Paint peeling from exterior trim — Alicante, Valencian Community
Peeling paint on exterior trim (window frames, fascia, soffits, door casings) exposes wood to moisture, leading to rot, insect damage, and costly replacements if ignored. A professional painter can scrape, prime, and repaint trim to restore protection and curb appeal.
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.
