The third step is the application of the final paint. For large façades, we use airless spray guns that provide a uniform finish quickly. For terraces and detail areas, we use a good quality roller. We always apply two crossed coats (the first vertical, the second horizontal) to ensure uniform coverage without marks. The second step is priming. We apply a specific sealing primer that penetrates the substrate and creates a uniform adhesion base for the final paint. Without correct priming, the final paint may not adhere well to the substrate and could peel off quickly. This is the step most often skipped in quick repaints but the one that most impacts durability. The first step is substrate diagnosis. If the existing paint is well adhered, we cover it. If it is flaking, we remove it completely with a spatula and sander, leaving the substrate clean. If there are structural cracks (not superficial), we treat them with elastic filler that accommodates small building movements without re-cracking. If there are salt stains or white efflorescence, we descale them with a specific chemical product and neutralise them before painting.

Coastal properties have specific problems that require extra treatment. Saltpetre deposits on the wall and, with humidity, migrates inside the substrate. When we paint over it, the salts continue their journey and peel off the new paint in a few months. The solution is washing with specific chemical products before painting, neutralisation, and application of siloxane-type paint that allows the wall to breathe without letting water through. Yes, we install programmers with mobile control and, if requested, a rain sensor to prevent watering when it has already rained. Very useful for absent owners. Most likely. A leak in a buried pipe can go unnoticed for months. We locate it, open up the minimum necessary, repair the section, and check that there is no phantom consumption.

The most common mistake is repainting a façade with interior paint or cheap exterior paint for large surfaces. It works for the first year but visibly degrades in the second. It is necessary to invest in specific exterior paint with acrylic or silicone resins, a quality UV filter, and impact resistance. The cost difference per litre between economical and professional paint is relatively small. The difference in years of durability more than compensates. Have you bought a house in the area and the façade or terrace has yellowed, peeling paint, or whitish stains? This is not due to poor quality original paint. It's because of 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; marine saltpetre that deposits on surfaces near the coast; rare but torrential rains that wash away layers; and Saharan dust that embeds itself between pigments. An economical white paint resistant to UV might last three summers under these conditions. A specific paint for coastal climates with reinforced UV filter lasts 8-10 years with a good appearance.
