Repainting a three-story senior community while residents live there takes more than paint: cones, lifts, scheduling around daily routines, and carpentry when boards turn up soft. Here's how we handled one in Westlake.

Senior community painting in Westlake has to work around the people who live there: walkers, wheelchairs, visitors and daily routines.
This community has three-story residential wings, balconies on every floor and a covered porte-cochère where residents come and go all day. The job was a full exterior repaint without disrupting any of that.
Each area is coned off before work starts, walkways stay open, and staff know which wing we're in each day.
Ladders handle the lower floors and balconies. A lift reaches the upper peaks and the porte-cochère roofline safely.
Soft boards and trim found during prep are replaced before they're painted, never painted over.
A refreshed community with fresh siding, trim and a bright porte-cochère, done while residents went about their days.
Senior community painting in Westlake is a big-building job. At the community shown here, done in 2019 and 2020, the scope included more than 150 cedar boards replaced, roughly 200 feet of downspouts, and 300 to 400 soffit vents, along with the siding, trim, balconies and the porte-cochère. Work like that only stays safe and calm for residents with clear work zones and daily contact with staff.
Can residents stay during the work? Yes. We phase the work and keep walkways open.
Do you coordinate with staff? Yes, daily, so everyone knows where we'll be.
Do you repair wood before painting? Yes. Soft boards are replaced first.
Do you handle gutters and soffit vents? On this job, yes: downspouts and soffit vents were part of the scope. We’ll tell you what we can include on yours.
