A homeowner’s association (HOA) is a group of people who live in the same neighborhood, typically within the boundaries of a single subdivision or development. The HOA enforces rules on all members and collects fees from homeowners to cover costs such as landscaping and trash removal.
Aside from these basic services, HOAs are responsible for the upkeep of common areas such as pools, building exteriors, roofing, and playgrounds. They may also be required by law to make certain repairs on homes within their jurisdiction if those homes are in an age-restricted community (such as an adult community).
Roof Inspections on a Regular Basis
One of the most important things you can do for your home is to have regular roof inspections and roof cleaning. By performing regular maintenance and roof cleaning, you can detect issues before they become major issues and avoid premature failures and having to pay for costly repairs or replacements in the future.
Regular inspections have the following advantages:
- Preventing minor problems from becoming major ones
- Predicting failures.
- Extending life-spans of materials and assets.
- Preventing unplanned expenses or investments.
Roofing Preventative Maintenance and Repair
