Peeling paint — Alicante, Valencian Community
Peeling, bubbling, or flaking paint is often caused by moisture intrusion, poor surface preparation, or incompatible paint layers. Beyond looking unsightly, peeling exterior paint exposes wood to rot and insect damage. A professional painter will scrape, prime, and repaint the surface for a lasting finish.
Waarom dit veel voorkomt in Alicante
Salt air and intense UV cause exterior paint to degrade significantly faster than inland Spain — 5–7 year cycles versus 10+ years. Mediterranean-style render and stone facades require breathable silicate or silicone paint systems. Lead paint is common in pre-1980 buildings and requires certified removal.
