QUICK ANSWER

How do you paint a building with tenants above a shop?

By phasing it. The commercial frontage is worked around trading hours, and the residential levels are worked around balcony access and notice. Those are two different schedules on one building, and treating them as one is why these projects generate complaints. A written plan by elevation and level, circulated before the first day, prevents nearly all of it.

MIXED-USE

A Business Below, People Home Above

The corridor buildings along University and Snelling, and a good share of what sits around the universities and along Grand and Selby, are mixed-use: retail or office at grade, apartments above. Painting one is genuinely two projects sharing a scaffold, and they have opposing constraints.

FEATURE 01

Ground-Floor Business Hours Scheduling

The business below needs its frontage clear during the day: Customers, deliveries, signage visible, entrance unobstructed. That pushes the ground-level work toward early mornings, evenings and quiet weekdays.

FEATURE 02

Upper Residential Level Mid-Day Scheduling

The residents above are home at exactly those times. Ladders past bedroom windows at seven in the morning and crews on a balcony at six in the evening are how a project ends up in a management meeting. That pushes the upper-level work toward the middle of the business day.

FEATURE 03

Inverted Multi-Level Schedule Plan

So the schedule inverts by level, and that is not a complication — it is simply the plan, and it works when it is written down before the first day rather than negotiated during it.

FEATURE 04

Balcony Access Coordination

Balconies need individual arrangement. Access dates by unit, what residents need to clear, and how long they lose the use of it are things people are entirely reasonable about when they are told in advance and unreasonable about when they are not.

FEATURE 05

Resident Window Safety & Containment

Windows matter more here than on a commercial-only building. Which windows must stay closed, on which days, and for how long, is worth stating explicitly.

THE SURFACES

Where the Money Actually Goes

FEATURE 01

Balcony & Walkway Railings

Which on a multi-family building are frequently the single largest painted surface on the property and always the one in the worst condition. They take weather, hands and sun, and they are what a prospective resident looks at from the street.

FEATURE 02

Soffits, Fascia & Upper Trim Access

Which fail first on any building because they are the least protected, and which on a three-story corridor building are entirely an access cost rather than a materials one.

FEATURE 03

Entry Surrounds & Canopies

Both commercial and residential, taking the most contact of anything on the property.

FEATURE 04

Storefront Framing & Signage Bands

Storefront framing and signage bands at grade, on the commercial half of the building.

FEATURE 05

Stairs & Exterior Corridors

Stairs and exterior corridors where the building has them — safety-critical surfaces that cannot be out of use for long and that are scheduled accordingly.

FEATURE 06

Corridor Masonry Cleaning vs Painting

And the masonry itself, on which — as on any older corridor building — cleaning is frequently the better answer than coating. A facade that has never been painted is worth thinking hard about before it is.

OUR COMMITMENT

Wherever your house sits on that spectrum, the estimate is written for the house rather than for the postcode.

THE SEASON

Multi-Family Exteriors Need a Long Runway

Exterior work in this metro runs roughly May through early October, and a large multi-family exterior is not a one-week project. On a property of any size the phasing runs for weeks, which means the season has to be reserved rather than found.

FEATURE 01

Advance Notice & Balcony Scheduling Lead Time

Notice, balcony access scheduling and coordination with your site team all take lead time, and none of that can be compressed into the week before a start. A February walkthrough, a written scope in March and a plan circulated to residents in April is what makes a June start uneventful.

FEATURE 02

Year-Round Interior & Common-Area Sequencing

Walkthroughs are free and carry no obligation. Interior common-area and unit work runs all year and is least contended from November onward, which makes the two straightforward to sequence across a single property.

“Joe did a very good job of keeping us posted on the timing of the phases of our siding repair and house painting project. When there were delays, he explained why and gave updated estimates for completion. Jorge managed the workers well and ensured the work was completed according to agreed upon requirements. The work was completed in a timely manner with high quality and with good attention to detail. We would recommend Durahome to anyone needing siding and/or painting work done on their home.”

“Reasonable price. Durahome repaired some damage we had on our ceiling, removed the popcorn, and painted the ceilings. They did a nice job and took care to make sure everything was as we liked it. I would use them again and recommend them highly.”

“I had no idea painted cabinets could look so good. They're super smooth and just the right amount of gloss. Redoing my cabinets was step 1 in renovating my kitchen, and I could not be happier with how they turned out - they definitely set the stage for the rest of my reno. Everyone who visits is shocked they were painted and not purchased like this. Super friendly service, and they kept me updated throughout the process as well, which was very appreciated.”
