Decades of experience
Apartment and Condo Re-Siding, Built Around Your Residents
Re-siding an occupied building is a scheduling problem as much as a construction one. We have been doing both since 1995.
- Boards and managers get a real schedule.Elevation-by-elevation phasing, dated and shared in advance.
- Residents stay in their units.Access is coordinated per building, never all at once.
- One contractor, not four.Siding, windows, roofing and paint under one contract.
- Rot gets priced honestly.Nobody can see rot until the old siding is off, so we price what we find rather than guessing at it in the bid. Deeper damage moves into envelope replacement with a documented scope.
- We re-side year round.Winter work carries on with weather precautions reviewed daily. Painting is the exception — pre-primed materials hold for up to 180 days, so paint goes on between March and October.
Safety is the part of this work we take most seriously, and on a building where people live it is not only our crews we are thinking about. It is the resident walking under the scaffolding to reach their own front door.
Every crew lead is first aid and CPR certified, every crew meets weekly on safety, and a superintendent checks each site daily against a written list. Twice a year we also invite L&I onto our job sites to look for anything we have missed.
That matters more here than in a dry climate. Around Puget Sound our crews work at height on wet scaffolding through a long gray season, and weather is a safety hazard as much as a scheduling problem.
Our safety program has been recognized nationally by the NAHB, and our record with L&I is clean — no safety inspections, no license violations, no claims against our bond. You can check that yourself under contractor license SIDEPI*008N1. More on how we work safely. See how a commercial project runs.

What Drives Multi-Family Re-Siding Cost
Two buildings of the same square footage rarely price the same. What moves the number:
- Access and staging.Swing stage, scaffold or lift changes labor before a single board comes off.
- What the tear-off finds.Sheathing, framing and window flashing are only visible once the cladding is gone, so an honest number follows inspection rather than a price list.
- Cladding specified.Fiber cement, panel systems and metal carry different material and labor rates.
- Phasing and occupancy.Working safely around residents, parking and building access adds days to the calendar.
- Permits and inspections.Multi-family work is permitted and inspected. We pull the permits and coordinate the inspections.
Multi-Family Siding Installation Questions
Do residents need to move out during a re-side?
No. We work one elevation at a time and the building stays weather-tight throughout. Residents keep normal access; what changes is temporary scaffolding and a window-covering schedule, which we publish in advance so people know which days affect their unit.
Safety is the reason that schedule exists. Scaffolding is erected and inspected before anyone works from it, the area beneath active work is barriered off, and walkways, entries and parking routes stay open and clearly marked. Tools and materials are secured at the end of each day rather than left out overnight. If a walkway or an entry has to close, residents are told before it happens, not after.
How do you handle balconies and decks?
They get inspected as part of the envelope, because the deck-to-wall connection is where multi-family buildings leak most often. Flashing at that junction, and at any door threshold onto a deck, is rebuilt as part of the scope rather than patched around.
Can the work be phased across multiple buildings?
Yes, and on larger properties that is usually the sensible approach — one building at a time keeps disruption contained and lets the board see finished work before the next phase starts. We build the phasing into the schedule and the bid.
Phasing is also how the work stays safe around people who live there. Containing active work to one building at a time means one barriered zone, one set of altered walkways and one group of residents to notify, rather than a property-wide hazard to manage all at once.
Do you work with HOA reserve studies and bid processes?
Regularly. We provide the scope detail, line-item pricing and documentation boards need for a reserve-funded project, and we are comfortable presenting to a board or committee before a vote.
How do you handle resident notification and access?
We give written notice ahead of each phase, covering which units are affected and on what days. Work hours are 8 to 5, Monday through Friday, and the crew cleans up daily — including running a rolling magnet for nails in common areas and parking.
The daily clean-up is a safety measure as much as a courtesy. Offcuts, debris and fasteners come off the ground each evening, ladder and scaffold access is secured before the crew leaves, and nothing is left where a resident or a child could reach it overnight.
What warranty applies?
Our own 5-Year Workmanship Warranty* covers the labor, on top of whatever the manufacturer provides — James Hardie lap siding, for example, carries a 30-year non-prorated warranty that transfers with the property. *Restrictions and details apply.
