Why Santa Cruz de Tenerife homes get this: Salt-and-trade-wind humidity and year-round sun shorten Tenerife's exterior paint cycles, keeping repainting on a continuous rota rather than a seasonal one. Island lead times affect specialist-coating supply, the IGIC regime lowers material and labour costs, and the expat-retiree base sustains interior repainting demand.
