Our comprehensive exterior painting process is designed for efficiency and lasting results, typically completed within 2-5 days for an average-sized property.

1. 1

   Initial Assessment & Quote (1-2 hours)

   We begin with a thorough site visit to evaluate the surface condition, discuss your colour preferences, and provide a detailed, transparent quote. This includes assessing any necessary repairs or specialised treatments.

2. 2

   Surface Preparation (1-2 days)

   This crucial step involves cleaning the entire exterior, often using pressure washing to remove dirt, mildew, and loose paint. We then repair cracks, fill holes, and sand rough areas to ensure a smooth, stable base for the new paint. Masking windows, doors, and fixtures is also completed.

3. 3

   Primer Application (1 day)

   A high-quality primer is applied to seal porous surfaces, improve adhesion of the topcoat, and ensure uniform colour. This step is particularly important for previously unpainted surfaces or when changing colours dramatically.

4. 4

   Topcoat Application (1-2 days)

   We apply two coats of premium exterior paint, allowing adequate drying time between applications. Our skilled painters ensure even coverage and a flawless finish, paying close attention to architectural details and trim work. Final inspection and clean-up conclude the project.

It's time to consider professional exterior painting when you notice any of the following issues:

• Visible Cracking or Peeling

  This indicates the existing paint has lost its integrity and is no longer protecting the underlying structure.

• Fading or Discolouration

  Sun exposure and general weathering can dull your property's appearance, making it look tired and unmaintained.

• Mould or Mildew Growth

  Persistent dark spots, especially on shaded or damp walls, suggest moisture retention that paint can help mitigate.

• Preparing for Sale

  A fresh coat of paint significantly improves curb appeal, potentially increasing property value and attracting buyers.

• Routine Maintenance

  Even without obvious damage, painting every 5-10 years, depending on exposure, is essential preventative maintenance.

We only use high-performance paints and materials specifically formulated for exterior applications in the Barcelonès climate. Our selection prioritises durability, UV resistance, and excellent adhesion. Key brands we frequently work with include Jotun, known for their robust exterior finishes and advanced protective properties, and Titanlux, a Spanish brand offering a wide range of weather-resistant paints. We also utilise Valentine for their comprehensive colour palettes and long-lasting performance. For surface preparation, we rely on quality fillers and sealants from Sika. Common materials include acrylic latex paints for their flexibility and breathability, elastomeric coatings for superior crack bridging, and anti-mould additives to combat humidity. For specific needs, we can also source mineral paints or silicates for older, breathable facades.

The cost of exterior painting in Sant Adrià de Besòs can vary significantly, typically ranging from €120 for minor touch-ups to €2,325 for extensive projects. The median price for a standard property is around €1,223. This variation is primarily due to several factors: the total surface area to be painted, the condition of the existing surfaces requiring preparation (e.g., extensive scraping, crack repair), the type and quality of paint selected (premium elastomeric paints cost more than standard acrylics), the accessibility of the work areas (scaffolding or special equipment incurs additional costs), and the complexity of architectural details. Our quotes are always transparent, detailing labour, materials, and any necessary equipment hire, providing a clear breakdown of your investment.
