If the existing paint is well-adhered, we will cover it. If it's peeling, we will remove it completely with a spatula and sander, leaving the substrate clean. If there are structural cracks (not superficial ones), we treat them with flexible sealant that accommodates minor building movements without re-cracking. If there are saltpeter stains or white efflorescence, we remove them with a specific chemical product and neutralise before painting. The third step is the application of the final paint. For large facades, we use airless spray guns for a quick, uniform finish. For terraces and detailed areas, we use a high-quality roller. We always apply two cross-applied coats (the first vertical, the second horizontal) to ensure even coverage without brush marks.

Seepage dampness requires extra treatment. If water is entering from the roof, the roof must be repaired first. If it's rising damp from the ground, it requires chemical barrier injection. Painting over it without treating the source is always a waste of money. Properties on the front line of the sea have specific issues that require extra treatment. Saltpeter deposits on the wall and, with moisture, migrates into the substrate. When we paint over it, the salts continue their path and peel the new paint within months. The solution is washing with specific chemicals before painting, neutralisation, and applying a siloxane-type paint that allows the wall to breathe without letting water in. “They look after our garden all year round even though we spend six months in England. They come every two weeks, send us photos, and the house is always perfect when we return.

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. It is essential 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 makes up for it. We check the facade's condition and choose the appropriate painting system for the material and exposure. Have you bought a property in the area and the facade or terrace has yellowish, peeling, or whitish-stained paint? It's not due to poor quality of the 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 saltpeter that deposits on surfaces near the coast, rare but torrential rains that wash away layers, and Saharan dust that embeds itself in the pigments. An economical white paint resistant to UV will last about three summers in these conditions. Specific paint for coastal climates with reinforced UV filter will last 8-10 years with good appearance.

The price for community cleaning in El Baix Guinardó typically ranges between €59 and €545. The final amount depends on the property's condition, materials, and labour time.
