Multi-Family Housing

Multi-family properties represent a good opportunity for painting contractors that are looking to expand their business. Apartment construction has been growing each year for the past 10 years, with more people from every age group choosing the convenience of multi-family living than ever before. And since every building – new or existing – has ongoing painting needs, now is the time to consider taking advantage of this opportunity with coatings and support from Sherwin-Williams.

Opportunities within the multi-family segment:

• Property sales lead to refresh projects. This is the ideal time to ask about and secure repaint and capital expenditure projects.
• Older properties need upkeep and appearance upgrades, opening the door for add-on and larger maintenance projects.
• The high turnover rate for apartment dwellers means a regular need for quick unit turn projects.

Where to Start:

• Identify major property management companies in your area that own a number of individual properties.
• Find the name and contact information of the maintenance or construction manager.
• Individual property or leasing managers can be good sources for names and can also tell you what projects are handled by the property management company and what are handled by outside contractors.
