Documented handover
Final photo report and written warranty for the community.
What should a community demand before voting?
Three things: an honest diagnosis of the substrate (repainting is not the same as repairing structural cracks), an itemised quote the board can genuinely compare, and a realistic calendar that respects residents. Our quotes always separate repairs, access equipment and coating system, with a photo report of the current condition — the administrator presents it to the board as-is, and owners know exactly what they’re voting on. We’ll attend the junta to answer questions if useful.
The right coating for each facade
The technical choice matters more than the brand. Sound render gets a high-durability smooth acrylic; micro-cracked surfaces get an elastic crack-bridging coating so the cracks don’t reappear within months; brick and salt-affected substrates get breathable pliolite paint. A facade gets repainted every 10-15 years — the wrong system fails regardless of quality, and cheap material is the most expensive choice spread over those years. The community always receives the applied system’s datasheet.
What is the work like for the people living through it?
A facade is voted in a meeting but endured on the landing — we know. Advance notice in the lobby with the phased schedule, respectful hours, entrances protected and cleaned every evening, stairwells done in sections so passage never stops. The administrator has a direct site contact and weekly photo reports; residents get a site that advances without turning the building into a camp. Handover includes a photo report and a written warranty for the system applied.
And the price?
Published and explained: €12–22 per m² in 2026, with the factors that move the range (substrate, height, access equipment) broken down in the facade price guide — written so administrators and boards can compare offers properly. If the building is scaffolding up anyway, it’s also the moment to inspect the roof: see terrace waterproofing.
Frequently asked questions
How does building painting work with a Spanish homeowners' community?
The community board (junta) votes on quotes presented by the property administrator. We prepare itemised, comparable quotes with a photo report of the current condition, and can attend the junta to answer questions — in Spanish or English.
What safety guarantees do you carry for height work?
Liability insurance specifically covering facade and height work, trained personnel, certified access equipment and regulation street signage. A contractor without this is a direct risk for the community that hires them.
How do you minimise disruption for residents?
Notice in the lobby with a phased calendar, respectful working hours, protected entrances cleaned daily, and stairwells painted in sections so passage is never blocked. The administrator gets one site contact and weekly photo reports.
Do you handle permits?
Yes — scaffolding or lifts on public streets need an occupation permit, and we manage the whole process plus signage.
Does the price include crack and render repair?
Basic repair is included in our ranges. Structural work (live cracks, exposed rebar) is quoted as a separate line after inspection — always with photos and measurements, never as a mid-job surprise.
How much does a facade cost?
€12–22 per m² in 2026 depending on substrate and access. The full guide for comparing offers, with each line item explained, is on our facade price page.
