osmo hard wax style beams
Rustic wooden beams painted with clear or colored Hard Waxoil. Depending on the style of the property, we can offer super smooth finished walls with matt or satin acrylic wall paints that are washable, anti-fungal or anti-humidity. We can adapt to the circumstances.

We adhere to the highest quality standards; arrive on time, and work straight through to completion, offering excellent value for the money.

Ceilings, beams, walls, windows…

We have applied all kinds of paint on every imaginable surface, using all sorts of techniques. We work carefully, but effectively, whether the surfaces are low, high, complex, basic, rustic or modern.

    • Concrete beams and terracota infills, all painted the same or with different systems and colors – matt, satin, gloss…acrylic, lime, chalk…
    • Badly stained ceilings are sealed with stain-blocking primers. For a permanent white finish, in many cases a layer of emulsion/latex paint is not necessary.
    • Pigmented lime wall paint to decorate any modern or ancient building is also an elegant solution to treat damp surfaces.

All the ideas mentioned above are applicable to houses, apartments, masías, hotels, restaurants, churches, workshops or almacenes.

More than 30 years of experience working on the tools, applying the knowledge and principles that the master painters at the Technical College drummed into us from 1981-84.

High standards follow naturally when working methodically and with understanding.

We love to paint but first we mask up using the right tapes for each surface, then we clean, repair, sand and seal.

High standards do not necessarily mean high prices by default.

We know many high-end materials, specifications and time-saving techniques. While premium materials are expensive these days, they represent

  • a small percentage of the total cost of a project
  • better long-term value than lesser, cheaper options.
  • paying more upfront allows us to be competitive, sometimes even cheap, but never sacrificing a finish we can trust.

A blend of tradition and innovation

traditional and modern hand tools
Each tool, abrasive, paint, and filler has its place. There is no such thing as a perfect tool, brush, or spray gun, so choosing the right equipment and materials is just as important as knowing how to work with them.

Sometimes we crave something out of the ordinary.

Restore a wooden front door with several layers of enamel for the spectacular “10 Downing Street” look.

Painted with a brush and prepared with linseed-based fillers.

Are you an artist looking for an expert who knows how to prepare any surface for your masterpiece?

Restore painted or varnished surfaces at home to the level of the paintwork on wooden boats!
Restoring a pair of traditional 13m ketches, a wooden motor yacht – for me they were all the same – very complicated, due to the curved structure, but it was a privilege.

It’s difficult, but as you can see, 4 layers of primer, kilos of linseed filler, hundreds of meters of cotton, and a three-layer finish applied by hand with Dutch Bootlac from Epifanes; the result is worth the effort.

Problem surfaces – no problem

Any problem caused by soot, nicotine, grease, incompatible materials, textured ceilings, moisture – we know how to properly prepare the damaged surfaces and which problem-solving paint to use.

“Easy” challenges
    • Banged up frames – restored with multiple layers of fillers and paint.
    • Wood with water stains – clean with oxalic acid.
    • Bring wood to life with a stain that hardly wears away.
    • Tiles – Cover up ugly designs with a smooth layer of permanent paintable filler.
    • Goodbye gotelé, hello smooth plaster.
    • Untreated wooden fences – primer and colour in two coats.

Traditional Colours coming soon!

The right paint for the job in a traditional colour can transform a dull and dreary room into a truly welcoming space where you wonder, “Why did I always go for safe white and off-white?”

Traditional colours beyond aníl and ochre.

Farrow and Ball and Little Greene are UK paint companies that have revolutionized colour and made traditional paint colours relevant in a modern world. Grounded in heritage, with fun names like “Elephants Breath”.

One of the biggest technical advances in the paint industry has been the tinting machine. Painters can now specify the paint they can rely on, tinted with precision in a colour their clients want.

For now, we only offer high-performance acrylic enamels in traditional colours for kitchen cabinets and furniture. However, the goal is to offer all kinds of accurately mixed paint in an impressive range of colors.

This way, farmhouses, hotels and restaurants, and even contemporary apartments and old houses can be transformed into beautiful spaces that we affectionately call “a boring colour-free zone”.

Of course, we can always offer a few thousand RAL colors or off-whites if necessary.

Advisory services

From 2009, I spent about 10 years in a network of independent kitchen and furniture painting specialists in the UK.

I marketed the members’ services to the general public and was also responsible for developing the platform into one of the leading online resources for painting and decorating.
