Process of a painting project

The preparation of surfaces determines the final result: filling cracks, sanding old layers, and dusting always precede the application of the paint itself.

Our painters protect floors and furniture before each intervention, with a two-coat application to ensure a uniform and durable finish over time.

A standard painting project lasts from two to five days for a complete home, a timeframe that mainly depends on the condition of the surfaces to be treated before application.

Common mistakes to avoid

Neglecting surface preparation

This is the most frequent mistake made by individuals repainting themselves: applying directly onto a poorly prepared wall results in a finish that quickly flakes off, forcing a complete redo a few months later. The time spent on preparation often represents more than half of the total duration of a successful painting project.

Underestimating the number of necessary coats

A radical color change, especially from dark to light, almost always requires an additional primer coat before applying the final shade. Without this step, the original color often shows through the new paint, a flaw particularly visible under direct natural light.

Painting and energy renovation, a link not to be overlooked

A façade repainted with a quality water-repellent product limits water infiltration into the masonry, which indirectly helps preserve the thermal performance of the wall in the long term.

Inside, a light paint in rooms with little natural light reduces the need for artificial lighting during the day, a simple detail that also contributes to the household's energy savings.

Regulations and grants in Wallonia

Painting work carried out as part of a broader renovation benefits from a 6% VAT for a property occupied for more than ten years.

A façade painting with water-repellent treatment can sometimes be part of an energy improvement project eligible for regional grants, to be verified on a case-by-case basis according to your situation.

Why choose Avenir Rénovations for your painting

A meticulous preparation of surfaces

We dedicate the necessary time to preparing the walls, the essential condition for a smooth and durable result, without marks, bubbles, or premature peeling.

Support in choosing shades

Our painters guide the choice of products according to the surfaces and the desired atmosphere, with samples to visualize the result before final project approval.

A clean site and respect for deadlines

Floors and furniture are systematically protected, with a final cleaning that leaves the home immediately usable after the work, without lingering odors or construction residue.

Number of coats, surface preparation, and lifespan

Two coats are generally sufficient on a well-prepared surface, three may be necessary for a radical color change or a very absorbent surface. Painting over old flaking paint requires prior preparation: the surface must be sanded and treated to ensure the adhesion of the new paint and avoid rapid peeling again. Generally, expect a lifespan of ten to fifteen years for a quality façade paint applied correctly, a timeframe that varies according to exposure and the quality of the product used.

Specific interior painting and facade renovation

A specific paint for humid rooms, resistant to condensation and washable, remains the most suitable choice for a bathroom. Repainting a facade with exposed bricks is possible with suitable breathable products that allow the wall to expel moisture, an essential point for the old buildings of the Charleroi basin; expect two to five days for a standard painting project, a timeframe that mainly depends on the preparation of the surfaces. It is possible to treat a locally degraded area of the facade rather than the whole, but a color match remains visible if the rest of the facade has aged differently due to sun and weather exposure.
