Apartment Buildings in Sierra Madre and the San Gabriel Valley

Multi-unit properties require a coordinated approach that balances quality, efficiency, and tenant consideration. We work with property managers and building owners across the San Gabriel Valley to plan and execute painting projects that minimize disruption while maximizing results. From full exterior refreshes to individual unit turnovers, common area updates, and hallway repaints, we handle apartment projects of all sizes. Our team coordinates access schedules, communicates with tenants, and delivers consistent quality across every unit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do tenants need to be home when you paint exteriors?
No. Exterior painting does not require tenant access to individual units. We do ask that vehicles be moved from areas directly adjacent to the building so we can set up equipment safely.
How long does it take to paint an apartment complex?
The timeline depends on the number of buildings and units, the amount of prep work, and whether we are doing interiors, exteriors, or both. A typical mid-size complex exterior takes two to four weeks.
Can you paint individual units during tenant turnover?
Yes. Turnover painting is a regular part of our work. We can repaint a standard apartment unit in one to two days, including wall repair, priming, and two coats of fresh paint.
How often should an apartment building exterior be repainted?
Most apartment exteriors in the San Gabriel Valley should be repainted every seven to ten years. Buildings with heavy sun exposure or older coatings may need attention sooner. A quick inspection can help determine timing.
How much does it cost to paint an apartment complex?
Apartment complex pricing depends on the number of units, total square footage, surface conditions, and whether interiors are included. Exterior-only projects for a mid-size complex in the San Gabriel Valley typically start around $15,000 and can range significantly higher for larger properties. We provide a comprehensive written estimate after walking the property.
Do you offer ongoing maintenance contracts for apartment buildings?
Yes. We work with several property management companies in the Pasadena and San Gabriel Valley area on recurring maintenance schedules. This can include annual common area touch-ups, turnover unit repaints, and periodic exterior inspections to address wear before it becomes a larger project.
What paint products do you use for multi-unit properties?
We use commercial-grade products from Sherwin-Williams and Dunn-Edwards that are formulated for high-traffic durability. For interiors, we typically recommend washable eggshell or satin finishes that hold up to tenant turnover. For exteriors, we use acrylic latex coatings with strong UV and mildew resistance suited to the Southern California climate.
Can you work within HOA color requirements and approval processes?
Yes. We are experienced with HOA-governed properties and understand the approval process. We can work from an approved color palette, prepare color samples for board review, and ensure all work complies with the association's architectural guidelines. We have completed projects for multiple HOA-managed complexes across the San Gabriel Valley.
