Facade cleaning is the cheapest first line of defense
Since the changes to Florida law after Surfside, condo and co-op boards face milestone structural inspections (SB 4-D) and reserve studies (SIRS) that put building-envelope condition under the microscope. Routine rope-access cleaning helps you get ahead of it.
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 (SB 4-D)
Condo and co-op buildings 3+ stories must complete structural milestone inspections, then re-inspect on a set cycle.
Reserve studies (SIRS)
Structural Integrity Reserve Studies require boards to fund reserves for the building envelope — 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.
- Surface early sealant failure, stucco cracks, and water intrusion before they spread
- 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
