Property maintenance is not an exciting task for community managers, but it is imperative to maintain the value of the property. As an HOA-managed community, the exterior of each building is likely the responsibility of the association to maintain. Because of this, let’s take a moment to review a few regularly scheduled exterior maintenance items that are occasionally overlooked. Accordingly, we will review best practices to ensure the beauty and functionality of your property for years to come!

Roof Maintenance

Regular roof inspections and maintenance are essential if you own a unit in an HOA-managed community, a single-family home, or a commercial property roof inspections and maintenance are essential. In addition to extending the life of your property, they can prevent additional damages. Your roof is responsible for keeping our Colorado weather out, which is a big job.

Landscaping and Outdoor Spaces

In addition to aesthetic purposes, it is essential to keep outdoor areas clean, organized, and in good condition for the community’s safety. This includes outdoor landscape maintenance. This should consist of yearly assessments of the community’s tree and bush trimming needs and annual yard maintenance. Included in these services are aeration, power-raking, and mowing.

Siding & Exterior Walls

Spring is a great time to schedule an annual inspection of the exterior walls of your community. Power washing can help create a clean, crisp impression for community visitors. Furthermore, a review should be completed to inspect the siding, window trim, fascia, and soffits for any signs of damage or wear. These signs include cracks, peeling paint, or rotted caulking. Suppose any of these items are found during these regularly scheduled inspections. In that case, a small amount of preventative maintenance could save much more extensive and expensive repairs in the long run, such as water damage and rot.

Parking areas

After our harsh Colorado winters, spring is a great time to inspect another portion of the exterior of your property. The parking area. The parking area should be absolutely free of any debris or hazards. It is a great time to identify and correct any newly developed potholes or damage to parking areas.
