Facade cleaning is the cheapest first line of defense
Since Florida's post-Surfside reforms — SB 4-D and its amendments (SB 154, HB 1021, and HB 913) — condo and co-op boards face milestone structural inspections and reserve studies (SIRS) that put building-envelope condition under the microscope. Those inspections are performed by licensed engineers; our role is the preventive rope-access cleaning and documentation that helps you get ahead of them.
Why boards are paying attention
Florida buildings three or more habitable stories tall must complete milestone structural inspections and maintain reserves for major components like roof, structure, waterproofing, and exterior painting. The cost of catching problems late can be staggering.
Milestone inspections
Condo and co-op buildings 3+ stories complete a structural milestone inspection — performed by a licensed engineer or architect — generally by the year the building turns 30, then every 10 years.
Reserve studies (SIRS)
Structural Integrity Reserve Studies, prepared by a qualified professional, require boards to fund reserves for the building envelope on a 10-year cycle — these can no longer simply be waived.
Real consequences
Late discovery has driven special assessments into five and even six figures per unit at some Florida communities.
How clean facades protect reserves
When a rope-access crew is up close on your facade every few months, they see what no annual drive-by can. Cleaning becomes preventive maintenance — and documentation.
- Spot and flag visible sealant failure, stucco cracks, and water intrusion for your engineer to evaluate — we maintain and document, we don't inspect or certify
- Demonstrate board diligence with a documented maintenance record
- Receive high-resolution before/after close-out packages for your paper trail
- Salt and humidity degrade coastal glass and seals fast — a regular cycle keeps ahead of it
- One vendor handles facades, windows, garages, and all ground-level work
How we work with boards & managers
We make it easy to add us to your approved-vendor list and easy to show your owners that the building is being cared for.
Complimentary walk-through
We'll assess facade condition, point out anything you may want your engineer to review, and outline a maintenance cadence — at no cost.
We carry out the findings
When your inspection calls for facade cleaning, surface prep, waterproofing prep, or repainting, we execute that maintenance scope — a partner your engineer and manager can refer with confidence.
Vendor onboarding ready
Certificates of insurance, licenses, and additional-insured endorsements provided for your portal or files.
Documented close-outs
Every facade visit ends with a photo package your board can keep and share with owners.
We provide exterior cleaning and maintenance only — we do not perform milestone inspections or structural/reserve studies, which require a licensed engineer or qualified professional. This page is general information, not legal or engineering advice; for your building's specific obligations and deadlines, consult your licensed engineer, attorney, and community-association manager.
