The first step is diagnosing the surface. 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 surface clean. If there are structural cracks (not superficial), we treat them with elastic putty that accommodates small building movements without cracking again. If there are saltpeter stains or white efflorescence, we remove them with a specific chemical product and neutralise before painting. The third step is applying the final coat of paint. For large facades, we use airless spray guns that provide a quick, 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 marks. The second step is priming. We apply a specific sealing primer that penetrates the surface 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 surface and could peel off soon. This is the step most often skipped in quick repaints but has the biggest impact on durability.

Filtration 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. Homes on the seafront have specific problems requiring extra treatment. Saltpeter settles on the wall and, with moisture, migrates into the substrate. When we paint over it, the salts continue their path and peel off the new paint within a few months. The solution is washing with specific chemicals before painting, neutralising, and applying a siloxane-type paint that allows the wall to breathe without letting water through. Many homes were built with peak season, summer, in mind. Minimum insulation, basic windows, sometimes non-existent boilers replaced by cheap electric radiators in each room. When the westerly winds blow and the temperature drops to 8 degrees at night, these electric radiators consume a huge amount of electricity and still leave the house cold.

We check the condition of the facade and choose the appropriate paint system for the material and exposure. 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. Marine saltpeter that settles on surfaces near the coast. Infrequent but torrential rains that wash away layers. And Saharan dust that becomes embedded in the pigments. An inexpensive white paint resistant to UV will last three summers under 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 coverage on labour.

The price for community cleaning in La Sagrera typically ranges from €59 to €545. The final amount depends on the property's condition, materials, and work time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. The most common mistake is repainting a facade with interior paint or inexpensive large-coverage exterior paint. It works the first year but visibly degrades by the second. It's essential to invest in specific exterior paint with acrylic or silicone resins, quality UV filters, and impact resistance. The cost difference per litre between inexpensive and professional paint is relatively small. The difference in years of durability more than compensates.
