Apartment Stucco & EIFS in Cumming

Older communities compete with the new lease-ups

When a new apartment community opens nearby with fresh facades and an amenity deck, residents at an established property notice. So do prospects touring both. Stained balcony soffits, cracked breezeway walls and mismatched patches make an older Cumming community look further behind than it is, and leaks into units drive work orders and move-outs.

The causes repeat across garden-style and mid-rise buildings. Balcony ledgers and slab edges were not flashed into the wall, breezeway walls take splash and rain they were never detailed for, window perimeter sealant has aged out, and roof-to-wall transitions at stair towers leak. One detail repeated on every stack means the same repair on every building.

We survey the community building by building, record readings and photos by stack, and confirm leak paths with water tests where residents have reported them. The written scope ranks repairs by urgency and can be phased by building or by budget year. Work then moves through the community one building at a time, with resident notices, protected walkways and a finish that brings the property back to one look, often with a recoat timed with a renovation program.
