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 to be accomplished by licensed professionals. The replacing of light bulbs in the common areas will go better if a person with the right equipment is placed on this task. The scheduling of upgrading of the entire facility will go better with a crew who has done this before. Local electrical codes will have to be followed and some of them change all of the time.

Plumbing needs in a large facility will require a professional who knows these systems. Re piping in areas where a large number of people congregate is something that most people are not comfortable doing. The changing of bathroom or kitchen fixtures will also need the special attention these professionals will be able to bring to the task. Main incoming water lines and sewer connections must be maintained properly to keep up with sanitary codes.

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.
