Project Description
On an eleven-building property, the painting is the predictable part. The harder work is keeping a management company, a board, and every resident aligned for four months. This condominium painting project covered all 11 buildings for a condo association in Everett, WA.
The siding and trim were coated in Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint Exterior, with Sherwin-Williams Pro Industrial used on the metal and high-contact surfaces that take the most wear. A boom lift provided access to the upper elevations across the property. Reaching those heights safely is what makes multi-story exterior work slower than it looks from the ground.
The commercial exterior painting ran four months from start to finish. Working building by building kept the property functional and gave residents a predictable schedule. That sequencing is what allows a property this size to stay occupied through a full repaint.
Background Story:
A condo association is not one client. It is a management company, a volunteer board, and a group of homeowners who each own part of what is being painted.
Each party needed something different. The board needed the scope and budget defended, the management company needed a schedule it could publish, and homeowners needed to know when work would reach their unit and their parking.
Getting those answers out ahead of the work is what kept the project moving. On multi-building properties, most delays are not caused by weather or paint. They come from decisions that stall because the people making them were not given information early enough.
Scope of Services:
- Multi-Building Exterior Painting: All 11 buildings were painted to a consistent standard across the entire property.
- Boom Lift Access: A boom lift was used to reach the upper elevations safely on multi-story buildings.
- Surface Preparation: Exterior surfaces were prepared before coating so the finish would adhere and hold up.
- Metal and High-Contact Surfaces: A commercial-grade coating was applied where surfaces take heavy contact and wear.
- Project Coordination: Scheduling was coordinated with the management company, the board, and residents throughout the project.
Paint Products Used:
- Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint Exterior (siding and trim)
- Sherwin-Williams Pro Industrial (metal and high-contact surfaces)
Results:
All 11 buildings now carry the same finish, which is what makes a multi-building property read as one community instead of a set of separate structures. Consistency across buildings is the result an association is actually buying.
The property stayed occupied and functional for the full four months. Residents kept access to their homes and parking, and the board had a schedule it could share with confidence.
If you manage a condominium association or serve on a board, paint quality is only half of what you are hiring. The other half is a contractor who can run a multi-building schedule without turning your inbox into a complaint line.
