Condo Associations and HOAs
Let the board see the result before they vote
Exterior cleaning for condo associations and HOAs in Southeast Wisconsin. Building soft washing, patios, entrance monuments, gutters and walks. Proposal written for the board, work scheduled around residents, photos when we leave. A cost-free demo on one building or entrance, so the board votes on a result, not a promise.

The board’s problem
BeforeAfter
Every owner sees the green wall. The board hears about it.
Algae on the north siding, black streaks under the soffits, moss on the entrance stone, patios that look older than the buildings. Owners notice. Complaints go to the manager, the manager goes to the board, and the board needs three bids, a budget line and a vote.
What makes association work different
- The money is yearly. Wisconsin condo associations adopt an annual budget and distribute it to owners (Wis. Stat. 703.161). Cleaning usually comes from the operating budget, so timing matters. Budgets for next year are often set 90 to 120 days before year end.
- Reserves are for repair and replacement. Spending reserve money on ordinary upkeep takes an owner vote (Wis. Stat. 703.163). A clean proposal that fits the operating line avoids that.
- The manager is the contact, the board signs. Smaller scopes get approved by the manager alone. Larger ones go to a meeting we are usually not in. The proposal has to make the case by itself.
- Residents live there. Water, noise, blocked drives and a crew at the window are all complaints waiting to happen unless they are told what to expect.

48 buildings, 337 units, cleaned in phases

337units, apartments and condos
4buildings a day, full scope
7:00on site each service day, off by 6:30
The association’s manager brought us in. We met the board in person and proposed the work in phases, so each phase was a smaller decision and the finished phase was the proof for the next. Crew of three to four, setup at 7:00, service 8:00 to 5:00, quiet electric touch-ups to 6:00, off site by 6:30. Residents got dates ahead of time and cleared patios and balconies. A hydrant permit covered water. After the season the board asked for a recap meeting and booked the fall gutter cleaning. Won one phase at a time.

Questions boards ask
What a board member wants to know first
Can you phase the work to fit our budget?
Yes. We split large scopes by building group or by service, priced on separate lines, so the board can approve what fits this year and pre-book the rest for the next budget. Phases are scheduled with a date, not left open.
Will you come to a board meeting?
Yes. Ten minutes to walk through the proposal and take questions. If the board would rather review on its own, the manager gets a one-page summary to forward unchanged.
What should a fair bid comparison include?
Certificate of insurance naming the association, how cars, plants and glass are protected, where the water comes from, who controls runoff, photo documentation, the guarantee in writing, and crew size with a schedule. Price last. We put all of those on our proposal so you can compare line by line. Ask every bidder for the same list. If a bid cannot show one of these, that is the difference in the price.
