An apartment community or commercial building has the same envelope problems as a house, multiplied by every unit, every roof-to-wall joint, and every window on the property, with tenants living inside while the work gets done. Property managers, HOA boards, and building owners across the Portland metro area have trusted LADA Exteriors with that scale of work since 1997, including a recent 11-building, 300-unit apartment project that involved new siding, sheathing and framing repair, window replacement, and 44 steel beams set under structures that had been jacked up to replace rotted load-bearing timbers.

Signs Your Building Needs Exterior Repair or Replacement
On a multifamily property the warning signs rarely come from one place. Several residents report the same window leaking, paint fails on the same elevation of every building, decks feel soft underfoot, the siding below the rooflines has swelled, or a reserve study flags the envelope as past its useful life. Commercial owners see the same pattern in rising maintenance tickets and tenants complaining about drafts, moisture, and musty smells.
The Portland climate turns small details into large budgets. Buildings constructed through the 1980s, 1990s, and early 2000s often share the same shortcuts, such as short flashing, poorly lapped weather barriers, and composite siding that absorbs water, and because the same crew built every building on the site, the same defect is usually present everywhere. Water that has been behind the siding for years reaches sheathing, framing, and eventually the beams and posts holding the structure up.
A building-by-building assessment tells a board or an owner what they are actually facing. Sometimes a targeted repair on one elevation buys time until a planned replacement. Often the responsible answer is a phased, whole-property envelope project with one contractor accountable for the result.
Multifamily and Commercial Services We Provide in the Portland Metro Area
Every exterior trade is in-house, which matters on a large project where the roof, walls, windows, and structure all have to be sequenced together.
Multifamily Siding Replacement
Full tear-off and replacement of failed siding with properly flashed and gapped James Hardie fiber cement or other specified cladding, with drainable weather barrier and corrected flashing at every roof-to-wall joint, window, and deck. Product and installation details are on our siding replacement page.
Window and Door Replacement at Scale
Unit-by-unit window replacement coordinated with the siding schedule, with sill pans, flashing, and trim done correctly on every opening and resident access scheduled in advance.
Commercial and Multifamily Roofing
Composition shingle, standing seam metal, and PVC membrane commercial roofing and roof replacement on multifamily and commercial buildings, including low-slope sections, with roof-to-wall flashing corrected as part of the roofing scope rather than left for someone else.
Structural and Dry Rot Repair
Replacement of rotted sheathing, framing, rim joists, deck ledgers, posts, and load-bearing beams, including jacking structures to set new steel where the original timber has failed. Structural repairs are engineered, permitted, and inspected before they are covered.
Construction Defect Remediation for HOAs
Whole-property correction of original construction defects, scoped across all affected buildings and documented for boards, attorneys, and inspectors. Our construction defect repair page covers the diagnosis process in detail.
Exterior Painting and Finish Work
Complete exterior painting of the finished envelope so the project is delivered move-in ready, not primed and waiting for another contractor.
Why Property Managers and HOAs Choose LADA Exteriors
Large exterior projects fail on coordination, communication, and resident disruption more often than on workmanship. Those are the parts we have spent nearly three decades getting right.
Every Exterior Trade Under One Contract
Siding, windows, roofing, flashing, structural repair, and painting are all our crews, so there is one schedule, one point of accountability, and no gaps between trades where water gets in and blame gets passed.
Phased Scheduling Around Occupied Buildings
Residents stay in their homes. Work is sequenced building by building and elevation by elevation, access is scheduled and communicated in advance, and sites are secured and cleaned at the end of every day.
Scope, Budget, and Documentation Boards Can Use
You receive a written scope broken out by building and phase, itemized pricing, and photo documentation of conditions found behind the walls, which is what reserve planning, special assessments, and warranty or defect claims require.
Capacity for Large Projects
As one of the largest residing contractors in Oregon, we staff multi-building projects with dedicated crews, a site foreman on every building, and a project manager who handles permits, inspections, materials, and resident communication from start to finish.

What to Expect From a Multifamily or Commercial Exterior Project
Step 1. Property Assessment and Scope
We inspect every building, document conditions, open test areas where needed, and deliver a written scope and itemized estimate broken out by building and phase.
Step 2. Planning, Permits, and Resident Communication
Phasing, staging, and access are planned with your management team, permits and engineering are handled, and residents receive schedules and notices before work begins.
Step 3. Phased Construction
Buildings are completed in sequence, with structural repair, flashing, siding, windows, roofing, and paint coordinated so each building is weathertight before crews move on. A foreman is on site daily and the project manager reports progress to you on a set schedule.
Step 4. Final Inspection, Documentation, and Warranty
Each building is walked with your team, punch lists are closed, and you receive photo documentation of the completed work along with the manufacturer warranties and our written workmanship warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions About Multifamily and Commercial Exterior Projects
How Is a Multifamily Exterior Project Priced?
Pricing is built per building and per phase, and the biggest factors are the number of buildings and units, the square footage of wall and roof area, the materials specified, the number of windows and doors, and how much structural and dry rot repair is found once the cladding comes off. We provide itemized scopes boards can take into reserve planning or assessment votes, and every assessment is free.
Do Residents Have to Move Out During the Work?
No. Work is phased by building and elevation, access to units is scheduled in advance, and buildings are kept weathertight at the end of each day so residents stay in their homes throughout the project.
How Long Does a Whole-Property Project Take?
It depends on the number of buildings and the scope. A single building can take a few weeks, and a multi-building community is scheduled in phases over several months. You receive a phase schedule up front and progress reports throughout.
Can You Work With Our HOA Attorney or Reserve Study Consultant?
Yes. We regularly provide documentation, scopes, and estimates to attorneys, forensic inspectors, and reserve study providers, and we have worked alongside all of them on defect claims and capital projects.
Do You Handle Structural Repairs or Just the Exterior Finish?
Both. Our crews replace rotted framing, sheathing, deck structure, posts, and load-bearing beams, including jacking buildings to set new steel, with engineering and permits handled as part of the project.

If the same leak is showing up in multiple units, the reserve study has flagged the envelope, or a defect claim needs a contractor who can scope and fix the problem, the next step is a walk of the property. An assessment costs nothing and ends with a written scope your board or ownership group can act on. Request your property assessment or call 503-860-6660.
