At Tecnic Project , we have seen how façade renovations completely change the perception of a building and can boost its market value. We want to share our experience with you, explaining why renovating the façade is not just about beautifying the exterior, but can also represent a leap in quality in many aspects: energy savings, less maintenance and a more attractive style.
Have you ever stopped to look at the façade of your residential complex and thought that it looks dated? Perhaps it is not just a question of appearance. The façade protects the building from the elements, regulates the interior temperature and speaks of the personality of those who live there. For us, it is more than just a painted wall: it is the face of the property, a letter of introduction that determines the first impression received by any visitor or potential buyer.
In Mallorca, the climate can be a determining factor when choosing materials. The intense sun, humidity and proximity to the sea require solutions that are well suited to these challenges. That's why we are passionate about talking about this issue, as we believe that façade renovations should not be taken lightly.
Importance of facade renovations in revaluation
Aesthetics and image projection
A newly renovated building stands out at first glance. The impeccable paintwork and well-crafted details give a sense of order, something that many users associate with security and good maintenance. Those looking for a new home can appreciate the fact that they will not have to deal with costly future repairs.
We once worked on an apartment block that needed a complete modernization of the façade. We went from a grey, peeling finish to a brighter look with ceramic tiles and waterproof paint. After the project, we noticed that the community started receiving more requests for purchases and rentals from interested neighbors. That renovation reflected care and, indirectly, raised the status of the building.
Energy efficiency and lower maintenance
It's not all about appearance. By properly insulating the façade, heat loss or cold entry is reduced, which cuts electricity bills. When we talk about “efficiency,” we are referring to an aspect that influences the daily life and the pocketbooks of those who live in or manage the building.
In addition, many modern materials come with improvements such as waterproofing or self-cleaning. The latter may sound futuristic, but there are coatings that passively repel dirt, which translates into lower cleaning costs. A smart investment can radically change the annual maintenance expense.
Factors that influence the revaluation after a facade renovation
Selection of materials and techniques
The market offers a wide variety of products, from traditional plastering to composite panels. The key is to choose based on the desired style, the climate and the available budget. An interesting example is the SATE systems (exterior thermal insulation), which improve interior comfort and protect the structure.
Another highly sought-after technique is the use of acrylic mortars that seal pores and prevent water leaks. This prolongs the life of the façade and prevents damage to the structure. For buildings in coastal areas, we recommend materials resistant to salt corrosion, which will make the renovation last longer and add value.
Compliance with regulations and quality standards
For our part, we always remember that legality is essential. In Mallorca, each town hall can require prior licenses or special permits, especially in areas with urban planning restrictions. Skipping these steps can lead to sanctions and, in the long term, devalue the property. A work that complies with the rules transmits confidence to buyers.
The level of professionalism in the execution also affects the result: no cracks, no leak problems and clean finishes. In the end, poor sealing of joints or low-quality paint generate setbacks that could depreciate the building in a few years.
Location and previous status
It is obvious that refurbishing a façade in a sought-after area, such as central Palma or a coastal area, has a powerful impact. The building can go from “ordinary” to “high-profile,” attracting tenants willing to pay a premium. The previous state of the façade also dictates whether the renovation will be simple or will require complex reinforcement work.
For example, if the current cladding is about to come off or is cracking, the investment will be higher. However, this leap in quality could double everyone's satisfaction and peace of mind, as well as the market value. On the other hand, if the façade only needs a facelift, the revaluation may not reach such high figures, although there will always be a noticeable boost.
Case studies: Lessons learned and recommendations
Our experience has taught us several things. Firstly, planning every detail carefully helps to avoid cost overruns and disappointments. Making an initial diagnosis, defining what you want to achieve (more insulation, a more modern look, structural repairs) and adjusting the action plan makes all the difference.
Secondly, trust professionals who know the trends and technical requirements. In Mallorca, there is no shortage of stories of façade renovations carried out in a hurry that then require constant repairs. It is preferable to invest in materials and labour that guarantee durability and fewer subsequent incidents.
A memory we have: a community in a coastal area decided to apply special anti-corrosion paint and reinforcements to combat sea humidity. Thanks to this, the façade maintains an impeccable appearance, without visible damage or cracks, despite the passing of years. This combination of appropriate technique and choice of products adapted to the environment showed that the renovation does not have to be a short-term patch, but a solid advance that increases the value of the property.
