The second step is priming. We apply a specific sealing primer that penetrates the substrate and creates a uniform adhesive base for the final paint. Without proper priming, the final paint may not adhere well to the substrate and can peel off quickly. This is the step most often skipped in quick repaints, but it has the biggest impact on durability. The third step is applying the final paint. For large facades, we use airless spray guns for a fast, uniform finish. For terraces and detailed areas, we use high-quality rollers. We always apply two crosswise coats (the first vertical, the second horizontal) to ensure uniform coverage without brush marks. 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 spatula and sander, leaving a clean substrate. If there are structural cracks (not superficial), we treat them with elastic filler that accommodates small building movements without re-cracking. If there are saltpetre stains or white efflorescence, we remove them with a specific chemical product and neutralise before painting.

Properties on the frontline of the sea have specific problems that require extra treatment. Saltpetre deposits on the wall and, with moisture, migrates into the substrate. When painted over, the salts continue their path and peel the new paint off 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 through. 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 a chemical barrier injection. Painting over it without treating the source is always a waste of money. We dismantle mosquito nets when possible, wash and reassemble them. We clean guide rails and shutter boxes where local sand accumulates.

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 acrylic or silicone resins, quality UV filter, and impact resistance. The cost difference per litre between cheap and professional is relatively small. The difference in years of durability more than compensates. Official manufacturer warranty for the paint, plus our labour coverage. 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 saltpetre that deposits on surfaces near the coast. Rare but torrential rains that wash away layers. And Saharan dust that embeds itself between the pigments. A cheap white paint resistant to UV will last three summers in these conditions. A specific paint for coastal climates with enhanced UV protection will look good for 8-10 years.
