FAQ’S – Multifamily
We answer some of the most commonly asked questions from our customers
If siding throughout my condo or townhome community is replaced how will I be assessed for my share of the cost?
- Cost-sharing varies by community. Typically, individual owners share the cost of siding common areas and pay for their unit’s percentage of the whole or the overall cost is shared equally among owners. The association may fund the project with an insurance settlement, existing dues revenue, a special assessment or a combination of things.
What happens if the contractor discovers deteriorated wall sheathing or structural framing after removing the existing siding on my condo or townhome?
- Timberline Roofing and Contracting attempts to identify all needed repairs and replacements during the planning phase. If additional damage is discovered during demolition, it will be documented and the expanded project scope will be addressed through change orders.
Why should I care about the condition of the siding on my condominium or townhome unit?
- Faulty siding can cause water infiltration that leads to structural wood rot, carpenter ant infestation, unhealthy mold and water stains on interior surfaces.
What should I do indoors to prepare for work on my condominium’s siding?
- Siding work can cause vibrations that dislodge wall hangings and items on shelves against exterior walls. Remove hanging art and mirrors from exterior walls. And make sure bookshelves and furnishings do not touch the exterior walls.
To what extent can I exercise personal style preferences over my condo or townhome siding and remain compatible with the larger community?
- Timberline Roofing and Contracting may offer a variety of compatible siding colors, profiles, and materials that individual homeowners can choose from for their units. This includes upgrading the quality of the materials used on their property, such a substituting superior James Hardie fiber cement siding for fiberboard products.
