How to Increase your HOA’s Curb-Appeal

Residential building in Los Angeles with a row of balconies

Whether you’re an investor looking to revamp a newly acquired property or you’re on an HOA board looking for ways to improve your property and prospective buyers or renters. Here are some ways to improve the interiors and exteriors of the property:

1. Fill and Maintain your Property with Plants

Yes, there may be the headache of needing to hire a gardener and deciding what plants your property can grow but choosing actual plants over lawns can save a lot in water and create a more lively aesthetic. If you’re happy with your landscape now, ensure the grass is regularly cut; plants and flowers are healthy, and trees and bushes are groomed. HOAs are reminded not to overlook the importance of well-kept landscaping.

2. Re-paint Exterior and Interior Walls

Exterior and interior walls are generally the responsibility of an HOA or property owner. You must maintain hallways in case of scruffs and marks left over time. Besides interior upkeep, make sure that the exterior is also maintained. Sometimes walls of buildings can get dirty over time, so you may need to pressure-wash or call a contractor to quote you on a fresh paint job.

3. Hire a Trusted and Professional Cleaning & Maintenance Company

A professional maintenance and cleaning company, such as Green Group, will eliminate the guessing work regarding your property’s upkeep. Companies like us have an agenda we check off on every visit; we may see things that your tenants don’t. Walls, floors, walkways, recreation rooms, and more will all be accounted for and made sure they’re kept clean.

5. Work with the community

Get everyone involved. Ask for volunteers who will keep an eye on the community’s public structures. They can alert the HOA for repairs and maintenance that need to be done. Get everyone involved.

How to Prepare for the Next Rainy Day in LA

Flood damage in Huntington Beach. Prevent rain damage by doing these things

During recent storms, we’ve seen a handful of our client’s properties get damaged over the past few weeks, potentially costing thousands to fix. A few clients with flooding in their complex’s garage, more with leaky ceilings and pooling on top of roofs because their gutters weren’t clean. Here are some ways to protect your HOA or commercial property in the future!

Clean your Gutters and Downspouts

This is the most effective and easy way to prevent damage to your roof and outdoor areas by having routine cleanings of gutters and downspouts. When drains clog with leaves and debris, water overflows and spills down where it can damage walls and footings. Especially if trees surround your property, we recommend quarterly gutter cleaning.

Let an Inspector Check your Roof

Inspectors have jobs for a reason! Utilize local inspectors in Los Angeles to check your roof and potential leaks. Inspectors have trained eyes that not all of us can catch. Having routine checks with an inspector could potentially save thousands incase of damages.

Have your Property’s Trees Trimmed

It’s not rare to drive down the streets of Los Angeles and find snapped trees after a storm or a windy night. Regardless of the season, trimming trees and clearing brush can prevent fires and have your land up-rooted during storms. Check in with a gardener quarterly to see what is necessary to trim down or remove.

Start that Big Project

One of our clients waited a bit too long to construct a retainer wall that would prevent their slopped property from receiving mud and water from entering their underground garage. If your property has a project in mind that needs to be done in order to avoid damages due to weather, then make it your HOA’s priority.
