When it comes to roof repair of HOA buildings in Fort Lauderdale, Broward County, Hollywood, Deerfield Beach, Pompano Beach, Sunrise, FL, and the surrounding areas, it is important that you have your ducks in a row and that you get the right approvals before starting the work. At Commercial Roofing Industries, we have been helping provide roofing inspections, repair work, and full roof replacements for many years for HOA’s. Everything will start with an inspection of the roof, and these are typically done after a hurricane or tropical storm, as many times major damage is a result of these strong storms. Once the inspection has been done, any necessary repairs will need to be documented, and if these exceed 25% of the roof, then the entire roof system will need to be brought up to current code standards. All of this must be signed off on by the HOA board or ARC before any work can begin. From materials to be used to get the scope of the project and more will need to be part of the quote, and it all starts by contacting our team to get the inspection scheduled.
Who Is Responsible for What
When it comes to HOA’s, there needs to be an understanding of who is responsible for what with regards to roof repairs. The common buildings and areas of an HOA are the responsibility of the HOA, while single-family dwellings are the responsibility of the individual owners. Condos and townhouses will have a common roof, so the HOA will be the one responsible for roof repairs and replacements. Once a storm has come through, it is important to schedule a roof inspection as soon as possible so that any needed repairs can be done before the next storm comes.
Once the responsibility has been determined, a quote needs to be worked up that includes the materials to be used and other details. It will be important to note if more than 25% of the roof must be repaired, as this will trigger the need to bring the entire roof up to the current standards. Only when the HOA has approved the quote will our team get moving for the repairs or replacement.
Following The Right Steps
After a storm, having an inspection is the right first step. Once that is done, a quote needs to be worked up for the HOA that provides them with what is needing repairs, what materials will be required, and a timeframe for completion. This quote will need to be approved by the HOA before any work can begin on common areas, while individual homes will be handled by the homeowners. When things are approved to move forward, we can pull the required permits and get your roof back into shape.
