Spring Maintenance Checklist for Condos and HOAs

After a long, brutal winter like the one we’ve had this year, your property may have suffered some damage and may be in need of a few repairs. With a little effort, your property can look its best and be safe for residents and visitors at the same time.

Here are some things our Managers will look for during upcoming property inspections:

Buildings: Broken/sagging gutters and downspouts, loose window frames, deteriorating
wood, concrete or brickwork, missing roof shingles, signs of water damage. Evidence of water collecting around building foundations. Evidence of clogged drains. Broken chimney caps. Siding damage including broken boards and popped nails.

Landscaping: Fallen branches and leaves. Trees and shrubs in need of pruning. Damaged sprinkler systems. Blocked drains.

Parking Lots & Walkways: Cracked or heaved concrete. Potholes. Broken curbing. Excess sand.

Spring Maintenance Checklist

Here’s a typical checklist of things that your Manager may suggest to help get your property in shape for the coming months:

• Repair exterior siding; patch and paint as necessary.
• Turn on outside water and inspect system for leaks. Check sprinkler systems for broken pipes, missing or broken heads, and clogged valves.
• Repair window and sliding glass door caulking and flashing to help prevent leaks.
• Ensure all exhaust fans are clean and remove lint buildup from the clothes dryer vents.
• Inspect all wood decks and fences for rot, broken boards, raised nails, loose screws, etc.
• Prepare for pool opening: Clean and inspect the pool and poolside area for cracks and tripping hazards. Clean all pool furniture to remove dirt and mildew.
• Do a safety check of any playground equipment.
• Clean the clubhouse/common room.
• Sweep the parking lots, private access roads and sidewalks.
• Pressure wash any areas that have mildew or dirt.
