For property managers & HOAs

The buildings that never come up at the board meeting.

We plan each community before we pull up: what needs doing, when it happens, who hears about it first. Residents know what's coming, and every visit comes back photographed.

When the wrong vendor lands on you

You are the one who has to answer for it.

You did not do the work, but you picked who did. Everything a bad contractor gets wrong on a community arrives at your desk with your name already on it.

The Complaints Come to You

Nobody emails the vendor. They email you. Moss on the roofs, a green walkway, a crew that showed up unannounced and blocked the only guest parking. Every one of those is your afternoon.

The Number Moves After You Approved It

A scope that was never really walked turns into change orders. You already put the figure in front of the board, so the difference is yours to explain.

Nothing to Put in the Packet

The work happened and you have no record of it. When the board asks what the money bought, a vendor who documents nothing leaves you with nothing.

The Damage Outlives the Vendor

High pressure on a shingle roof strips the granules that make it a roof. Water driven behind siding shows up as rot two years later, long after the crew that caused it stopped answering.

Before we pull up

Six things happen before a truck is on your property.

Most of what goes wrong on a community job was decided before anyone picked up a hose. So that part gets done properly, with you, first.

  1. 1

    We walk it with you

    Every building, not a windshield survey from the entrance. Roof by roof, elevation by elevation, so what we quote is what is actually there.

  2. 2

    We scope it building by building

    Each building priced on its own, so you can stage the work across budget years instead of taking the whole property at once.

  3. 3

    We build the schedule around the community

    Around guest parking, garbage day, the pool opening, the landscapers, and anything else already on your calendar.

  4. 4

    We agree who tells residents, and how much notice

    Some managers want the notice to come from the office on letterhead. Some want us to handle it. We do it your way, and we write it down before the date is set.

  5. 5

    We build a safety plan for the crews and the residents

    So everybody is on the same page: which entrance stays open, where residents park instead, which balconies need to be clear, and where the crew is working each day. Nobody living there should be surprised by a hose across their walkway.

  6. 6

    We handle the permitting and the compliance

    We build the job plan, pull the proper permitting, and make sure the work is completely compliant with local rules and regulations. You are not the one doing the work, but you are responsible for your contractors following the law. We take that off your plate.

While we're there

People live there while we work. We plan like it.

A community is not a storefront we can empty overnight. Residents are coming and going the whole time, so the work moves around them in a controlled zone rather than taking the property all at once.

One Zone at a Time

Coned and taped where we are working, opened back up as we move on. Residents always have a way in and a place to park.

Hard Hats, Harnesses, High-Vis

Anyone on a lift over a walkway is visible from the ground and clipped in. Residents can see who we are before they reach us.

Soft Wash on Anything That Can Be Hurt

Low pressure and the right chemistry on roofs, siding and painted surfaces. Pressure goes on the concrete, where it belongs.

Crews Residents Are Glad to See

Hired for professionalism and trained to talk to people, because on your property they are the ones your residents actually meet.

Every technician is background checked, insured and trained before they are on your property. See how we train them

What you can hand the board

Every visit ends with a close out report.

Not an invoice with a line on it. A record of the visit you can forward without editing.

Photographs of the Work

What each building looked like when we got there and what it looked like when we left. The proof the money bought something is in the report, not in your memory of it.

Known Issues We Noticed on Site

We spend the day on your roofs, in your gutters and up at your fascia. Lifting shingles, a cracked downspout, a dryer vent nobody has touched, standing water where it should be draining. If we see it, it goes in the report.

Why the second half is the useful half

You cannot see a roof from the parking lot. Most of what eventually turns into a special assessment was visible from a lift a year or two earlier. The report is how it reaches you while it is still small.

Certificates of insurance, additional-insured listings and the endorsements your master contract asks for come the same way, on request, before the first visit. See the kind of work that goes in one

What we clean at your communities

One vendor for the whole exterior.

Every one of these is a service page with the method, the photographs and the honest limits on it. Nothing here is a stock list.

Putting it on a schedule

Get the year scoped while the budget is still being written.

Most managers reach us in the fourth quarter, because the number has to exist before the board can approve it in the first. Walking the property then means the scope is real by the time it reaches the agenda, instead of an estimate someone guessed from a website.

Once it is approved, the work goes on a recurring schedule and we come to you when each visit is due. You are not re-sourcing a vendor every spring, and nothing waits for someone to remember to book it.

Who's on your property

Your residents meet them, not you.

On your property our technicians are the ones people stop and talk to, so they are hired for professionalism and trained before they carry an applicator. Insured, background checked, and paid a living wage with healthcare, which is why the same faces come back next year.

  • Background-checked before day one
  • W2 employees, never day-hire subcontractors
  • Multi-level certified technicians
  • Written property-protection protocol
  • OSHA-aligned safety training
  • Our own training facility

Trained in the WindowWorks way

Every hire is chosen and trained to make even the most tentative client feel safe and well cared for, with a personalized experience on every visit. It's why clients worth over a hundred million dollars trust our crews at their homes when nobody is there.

My townhomes complex has been using Window Works for about four years to clean out gutters & take moss off of the roofs. They have always done an excellent job and fairly priced. Highly recommend.

Window Works was working in a unit in our complex and I noticed what a thorough job they were doing. I asked Connor for information and they ended up cleaning windows for me. The entire crew was great and I couldn't be happier. Highly recommend them!
