Planning a community repaint is a big decision. These guides help HOA boards and property managers plan with confidence — whether or not you hire us. Drawn from 40 years of painting Portland-area communities.
Most Pacific Northwest communities repaint their exteriors every 7–10 years, though it varies with paint quality, siding type, sun and weather exposure, and how well the last job was prepped. Watch for fading, chalking, peeling, or failing caulk. Because board approvals typically happen in spring and summer for warm-season work, it’s smart to start gathering bids 6–12 months ahead.

Typically every 7–10 years in the Pacific Northwest, depending on paint quality, siding type, exposure, and prep. Watch for fading, chalking, peeling, or failing caulk.
A clear scope (surfaces, prep, number of coats), colors, timeline, price, warranty terms, references, and proof of license and insurance.
Through door and bulletin-board notices at each phase, quiet crews with open walkways, low-VOC paint, daily cleanup, and regular updates to the board or manager.
Verhaalen employee crews led by a crew leader, with a project manager on site weekly — never subcontractors.


Thrilled with the job they did. Having worked with a colorist, we picked paints with different applications on each of our six buildings. The team was courteous and respectful of everyone's needs. We can't provide enough superlatives for the work that Verhaalen and their exceptional team did for us.
Verhaalen's approach to bidding the large job was the most comprehensive and thoughtful. Professional and attentive from bid to warranty claims. More than a year later the paint continues to look fantastic we have a strong long-term partner.
I'm an HOA board member and recently headed up our hallway repainting project. Their bid was the lowest we received, but there was no 'skimping' on quality or timing — two coats plus two trim colors on nine floors in only four days. The finished work was flawless, and Verhaalen even offered to come back after our new carpet install for touch-ups at no additional charge.
