Painting with Gallardía
Panama's humidity, sun, and rain quickly deteriorate facades, so exteriors typically need repainting every 3 to 5 years. We use proper preparation (sanding, patching, sealer) to make the paint last, and we coordinate schedules in condominiums (PH) and commercial spaces to avoid disrupting operations.

Frequently asked questions

How often does repainting need to be done in Panama?
Exteriors typically need repainting every 3 to 5 years due to sun and rain; interiors last longer. An annual inspection helps detect peeling early.
Is surface preparation included?
Yes. We sand, patch cracks, and apply sealer or primer before painting, because proper preparation is what makes the finish last.
