint, which has a very slight sheen but allows dirty marks to be cleaned with a damp cloth without damaging the paint.

When to call for flooring in Gavà

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 preparatory 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. 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. 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 disproportionate impact on daily well-being. For damp areas (kitchens, bathrooms), there are specific anti-humidity and anti-mould emulsion paints that resist condensation and steam without generating black mould stains. Application requires a preliminary primer with a fungicidal product if the wall already had traces of mould.

Materials and brands

Of course. Quality plastic sheeting, masking tape, and foam board depending on the surface. Everything is cleaned and vacuumed upon completion. The most common mistake is repainting a facade with interior paint or economical large-surface 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 durability yields a significant return. The third step is applying the final paint. For large facades, we use airless spray guns which provide a quick, uniform finish. For terraces and detailed areas, we use a good quality roller. We always apply two cross coats (the first vertically, the second horizontally) to ensure uniform coverage without brush marks.
