Riverview at Terra Springs

Riverview at Terra Springs is a four-story condominium complex consisting of 30+ condos. The building is located on the north end of historic downtown Stillwater, Minnesota, with a stunning view of the St. Croix river. The project itself was about 20,000 square feet.

This project primarily consisted of painting project, but also involved power washing, caulking, scraping, and some light siding repairs.

One final unique aspect about this project is that mid project they had decided to change their trim color from matching the siding to white, for more of an accent. The complex looked restored after it was finished, and we were able to overcome the last-minute objective that was sent our way by strong communication skills between the Production Manager and the crew, and our ability to handle change effectively and efficiently.

CHALLENGES:

Due to the location and structure of this building, the project did present itself with some challenges. There was recent landscaping that had been completed so the ground was very soft, which required us to problem solve and use our lifts very carefully. The parking lot was also very tight, so we had to maneuver all of our equipment cautiously and without much space to utilize.

CONDITIONS:

The overall condition of the surfaces of the complex at the time the work began exhibited substantial wear and tear. Overall the exterior was weathered. There was buildup of the normal dirt, dust, etc. which was power washed prior to painting. There was also a buildup of efflorescence which was power washed to provide a much cleaner appearance. There was significant paint peeling on the stairs and railings that was scraped prior to repainting and required the use of the highest quality of products. There were spots of cracked siding which were repaired as well.

BEFORE & IN PROGRESS PHOTOS

Previous repairs and grime had built up on the building. All of this caused it to look prematurely old and give the wrong impression from the exterior.
