For common interest developments, as well as commercial clients, the key to extending the life of a building and minimizing replacement/repair cost is to have a good, solid preventative maintenance program in place. Richard Avelar and Associates has developed, over the years, a comprehensive approach to helping clients establish and maintain good maintenance practices.

Our approach starts with a thorough inspection of the property to pinpoint key areas of concern, discussions with owners and community managers regarding budgeting, timelines and material product choices, and a spreadsheet report outlining all the options. Once these options have been decided upon, Richard Avelar and Associates will utilize it’s architectural expertise to develop a maintenance manual or program which can be easily followed by future Boards of Directors or owners.

For newer and especially aging properties, a workable maintenance plan such as this can be a huge asset that takes the guesswork out of the maintenance equation and saves money in both the short and long term.
