A Condominium Association Management Services Company Has It Covered

By Jeannie Chapman


The many tasks and activities that need to take place around any condominium requires the services that a professional firm can provide. That is not to say that the members of the condominium association can not perform these. However, it is time and cost saving to have a condominium association management services company take care of them.

A fairly large number of the activities that take place in and around a condominium will be visible to all who view it. Some of these will not. The outside is a very visible place and the landscaping should be taken care of by professionals. The lawns being mowed, shrubbery being trimmed and parking lots cleaned is a matter for experts trained in this area. Parking lot stripping is also a task that takes planning and not something easily done by a handyman.

The occasional cleaning and paining of the outside of the buildings will need to be taken care of. The pressure washing, preparation, draping of the bushes and protection of everything else must be done. These tasks should be dealt with by a crew and a management team who know what they are doing.

The physical plant also entails the hidden things that can go wrong and must be addressed on a regular basis. Heating and the important air cleaning and conditioning systems must be monitored. These complex systems need constant attention, depending on the age of the equipment. This should be left to a company who has the expertise and licensing to perform such tasks.

Electrical work will have its own role to play in the up keep of the facility. Licensed electricians will have to be on staff or called in whenever there is a problem. These issues will include lights blowing out in common areas and rewiring in individual units as needed to stay up to date on local building codes.

Plumbing issues, whether it is simply the replacement of a faucet or the re piping of an entire unit, will need to be done utilizing the professionals trained in this work. Broken faucets, water mains and sewer issues will need the specialized expertise of experienced and licensed personnel. The local codes, dealing with these types of issues, will have to be followed and these people know what those are.

Other duties will include the collection of monthly payments, cleaning the common areas and manning a resident complaint department phone and office area. Most companies offering this service will be computerized which will assist them in scheduling and keeping everything on track. This is the best option for an issue free day and they have proven their ability to perform all tasks to expectations.

The right condominium association management services firm will be the one that has everything under control. They will have already been dealing with one or more of the local facilities and will have high marks for integrity and job completion rates. A company who does have everything covered, as it were, will make sure there are no issues that arise that they can not handle quickly and professionally.
