Facade Cleaning and Coating for Housing Cooperatives and Homeowners Associations

Then read on to find out what you absolutely must not forget to present at your next cooperative or homeowners association meeting!

Does the panel or apartment building you live in look as though its best days are long behind it? Has its facade become so faded over the years that you are no longer sure what its original colour was? Or did you have the entire facade insulated a few years ago, only to find that an unsightly greenish coating has already appeared on it? In short… do you think your apartment building could look better? If so, keep reading!

Apartment building facades and the health of residents

But the appearance of an apartment building's facade is far from the most important thing that our company Umyjemto can help your housing cooperative or homeowners association with. They say that the most important thing we have is our health. And although it may not be immediately obvious, a greenish facade surface can have a detrimental effect on health.

What exactly are we talking about when we refer to a green surface on a facade? Today, the facades of most buildings are insulated. However, alongside the benefits of saving money on energy, this brings one drawback. Insulation worsens the natural circulation of air within walls. As a result, the entire facade system has a greater tendency to develop and retain moisture — which is precisely the type of environment in which harmful microorganisms spread easily. The green surface on a facade is nothing other than deposits formed by these multiplying microorganisms — from various types of mould, bacteria and yeasts through all manner of fungal spores to algae and lichen. And as is widely known, these types of microorganisms are toxic to the human body. Our respiratory tract is the first to be at risk, as the spores of these microorganisms escape into the air and then, when windows and other ventilation openings are open, enter the living environment in our apartments. But it is not only the respiratory tract that is affected, of course. Once you are in an environment with a higher concentration of harmful mould and the like, the health of the entire organism is at risk.

Our services for your housing cooperative or HOA

All of this is very easy to prevent — and we at Umyjemto know this extremely well, because we are specialists in solving exactly these kinds of problems! When providing professional services in the field of facade washing and coating, your housing cooperative or homeowners association is always our top priority. As soon as you call us, we will first visit your apartment or panel building on a completely no-obligation basis, assess its current condition and demonstrate the cleaning result on a small section of the dirty surface. We will then offer you a tailored solution in the form of a price quote — all of this completely free of charge and with no obligation on your part. The next steps are then up to you.

Once you have a price quote for the services and possibly also photo documentation from the free washing test, you can then call a meeting or tender within your homeowners association or housing cooperative. This entire process can take some time, which is why we recommend starting as early as possible — ideally before or at the beginning of the main season.

Quality coating in the case of more serious facade damage

Are you thinking that a mere wash cannot "save" the ugly, years-neglected facade of your apartment or panel building? That it is not enough? If you have no previous experience with our services, you will probably be surprised at how much any facade can be transformed by washing alone. In that case, the best thing to do is to see the results of facade washing and cleaning for yourself in the before-and-after photo gallery below this article. However, even we — as specialists in apartment building facade maintenance — know very well that simply washing a facade is sometimes just not enough. What to do in such a case? Yes, you guessed it — the facade needs to be repainted. And in this too, Umyjemto can serve your housing cooperative or homeowners association perfectly!

We paint facades using the highest quality Kabe Farben paints. The certified technology behind these coating systems originates in Switzerland, where this brand has been outperforming the competition with its innovative technologies for many decades. So if the compromised colour of your facade can no longer be saved, there is nothing better you can do for your building and the health of its residents than to use our apartment building facade coating service. In addition to outstanding colour fastness and ease of application, Kabe Farben facade paints are distinguished by a self-cleaning effect and above all enhanced resistance to all types of contamination. Your facade will be that much better protected against various algae, mould and other microorganisms that are harmful to health.

You cannot go wrong with us!

The list of benefits that working with our company will bring to your cooperative or homeowners association does not end there, however. By entrusting the new coating to us, you have all your facade maintenance concerns taken care of for several years to come. We will confirm this with a warranty on the coating directly from the manufacturer — for a full 5 years from the date of completion. The price of the coating may seem higher at first, but when you add up all the benefits mentioned, it must be clear to everyone that working with Umyjemto pays off. Just as with cleaning, the same applies to coating — our experts will first visit your building before any work is agreed, inspect the condition of the facade and propose a tailored solution.

We do this to ensure that your homeowners association or housing cooperative has all the necessary information and documentation at hand before making a binding decision. We know full well that this will make all your supplier selection discussions significantly easier.
