Façade stabilization and exterior renovation of two five-story multifamily buildings, combining complex high-elevation masonry repairs with a strategically timed full repaint to maximize cost efficiency.
Engineering assessments identified widespread masonry deficiencies at upper elevations, including displaced brick, failed flashing, and conditions contributing to active water intrusion.
All work was located five stories above grade, making traditional access methods unfeasible and requiring full scaffolding and swing stage systems, while the property remained fully operational.
Displaced brick and falling-brick risk five stories above grade.
Failed flashing and open conditions behind the veneer.
Every repair required scaffolding and swing stage systems.
Both buildings remained fully operational throughout.
Lidero developed a coordinated execution plan to address both the technical repairs and the logistical complexity of working at height within an occupied property. During planning, Lidero identified a key opportunity: with full access systems already required for masonry repairs, the team recommended incorporating a property-wide exterior repaint, leveraging existing equipment and avoiding a second mobilization.
Scaffolding and swing stages deployed to reach all elevations.
Hazardous conditions stabilized first, then full façade repairs completed safely.
Work sequenced with property management to keep operations running.
Property-wide repaint folded in while equipment was already mobilized.
The project delivered full façade stabilization and exterior improvements while maintaining building operations: complex high-elevation repairs across two five-story buildings, water intrusion risks addressed, and the need for a future access mobilization eliminated by incorporating the repaint into the current scope.
If you're planning façade repairs or exterior work on an occupied property, we're available to review scope and help define the right approach.
