Painting Your Apartment Building with CertaPro
Posted on August 1, 2022
If you’re an apartment building owner or property manager, HOA & apartment painting services are a critical investment in improving the community and reaching revenue goals. If your apartment building appears dated to you, it certainly will seem that way to some prospective tenants.
Village Green, a national apartment management firm, released a study in 2016 finding that the community environment is the third most important factor in tenants’ decision to lease an apartment, after rent and location. 70% of respondents also said they begin researching apartments online as part of their decision-making, checking out photos and reviews. Here are some of the easiest ways to update your building’s interior and/or exterior, ensuring a safe and inviting community for new and current residents alike:
Exterior Apartment Painting Services
Before a new tenant goes on a tour, what is the first impression they are getting from your buildings’ exteriors? Do buildings look drab? Does woodwork or paint look discolored? If so, CertaPro Painters of Long Beach’s exterior painting services are a must. Here are some painting and paint maintenance services that we suggest to keep your apartment homes looking their very best.
Wall and Trim Painting:
Building looks dated because they don’t look new, bright, and clean. Fresh paint, including high-durability coatings, can help your apartment building exterior stand strong against time and the elements and immediately improve your curb appeal. Walls, trim, shutters, and entryways can all be painted expertly in stylish, complementary colors that fit with the community aesthetic you’re trying to create.
Carpentry and Gutter Repairs:
As old paint is removed prior to repainting, structural improvements can be made to exterior walls, trim, and gutters. These repairs will help seal exteriors more completely, and paint finishes will perform better.
Woodwork Improvements:
Not all woodwork will need to be replaced. Pressure washing services may remove much of the discoloring debris on the surface. If the wood still looks or smells off or is cracking and crumbling, wood rot repair and replacement should be done as soon as possible. This will prevent extensive damage since wood rot spreads throughout your property if left unchecked.
Wood Refinishing:
Once woodwork is repaired, natural wood refinishing on decking, wooden trim, and other exterior wood surfaces can give them a rich depth of color that brings them back to life.
Interior Apartment Painting Services
It’s important not to neglect interior painting when modernizing apartment buildings. That’s where tenants will spend all their time once moving in.
If you notice paint discoloration or damage inside a unit, that’s an indication your interiors aren’t properly protected. Not to mention, old paint can be an eyesore that can discourage new move-ins. Similar surface prep, wall and ceiling painting, and trim painting revitalize any interior room.
Paint Color Selection
Modern paint colors can be timeless. There is no need to worry about new paint dating your space in a few years. CertaPro Painters of Long Beach has color consultants that will help you choose colors that make your multi-family spaces appear clean, relaxing, and inviting.
Lighting and Fixtures
If your lighting & fixtures are outdated within the apartments, you may want to consider updating those so as not to detract from freshly modernized interior and exterior painting. Your lighting and fixtures are the first things that scream, “Outdated” so switching them up during your painting projects may be a great idea.
