Appealing exteriors are a key component of attracting new tenants to your multi-family property. As an owner or manager, you’re facing increasingly heavy competition along with rising client expectations. Tenants are looking for the best value for their money, and multi-family exterior renovations are one of the best ways to create a positive first impression and increase the curb appeal of your property.
Before beginning your renovation project, you likely have many questions: what multi-family exterior renovations will add the most value? What will they cost? How long will they take? How do I find the right contractor? In this blog post, we’ll go over some of the most common exterior renovation services and why they might be right for your property.
Multi-family roof replacement
After twenty or so years of service, roofing materials begin to show natural wear and tear and can even begin to fail, causing moisture to seep into the interiors. In order to protect a multi-family residence and everything in it, you’ll need regular roof upkeep and replacement. Other common reasons to consider roof renovation are thermal protection, weather damage, or building additions.
ASH is a certified roofing contractor and can restore or construct flat, sloped, metal, TPO, or poured roofing to enhance your property’s aesthetic and structural integrity and meet energy requirements and building codes. A full roof replacement takes our team 1-2 weeks per building to complete.
Pricing varies based on a number of factors, including size of building, color and type of shingle, permitting, geographic location, and number of pre-existing shingle layers that must be removed. We are experts in both 3-tab and architectural shingles, although we primarily install architectural shingles due to their higher wind load and greater longevity. Roof replacement typically costs between $12,000-$25,000 per building.
Multi-family siding replacement
Aesthetically appealing and durable siding is a great way to add value to your multi-family property. High-quality materials and proper installation are also crucial to protecting your property from weather extremes.
At ASH, we can install, update, or repair siding in an array of styles, textures, colors, and materials. Our commitment to quality workmanship and materials means that our siding can protect your property for years to come.
Typical siding replacement projects take 2-3 weeks per building. Pricing is contingent on a variety of factors, including material (vinyl or Hardie), substrate type, presence of a moisture barrier, siding type (lap, shake, or reverse board and batten), and building height. Our typical pricing range for siding renovation is $30,000-$50,000 per building.
Multi-family carpentry and paint
You don’t need to hire separate carpentry and painting contractors; at ASH, we can perform a wide array of carpentry services and finish them off with a beautiful new coat of paint. We use high-quality paint and building materials, meaning that our restorations look better, last longer, and add real value to your multi-family property.
Carpentry and paint projects typically take less than a week per building, and pricing is contingent on the age of the building, amount of rot (shaded buildings usually suffer from more rot than elevated buildings in the sun), gutter cleanliness, fascia, and building trim. For carpentry repairs and painting the repairs, cost usually ranges from $2,500-$6,000 per building. A full exterior paint job can cost between $10,000-$14,000 per building.
Multi-family door and window replacement
Property managers may want to replace their doors and windows due to damage or energy issues. Especially in geographic regions that face temperature extremes in the summer and winter, high-quality doors and windows are crucial for helping tenants save money on utilities and stay comfortable in their homes.
The ASH team can help you select and install the optimal door and window replacements based on your property’s specific requirements and preferences. Projects typically take 1-2 weeks per building to complete, and pricing ranges from $12,000-$18,000 for doors and $25,000-$40,000 for windows.
Multi-family gutter and downspout replacement
Without a professionally installed gutter and downspout system, your property can suffer costly damage from the hundreds of gallons of water sliding off your roof during an average rainshower. At ASH, we repair or replace gutters and downspouts, ensuring buildings have proper drainage away from structures and that there are no holes, gaps, or openings to eliminate risk of clogging or overflow.
It takes our team 1-2 days per building for gutter and downspout replacing. Pricing varies based on the size, height, and layout of the building, but typically ranges between $5,000-$10,000.
