We hope everyone enjoyed their weekend and those celebrating Easter had a blessed holiday. As we approach the summer months, many properties will begin experiencing an increase in maintenance service calls be it due to increased usage (pools, ACs), the elements (water intrusion), or other variables. Sourcing quality vendors who offer competitive pricing is critical to ensuring you make the right decision for a project. While cost is always a component, sometimes you risk a larger bill down the road if you don't properly address an issue the first time. This article outlines the importance of proper as opposed to inexpensive maintenance. If you're dealing with issues finding quality candidates to perform work, reach out to us for a free consultation and we'd be happy to assist! WISE offers a first-class vendor network consisting of the best in the industry at what they do to ensure our clients expectations are not only met, but exceeded.

“Low-bid” maintenance may sound appealing for HOA boards looking to cut costs, but it often turns out to be a false economy. When boards resort to cheap fixes rather than proper maintenance, it puts the community at risk and typically leads to even bigger expenses later on.

Association turnover can be a hectic task. There are a number of components that go into a smooth turnover and while owners are in the process of taking control, property needs don't take a break. Preparing and executing routine maintenance plans are critical to an efficient management operation. From the initial assessment of the property, to establishing schedules, to budgeting and choosing the right vendors, let the WISE team guide the process for you and your board laying the groundwork to long term success.

For HOA communities, “post-turnover” means the shift of control from a developer to the homeowners. During such transition, an effective maintenance plan should be put in place early enough to prevent loss in property value and costly repairs.

We hope that everyone is ready to embrace the cold this week! Associations across the Tampa Bay area may be tapping into heating elements for the first time this year to combat the drop in temperature. With those, as well as other general maintenance type scenarios, balancing both proactive and reactive approaches is critical to a smooth and cost-effective operation. Routine inspections and usage, the coordination of timely repairs and service, and of course budgeting are all key factors in planning out a successful year. Read along to find out how your management team should be guiding you through these processes.

Repairs and maintenance can be stressful for Sarasota association management to manage, especially with so many different tasks already on their plate. And with Florida’s unique environment and strict safety laws, it can feel daunting to juggle everything without missing important steps.
