6 Ways to Improve your HOA’s Property Value

Many home and condominium owners choose to live in communities with a Homeowner’s Association. The HOA has codes, covenants and restrictions (CC&Rs) that usually contain rules for maintaining personal and community property. Also, there may be more than one HOA in a community or an association that covers all of the residences.

Continued maintenance of homes, condominiums and townhouses will maintain and improve the value of the residences and community buildings.

Roofs must be maintained. This includes condos, townhouses, detached homes and community buildings such as a club house or meeting center. A local roofing contractor can be hired to keep roofing in safe condition at all times. This is especially important in the Chicago area where winter storms can damage roofs. Individual homeowners are responsible for keeping their own roofs clean and safe but attached housing is usually managed by an HOA. A new or completely repaired roof will enhance the value of all of the units in the building.
Rain gutters and gutter covers are just as important as roofing for maintaining property value. Gutters can be covered if necessary to keep leaves and other debris from blocking the flow of water during rain storms and snow melt. Your local roofing contractor will install and maintain roof gutters, covers and drains.
Attractive, well maintained landscaping adds to the value of a community. The HOA is often responsible for maintaining private community parks, ponds, recreational facilities, trails and walkways.
Fencing should be repaired at all times. Wood fences, decorative stone and brick walls in good condition add to the curb appeal of the buildings within the community.
Home and building siding must also be in good condition at all time to keep up property values. Buildings and homes must be repainted, varnished or stained when necessary. This requirement and acceptable colors are in the CC&Rs.
An HOA in a gated community may be required to pay for its own street maintenance. This includes street lighting, mailbox kiosks, snow removal and road repair. This is necessary to maintain and improve the value of the area.

I wanted to let you know about an experience I had with one of your employees. I live at 1200 Knottingham Court in Kingsport Estates and apparently, your company is servicing our condo association. My building has had a leak in the entryway for several months and Eddie was dispatched out to have me show him the source of the leak inside. I met him on Friday, September 21st and just wanted to tell you how impressed I was with his friendliness and professionalism. He immediately found the source of the leak and even went up on the roof to show me. He assured me that someone would take care of it as soon as possible and told me he would give the report priority to avoid any further damage. As someone who used to be in Customer Service, I always value a company that hires people that are not only skilled at their trade, but also skilled at interacting with people. Eddie is a great example of that and I wanted you to know so you could tell him what a great job he does! I am so glad that Alma Management chose Adams Roofing to be our roofing contractor!...

Charlie, Thanks very much for replacing the gutter! No one has been out to do it, at least before I left for work this morning. But I will definitely let you know whether it’s done correctly. I am very satisfied with your roofing job. It looks great, and more importantly, there were no leaks when it rained (even though we haven’t gotten really hard rains yet). So, I have been very pleased with my experience with Adams, especially with the professionalism and responsiveness of you and Dan. Thanks.... [more]

I wanted to take a moment to comment on your technician, Eddie. Eddie was assigned to inspect a roof leak I am having in my home in Cobblestone Circle. He was prompt, professional, courteous and informative; everything a customer could ask for when inviting a contractor into their home. Eddie represents Adams Roofing Well; and clearly he is an asset to your company. Kudos to him! Thank you.... [more]
