We Know Condos
In the first few weeks of the New Year, we’ve started several condominium remodeling projects. Whether this marks a trend or simply a high water mark in the ebb and flow of condo work remains to be seen. Either way, one thing is for sure: We know condos. We like working on them (and not just because they’re indoors); we’re really good at it; and we’ve remodeled a lot of them—upwards of 60, not counting service and maintenance jobs.
Condo projects come with their own set of construction challenges: limited parking, cramped elevators, short working hours, neighbors who live just inches away from the jobsite! Over the years, we’ve learned how to take all of this in stride. We submit materials for sound transmission testing; we use radio imaging to locate post-tensioned cables within concrete; we haul framing materials on the tops of elevators; we carry 10-foot-long countertops up 32 flights of stairs; we provide electrical troubleshooting and plumbing advice for neighbors. Whatever it takes.
If you’re considering a condominium remodeling project, consider Schultz Miller. Here are a few reasons why you should:
* We work closely with the building manager
* We respect the requirements of the building and the condominium board
* We plan for noise abatement, safety, access, parking, and staging
* We’re respectful of adjacent neighbors
* We coordinate utility work that ties into other units or whole-building systems
* We’re careful in elevators, hallways, and public spaces
* We’re experienced with acoustical isolation mats and sound insulation systems
* We deliver our usual high level of quality and attention to detail
Perhaps this is why we’ve been invited back to multiple jobs in Continental Place, Washington Park Tower, First Hill Plaza, One Pacific Tower, Market Place Tower, Bay Vista Tower, The Concord, and other prominent Seattle condominium buildings.
