The third step is applying the final coat of paint. For large facades, we use airless sprayers that provide a fast, uniform finish. For terraces and detailed areas, we use good quality rollers. We always apply two cross-coats (the first vertically, the second horizontally) 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 could peel off soon after. This is the step most often skipped in quick repaints, 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 peeling, we remove it completely with a scraper and sander, leaving the substrate clean. If there are structural cracks (not superficial ones), we treat them with flexible filler that accommodates the building's slight movements without cracking again. If there are saltpetre stains or white efflorescence, we remove them with a specific chemical product and neutralise before painting.

Properties on the front line of the sea have specific problems that require extra treatment. Saltpetre deposits on the wall and, with moisture, migrates into the substrate. When we paint over it, the salts continue their path and cause the new paint to peel off within a few months. The solution is washing with specific chemicals before painting, neutralisation, and application of a siloxane-type paint that allows the wall to breathe without letting water in. Yes, we organise by room so you have unaffected areas. Water-based enamels with almost no odour 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 preparatory and finishing steps that the amateur skips. Covering furniture, floors, and skirting boards with quality dust sheets. Applying precise masking tape at 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 after a month.

The most common mistake is repainting a facade with interior paint or cheap exterior paint for large surfaces. It works 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 difference in cost per litre between cheap and professional paint is relatively small. The difference in years of durability more than makes up for it. Have you bought a property in the area and the facade or terrace has yellowish, 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. Sea salt that deposits on surfaces near the coast. Rare but torrential rains that wash away layers. And Saharan dust that gets embedded in the pigments. A cheap white paint resistant to UV would last three summers under these conditions. Specific paint for coastal climates with enhanced UV filter lasts 8-10 years looking good. Manufacturer's official warranty plus our labour guarantee.
