Caroline is on the Scene to take a closer look at a major exterior repairs and paint project across a multifamily property! This is a large scope with work happening across the site, and it is a great example of how much coordination goes into a full exterior refresh. From prep work to repairs to paint, this project touches a wide range of building components and shows the scale of what it takes to keep a property looking clean and cohesive.
Starting With Prep Work
Every strong exterior project starts with the right prep. This scope includes pressure washing exterior surfaces, scraping and sanding loose paint, caulking around doors, windows, and trim, and priming bare and repaired areas before paint is applied. Caroline highlights how important this phase is because it creates the foundation for everything that comes next and helps support a more consistent finish across the property.
A Property Wide Paint Scope
This project covers 264 residential units and 48 carports, making it a broad exterior scope from the start. The paint work includes exterior walls, siding, stucco, trim, fascia, soffits, eaves, chimney stacks, doors and frames, railings, balconies, utility and storage doors, gutters, downspouts, carport columns and beams, and roof framing. With this much ground to cover, consistency matters, and this project shows how a coordinated paint scope can help bring a property together visually.
Repairs Throughout the Site
What makes this project stand out is that it goes far beyond paint alone. The repair scope includes gutter cleaning, siding replacement with new Hardie siding, stucco repair and replacement, stair tread work, crack sealing at landings, balcony rebuilds, window reseals, soffit and vent repairs, downspout work, and cedar replacement across multiple buildings. There are also select drywall, trim, and exterior component repairs worked into the full scope. Caroline walks through how these repair items support the larger refresh and help strengthen the finished result from building to building.
Why This Scope Matters
A project like this does more than update the appearance of a property. It addresses worn exterior conditions, improves consistency across the site, and supports a cleaner overall look from the time someone enters the community. When paint and repairs are handled together, the impact is much stronger, and that is what makes this project so exciting to show off!
Bringing It All Together
