Multifamily Renovation Without Emptying the Building
Multifamily renovation usually means displaced residents, construction crews in corridors and budgets measured per project. We reset unit doors, common areas and amenity spaces in place with architectural film, priced per door and finished floor by floor.
The Renovation Model Built for Occupied Buildings
Apartment portfolios age from the doors out. Unit entries collect scuffs and mismatched paint, amenity casework goes dated, and every capital plan puts off the fix because a conventional renovation means construction in an occupied building. Meanwhile leasing walks prospects past the wear every single day.
Resurfacing flips that math. Unit doors, corridor doors, elevator interiors, amenity millwork and feature walls are refinished where they stand, in about 30 minutes per door, with no demolition, no debris and no displaced residents. Owners use it at unit turn, at refinance, at rebrand, and as a rolling program that keeps an entire portfolio on one finish standard.
Why Owners and Property Managers Choose It
Residents Stay Put
The work is quiet, dust-free and fast, so occupied floors are refinished without notices, complaints or vacancy loss.
Per-Door Economics
Pricing runs per door and per surface, so the scope flexes to the budget: one amenity floor this quarter, the tower next.
Material Documentation
We install Class A rated films (ASTM E84) from the major architectural film lines, and manufacturer documentation for the specified finish is available on request.
Built for Commercial Performance
Our impact-resistant wraps ensure your doors remain scuff-free and professional-looking for up to 15 years.
Cost of Refinishing a Unit Door
$350–$600
per door
A unit entry refinished in about 30 minutes to a specified finish, with the corridor open and residents undisturbed.
Cost of Replacing the Same Door
$800-$2,000+
per door
Replacing the same doors means procurement, painters, disposal and days of trade traffic on every occupied floor.
Finishes Residents Read as an Upgrade
We install architectural films from 3M DI-NOC, Reatec, Belbien, Bodaq and LX Benif: wood grains, solids and metals with texture deep enough to pass for new millwork. On unit doors and amenity casework they outlast paint by years, and one pattern standard can roll across an entire portfolio.
Koroseal publishes that all Reatec finishes meet Class A to ASTM E84, and 3M publishes that most DI-NOC products are Class A. We confirm the finish, the substrate and the location before install, and manufacturer documentation for the specified product is available on request.
What a Multifamily Program Covers
- Unit entry doors: The highest-visibility surface in every corridor, refinished through our commercial door resurfacing service.
- Elevator interiors: Cabs and landing doors reset through elevator cab remodeling.
- Amenity casework: Leasing desks, mailrooms, club rooms and kitchens refaced through casework refinishing.
- Corridor and feature walls: Wayfinding and accent surfaces via commercial wall wraps.
- Student housing: Dormitory and student apartment interiors reset over term breaks on the same per-door model.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you handle occupied buildings and unit turns?
Yes. Occupied buildings are the point. The work is quiet and dust-free, single doors are handled at unit turn, and full floors are sequenced around residents.
What does a per-door program cost?
Pricing runs per door and per surface rather than per project, so you can scope a single amenity floor or a whole tower and compare it directly against replacement bids.
Can common areas and amenity spaces be included?
Yes. Leasing offices, club rooms, mailrooms, fitness areas and corridors are usually where programs start, because that is what every prospect sees first.
Do you work on student housing and dormitories?
Yes. Student housing runs on the same model, with work scheduled over term breaks so buildings are reset between move-out and move-in.
How do we start a portfolio-wide program?
Start with one property walkthrough. We document the surfaces, propose the finish standard and price the program so it can roll across the portfolio.
