We understand what property managers
actually need.

Painting a multi-unit property isn't the same as painting a house. The stakes are different. You're managing a schedule that affects dozens or hundreds of residents. You're accountable to an ownership group, an HOA board, or a management company. And you need a contractor who understands that a poorly managed paint project doesn't just look bad — it creates complaints, vacancies, and liability.

Oren Painting has been the go-to multi-unit contractor for Portland-area property managers for over two decades. the Shriki family personally manages every multi-unit project — from the initial walkthrough to the final punch list — because in this segment of the business, communication and coordination matter as much as the quality of the paint.

What we handle

Every surface, every building,
every unit in the portfolio.

Exterior repaints are where most multi-unit projects begin. Oregon's climate — persistent rain, summer UV, and the moss growth that plagues north-facing surfaces — takes a heavy toll on apartment and condo exteriors. The National Apartment Association (NAA) consistently identifies exterior condition as one of the top factors in prospective tenant decision-making. A well-maintained exterior isn't cosmetic — it's a vacancy reduction strategy.

Our exterior approach starts with thorough surface preparation: power washing, scraping, caulking, priming all bare wood and exposed surfaces. We repair minor siding damage, seal gaps and joints against moisture intrusion, and apply premium coatings selected specifically for each surface type and exposure direction. South-facing walls get UV-resistant formulations. North-facing surfaces get mildew-resistant products.

Interior common areas — hallways, stairwells, lobbies, laundry rooms, and fitness centers — are high-traffic environments that demand durable, scrubbable finishes. We use commercial-grade paints rated for abrasion resistance and specify low-VOC products throughout, which matters when residents are living feet from the work area. The EPA's guidance on indoor VOCs is particularly relevant for multi-unit work where ventilation is limited and exposure is prolonged.

Unit turns are time-sensitive by nature. When a tenant moves out and a new one moves in, the painting window is often 3–5 days. Our crews are equipped for fast, clean unit-turn work — including patching, priming, and full repaints — without sacrificing quality. For property managers with portfolios, we offer preferred scheduling so you can lock in availability during peak turnover months.

For properties that also need floor coatings in parking structures, storage rooms, or common-area concrete, we offer commercial epoxy systems as part of the same project scope — one contractor, one schedule, one point of contact.

Common questions

Multi-Unit Painting —
Common Questions

What to expect when hiring a painting contractor for your apartment complex, condo, or HOA property. For answers specific to your project, request a free estimate.

How do you minimize disruption to tenants during a multi-unit paint project?
We create a phased work plan before the project begins, coordinating with property management on building-by-building or section-by-section scheduling. We respect quiet hours, maintain clear access routes, communicate directly with on-site management daily, and clean up at the end of every work day. Our goal is for tenants to notice the results — not the process.
How much does it cost to paint an apartment complex?
Pricing depends on the number of buildings, total square footage, surface conditions, and the scope of prep work required. We provide detailed, fixed-price proposals after a thorough site walkthrough. The price we quote is the price you pay — no change orders, no hidden fees. We're happy to provide a free estimate for any size property.
How long does it take to paint a multi-unit property?
Timeline varies significantly by property size and scope. A 20-unit complex exterior might take 3–5 weeks; a 100+ unit property could take 2–3 months with phased scheduling. We provide a specific timeline in your proposal and have a strong track record of meeting deadlines — we understand that delays affect your operations and your tenants.
Can you match our HOA-approved color palette?
Yes. We work within HOA color specifications and can match any approved palette. If your HOA is considering updating its color scheme, we can also provide guidance and samples — we've helped many HOA boards through the color selection process. All proposed colors can be applied as test patches on the actual building before full application.
Do you handle unit-turn painting between tenants?
Yes — unit turns are a core part of our multi-unit work. We understand the tight timelines involved when a tenant moves out and a new one moves in. Our crews are equipped for fast, clean unit-turn repaints including patching, priming, and full color changes. For property managers with portfolios, we offer preferred scheduling during peak turnover periods.
Can you provide a certificate of insurance for our property?
Yes. We carry full commercial general liability insurance and provide certificates of insurance promptly for every project. We're licensed and bonded in both Oregon (CCB #165361) and Washington (ORENPPL95INQ). All documentation is available during the estimating process — we know property management companies require this before any work begins.
Do you paint both exteriors and interior common areas?
Yes — we handle full exterior repaints, interior common areas (hallways, stairwells, lobbies, laundry rooms, fitness centers), individual unit turns, and specialty surfaces like decks, railings, and parking structures. Having one contractor handle all painting scopes reduces coordination overhead and ensures consistent quality throughout the property.
What products do you use on multi-unit properties?
We use premium commercial-grade coatings from Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, and Miller Paint — selecting products specifically rated for each application. Exterior surfaces get UV and mildew-resistant formulations suited to Oregon's climate. Interior common areas get scrubbable, high-durability paints. All interior products are zero-low VOC, eco-friendly, which is critical when residents are living adjacent to the work area.
Do you work with property management companies on multiple properties?
Yes — portfolio relationships are a significant part of our business. Several Portland-area property management companies use us across their entire portfolio, scheduling annual maintenance painting and unit turns on a recurring basis. We offer consistent pricing, priority scheduling, and a single point of contact for all properties. References are always available.
What kind of warranty do you provide on multi-unit work?
Every project includes our standard 2-year labor warranty. If anything isn't right with our workmanship within two years of project completion, we return and make it right at no cost. We also use coatings backed by manufacturer material warranties. For property managers, this means confidence that the investment is protected — and that you won't be dealing with callbacks or premature failures.
