CommercialBuilding-by-building exterior programs for communities, with clear resident communication.
Community projects live or die on communication. We publish a building-by-building schedule, post resident notices, and give the board weekly progress reports with photos, so everyone knows what is happening and when.
Scope typically includes siding, trim, railings, breezeways, doors, and carpentry repairs, all documented per unit so nothing is missed at the final walk.
In Alpharetta, an HOA-approved color change on fiber-cement siding included full caulk replacement, spray-and-back-roll application, and detailed trim work.
The difference is in the prep. Our crews protect patios and landscaping, repair and prime surfaces, and apply premium coatings with crisp cut lines and even coverage, so every building looks the same and lasts for years.
On-site assessment
We walk the property with the board or manager, measure, note problem areas, and confirm the finish you want.
Written proposal
You get a line-item estimate with products, prep scope, and a firm building-by-building schedule.
Protect & prepare
Surfaces are covered, washed, scraped, patched, and primed so the coating bonds properly.
Apply & inspect
Full coats go on, then we walk every unit with management and close out the punch list.
What a community repaint includes
Every community proposal covers the planning, the prep, and the paint below, documented per unit.
Building-by-building schedule
Each building gets its own dates, so residents know when the crew arrives and when it leaves.
Board color documentation
Renderings and physical samples ready for board and ARC approval.
Siding, trim, railings, and doors
Breezeways, fascia, and unit entry doors included, in the colors the board approved.
Carpentry repairs
Rotted trim, fascia, and siding boards replaced and logged by unit before paint goes on.
Washing and prep
Pollen, mildew, and chalk washed off, loose paint scraped, and every open joint caulked.
Punch list and warranty package
A per-unit punch walk with management, then one board-ready warranty package at closeout.
Need more than paint?
Single-family exterior painting for owners who want to match the new scheme, plus common-area work through our commercial painting crews. Send us the scope and we will fold it into one proposal.
Community colors that age evenly
A community scheme has to look right on every building and every elevation for a decade. Quiet body colors, a clean trim white, and one dark accent on the doors do that best.
Pick colors for the whole site, not the model unit. A body color that looks balanced on a sunny front elevation can read flat on a shaded rear building. Brush large samples on more than one building and look at them in both sun and shade before the board decides.
Mid-tone neutrals hide pollen and dust between washes, and they fade evenly, which matters when one building gets touched up years later. Keep the strong color on the entry doors. It gives the community a clear identity on the least surface, and doors are the easiest thing to repaint if the board changes its mind.

Signs the community is due
Waiting turns a paint budget into a carpentry budget. Walk the property each spring and note these, building by building.
Chalk on the siding
Rub a dark cloth on the sunny side of a building. A powdery residue means the coating is spent and no longer sheds water.
Uneven fade between buildings
When south and west elevations look a shade lighter than the rest, UV has broken down the pigment.
Peeling on railings and trim
Lifting paint lets water in behind the film, and on railings it turns into rust fast.
Mildew that returns after washing
Dark streaks on shaded walls that come back within weeks mean the mildewcide in the paint is used up.
Soft fascia and sills
Press a screwdriver into fascia, sills, and trim corners. Any give is rot that needs carpentry before paint.
A professional exterior repaint lasts 7 to 10 years on most metro Atlanta buildings, less on wood siding and the sunny south and west sides. On schedule, the scope is wash, caulk, prime, and two coats. Two years late adds scraping and trim replacement, and four years late adds rot repair across every building. Call (678) 737-6776 to walk the property with us.
