How Your HOA Can Save Money

If your Homeowner Association is mandating that you and your neighbors keep your roofs clean, but they are not hiring a Professional to service the whole community at the same time, your community is more than likely spending much more than it needs to.

Group discounts and standardization of services are extremely important in effective management of a community, maintaining property values, and maximizing limited resources.

Example: An HOA with 300 homes that can secure a $100 discount for each of its Residents by coordinating services for the Community has effectively saved its Residents $30,000. This is money that can be better used to either offset other expenses or to keep Dues Increases down.

Many HOA Board Members and Property Managers are reluctant to deal with this issue because they assume that if the Community hires a company to do the work, the Community is then responsible for ANY problems that might be perceived to be related to that work. This is not the case. 

Board Members and Property Managers can help maintain the aesthetics of the community and do their residents a great service, while saving the community significant expense, by hiring a company with the following verifiable qualifications:

• Licensing
• Insurance, both Liability and Workers Comp
• Experience with processes and/or solutions that are safe for the roof and surrounding property
• References from properties of similar size and structure
• Approval from Manufacturers

Communities can also save significant expense by eliminating the Roof Cleaning altogether. Roof-A-Cide offers the ONLY stain prevention process that is Proven Effective, Safe for the Roof and Landscaping, EPA Approved, and Approved by Roof Manufacturers.

A little neglect may breed great mischief...for want of a nail the shoe was lost; for want of a shoe the horse was lost; and for want of a horse the rider was lost.
– Ben Franklin

After extensive testing, Roof-A-Cide once again proved to be Safe and Effective and has been Approved for use in Preventing Ugly Roof Stains and Eliminating the need for Roof Cleaning.

Changes in The Roof Cleaning Industry

The Roof-A-Cide Team had an opportunity last month to participate in one of the Southeast’s most widely attended Roofing Conventions. It was very educational and it was great to see that many of the Roofing Professionals we spoke with are now starting to understand how important Roof Cleaning is to their customers and how important it is for their companies to offer this service.

For far too long, Homeowners Associations and Communities here in Florida have mandated Roof Cleaning – while most Roofing Professionals were not offering it. As a result, it has too often been left to contractors that are not licensed, not insured, not trained, and not qualified to do the work properly. The result has been damage that is expensive and unnecessary. We expect to see this changing in the near future.

Our presentation generated a lot of interest from companies looking at the Safety of Roof-A-Cide, Approvals from Roofing Manufacturers, Proven Track Record, Our Training Program, and Our Guarantee  – ALL of which are unmatched in the industry and why Roof-A-Cide is The Industry Leader.

And with this new insight into their customers’ needs and an understanding of the benefits of Roof-A-Cide, we hope to see many of these companies join the other Roofing, Construction, and Property Maintenance Professionals that offer their customers Roof-A-Cide because it’s a much safer and more cost-effective approach to properly maintaining a roof!
