High-rise and condo exterior repaints in Broward County

A tower repaint is an access job first and a painting job second. Every drop of a swing stage, every roof anchor and every balcony the crew passes is planned before work starts, because that plan decides the safety, the schedule and the cost.

Balconies and glass on the facades of high-rise residential towers in Miami.

The building has to be ready for it. Roof anchors must be inspected and documented before anyone hangs from them, and the association needs to know which equipment will sit on the roof and where. We review the anchor records and the roof layout early, and we tell the board if anything has to be done before the stages go up.

Owners live behind the wall being painted. They need notice before each drop reaches their floor, clear rules for balconies and windows, and a way to raise problems. We work out a notice routine with the manager and keep it to the end of the job.

On a tower, the coating is only part of the scope. Balcony edges, railings, sliding-door sealant and expansion joints are where water gets in, and a repaint is the moment to deal with them. Send the building's address and any engineer's report, and we will scope the exterior with the board.

Order of work

  1. Review the building's engineer reports, roof plan and anchor records.
  2. Agree the access plan, the color and the owner notice routine with the board.
  3. Set up roof equipment and protect the ground-level areas below each drop.
  4. Wash, repair and seal each drop from top to bottom.
  5. Coat the walls, balcony edges and railings drop by drop.
  6. Walk the finished drops with the manager and close the punch list.

Where it goes wrong

What usually goes wrong, and how we control it

Roof anchors nobody can vouch for

Stages and rope access hang from the roof. For rope descent work, OSHA requires the owner to confirm in writing that each anchorage is inspected and certified. If those records are missing or old, that is settled before the job, not on the morning of the first drop.

Balconies left half done

Owners who are away, locked balconies and stored furniture slow every drop. Access dates are set with the manager in advance, and missed units are tracked and closed out.

Sealant painted over instead of replaced

Coating over failed caulk traps water behind it. Joints around doors, windows and slab edges are checked and replaced where they have failed.

Wind on a tall face

Stage work stops in high wind. The schedule allows for it, and the board hears about weather days as they happen rather than at the end.

The limits

Structural concrete and balcony repairs need an engineer's design and are separate scope. Roof anchor installation or recertification is done by qualified firms. Board approvals, assessments and owner notices are the association's.

Questions

About high-rise and condo exterior repaints

Does a condo repaint relate to the milestone inspection?

It can. Florida requires a milestone inspection for condo buildings three habitable stories or taller, and the structural integrity reserve study for those buildings must cover waterproofing and exterior painting. Repairs those reports call for are often done before or alongside a repaint, and we work from them.

Can owners stay in their units during the work?

Yes. They get notice before work reaches their floor, rules for balconies and windows during each drop, and a contact through the manager for problems.

What does commercial painting cost?

Every job is quoted from a walk of the building, or from photos and drawings when they show enough. The number depends on the surfaces and their condition, how much prep and repair they need, the coating system, the access each elevation needs, whether people stay inside during the work, and what approvals come first. We do not publish rates, because two buildings that look alike rarely are.

What size of painting job will you take on?

Any size. We quote one tenant suite, a single stairwell or a storefront, and we quote a full tower exterior, a warehouse park or an airport concourse. Tell us the building and the surfaces, and we will scope the job as described.

Is Romco Builders licensed?

Yes. Romco Builders is a licensed Florida general contractor, headquartered in Fort Lauderdale. License details come with a quote on request.

How a job runs

Six steps, in this order

  1. Send the address and the surfaces

    Call, or use the quote form with photos or drawings. Tell us what gets painted, who is inside, and any deadline.

  2. We walk the building

    We look at the surfaces and their condition, the access each elevation needs, and what has to stay protected.

  3. Written scope and quote

    The quote names the prep, the coating system, the access method, the phasing and what depends on approvals.

  4. Approvals and permits

    Color or board approval, any city permit the work triggers, and access or security clearances are settled first.

  5. Prep and coating

    Washing, repairs, primer and finish coats follow the agreed sequence, with areas below protected while work is overhead.

  6. Punch list and turnover

    We walk the finished work with you, close the punch list, and hand over the coating record for the building file.
