Roof replacements, siding repairs, paving and window replacements are major commitments for HOA and condo communities. PickFacts helps property managers and boards compare contractor proposals, identify potential added costs and clarify the work before approval.
What matters to the association
Major capital expenditures affect reserve budgets, project timing and what owners may need to contribute through special assessments. PickFacts helps managed and self-managed associations understand what contractor proposals include, what remains uncertain and which questions to resolve before committing association funds.
For roof replacements, compare tear-off, decking repair allowances, flashing and disposal. For siding and windows, clarify which buildings and units are included, material specifications, water-management details and responsibility for interior repairs.
For paving projects, check whether proposals include surface preparation, base repairs, drainage, striping and access arrangements. Identify allowances, exclusions and undefined quantities that could increase costs beyond the amount presented to the board.
Bring written findings and contractor follow-up questions into discussions of major capital expenditures and special assessments. Give the board a clearer record of scope differences, potential added costs and unresolved responsibilities before approval.
