The Problem

In a condo building, the first argument is about who owns the wall

Condo painting stalls for a reason that has nothing to do with paint: ownership is split. The association controls the corridors, the exterior, and usually the entry doors from the outside face. The owner controls the inside. Somewhere between those two is a surface nobody has claimed, and that is where projects get stuck.

We resolve it on paper. The estimate names each surface and which party's scope it falls under, so the board approves what the board owns and the owner approves what the owner owns.

For individual condo owners

Interior repaints in a condo are interior repaints with building rules attached. Elevator reservations, freight access, work-hour windows, and approved color schemes for anything visible from a corridor or balcony all shape the schedule.

We read the building's rules before we quote, and we protect shared corridors and elevators on the way in and out. That is usually the difference between a smooth job and a complaint filed with management.

  • Walls, ceilings, doors, trim, and closets
  • Building work-hour windows and elevator scheduling respected
  • Corridor and elevator protection on every access route
  • Approved-scheme colors used for balcony and corridor-facing surfaces

For condo associations and boards

Association scope is corridors, stairwells, lobbies, garages, railings, and building exteriors. These are phased so residents keep access to their unit and their parking throughout, with notices ahead of each phase.

Boards vote on documents, not on verbal walkthroughs. We provide a line-item estimate you can put in a packet, along with license and insurance documentation.

  • Line-item estimate formatted for board review
  • Phased scheduling by building, floor, or stack
  • Advance resident notices, bilingual where the property needs it
  • NV C-4 #0092296 and UT #14220959-5501 documentation on request

Nevada and Utah conditions

Condo exteriors in Las Vegas, Henderson, and St. George take direct sun on the south and west elevations, which fades color and chalks coatings faster than the north side. Stucco cracks and sealant failure at balcony transitions are the common findings on a walk.

We call out those elevations separately rather than pricing the whole building as one uniform surface, because they rarely need the same prep.

How It Works

What the project actually looks like

  1. STEP 01

    Walk the building and split the scope

    Every surface is assigned to owner scope or association scope in writing before pricing.

  2. STEP 02

    Confirm rules, colors, and access

    Work-hour windows, elevator and freight access, and any approved color scheme are documented up front.

  3. STEP 03

    Phase and notice

    Common-area and exterior work is sequenced so unit access and parking stay usable, with notices ahead of each phase.

  4. STEP 04

    Execute and walk it with you

    Daily cleanup, then a final walk with the owner or board representative before the job is called complete.

Price Factors

What moves the price

We do not publish a price list, because a real number depends on your property. These are the things that actually change it, and every one of them shows up as a line item on your estimate.

  • Owner scope versus association scope

    Two different approvals and two different budgets, so they are quoted as separate documents.

  • Unit size and layout

    Ceiling height, closet count, and door and trim count move an interior more than square footage alone.

  • Building access

    Elevator reservations, restricted freight hours, and long carry distances add labor time.

  • Common-area condition

    Corridors with heavy scuffing, drywall damage, or previously failed coatings need real prep first.

  • Exterior height and elevation

    Lifts or staging on taller buildings, and sun-damaged elevations that need more preparation than the rest.

  • Occupied phasing

    Notices, access coordination, and off-hour work in lobbies all take planning time.
