HOA exterior cleaning, on a contract instead of a complaint

Buildings, breezeways, walkways, and amenities for associations and communities across the Triangle and Johnston County. Quoted per building, phased around residents, and put on a calendar so the board approves it once.

The program

One walk, one quote, one approval, one calendar

Most association exterior work gets bought the hard way: a complaint at the annual meeting, three bids that cannot be compared because one is hourly and two are per building, a vendor who shows up without telling residents, and a week of emails about blocked parking. The work itself was never the problem. The buying was.

A program fixes the buying. We walk the property once, scope every building and common area, quote it per building, and put the whole year on a calendar. The board approves one number. Residents get notices before each phase. The manager gets photos and a one-page summary after each visit, written to drop straight into the board packet.

Insurance and documentation come first, not on request. General liability and workers compensation certificates naming the association as additional insured go out with the proposal.

What it covers

Buildings yearly, common areas on their own cycle

Associations usually want the siding annually and the places residents walk more often. The program quotes them separately so the board can set each frequency without re-bidding the rest.

Buildings, annually

Soft wash on siding, trim, and soffits, elevation by elevation. The north and shaded sides of every building are what residents notice first, and they are what a yearly program keeps ahead of.

Breezeways and stairwells, two to four times a year

The dark traffic path down a breezeway is the single most common complaint on a multifamily property, and it is also a slip issue once algae sets in. These run on a shorter cycle than the buildings.

Walkways, pool decks, and mail kiosks, on their own cycle

Common areas usually want quarterly attention when the siding wants annual. We quote them separately so the board can set the frequency without re-bidding the buildings.

Dumpster surrounds and trash areas

Quoted as a line item because they generate complaints out of proportion to their size, and because a pad that is washed regularly stops smelling in July.

Gutters and roofs, when the property needs them

Clear gutters keep water off the siding and the foundations. Roof soft washing comes up when a board is being told the roofs are older than they are. Both can ride on the same program.

Interior janitorial for the clubhouse and offices

We are the one exterior company around here that also does the inside. A clubhouse, a leasing office, and a fitness room can sit on the same contract.

Case study

What a first year looks like: a worked example

This is a composite of how our association programs run, not a named client. Ask and we will put you in touch with a manager we work for.

1

The call

A property manager with a twelve-building townhome community in Wake County. The board has fielded complaints about green siding on the back elevations and a slick breezeway for two years running, and the last vendor washed four buildings and stopped answering.

2

The walk

We walk every building and every common area with the manager. Twelve buildings, two stories, vinyl over brick. Eight breezeways, a pool deck, a mail kiosk, two dumpster surrounds. We photograph the worst elevations so the board can see what it is approving.

3

The quote

Per building for the siding, with the breezeways, pool deck, kiosk, and dumpster pads each quoted as their own line. The board can take the buildings and leave the pool deck for next year if the budget says so. Nothing is hourly.

4

The schedule

Buildings in three phases of four so residents always have somewhere to park, with notices we write and post 72 hours ahead of each phase. Breezeways on the same visits, then again in late summer. Pool deck in April before the season opens.

5

The paperwork

Certificates of insurance naming the association, sent with the proposal. After each phase, a one-page summary with before and after photos by building. The manager forwards it without editing it.

6

The second year

Same scope, lighter work, because a building washed last year is a maintenance visit rather than a restoration. The board renews at the budget meeting with one line item and no new bids.

Pricing

What an HOA exterior program costs

Community work in the Triangle and Johnston County prices off building count, square footage, and how the phases get scheduled. Annual contracts cost less per building than one-time calls.

Questions

Boards and managers ask

Do you do exterior cleaning for HOAs?
Yes, and it is a large part of what we do. Boards and property managers across the Triangle and Johnston County run annual and biannual programs with us, quoted per building so the numbers can be compared and approved.
How is an HOA exterior cleaning program priced?
Per building for the siding, with common areas quoted as their own lines. Number of buildings and stories, elevation square footage, and the amount of breezeway and stairwell decide most of it. Annual programs price lower per building than one-off calls.
Can you provide a certificate of insurance naming the association?
Yes, before the first visit. General liability and workers compensation, with the association named as additional insured. It goes out with the proposal rather than waiting to be asked for.
How do you handle residents and parking?
We work in phases, building by building, and we write and post the door notices 72 hours ahead of each phase. Residents are told what is happening, when, and where not to park, and nobody comes home to a blocked space.
Do you work with condo associations as well as HOAs?
Yes. A condo declaration splits the exterior into common, limited common, and unit property, and the scope follows that split. We quote the common elements to the association and can quote limited common elements, like balconies, per unit if the board wants that handled too.
Can you handle several properties under one manager?
Yes. Several of our management clients have us across a portfolio, with one schedule, one point of contact, and one invoice arrangement.
What do we get to show the board?
A one-page summary after each phase with before and after photos by building, written to go straight into the board packet. Plus the certificates and the schedule up front.
Can the program include the clubhouse interior?
Yes. We do commercial janitorial, so a clubhouse, leasing office, or fitness room can sit on the same contract as the exterior work.
