Common Area Cleaning Written for Board Approval

  • Itemized for the board
  • COI names the association
  • No homeowner water needed
  • Scheduled around residents

Georgia Bubbles cleans the common areas of HOAs, condominium associations and townhome communities across metro Atlanta, working for the board or the community's management company: entrances and monument signs, sidewalks, curbs and paver walkways, walls and fences, clubhouses and amenity buildings, pool decks and courts. We work for the association only, and only on the outside.

A board needs more from a vendor than clean concrete: a proposal it can approve line by line, insurance that names the association, a plan for water that does not involve anyone's spigot, and work that stays out of residents' way. This page explains how we handle each of those.

What a board needs from a vendor

Written for board approval

Each area is its own line, anything not included is stated in writing, and a large scope can be split into phases to fit the budget, so the proposal can go straight into the board packet.

Insurance that names the association

Our certificate of insurance and W-9 go out with every proposal. Our broker can name the association or its management company as certificate holder or additional insured.

No homeowner water needed

We use a water source in the common areas if there is one. If there is not, we obtain a fire hydrant permit, and the proposal says which applies.

Scheduled around residents

Dates are set with the board in advance so residents can be told, quiet hours are checked before we commit to a time near homes, and amenities are cleaned outside their open hours.

What HOA boards hire us for

See all of our commercial services

Entrances, walls, curbs and pavers

The entrance is the first part of the community residents and visitors see. Monument signs and entrance and perimeter walls are cleaned on the front, the back and the caps. The back of a perimeter wall usually faces homeowners' yards, so the proposal says when access through them is needed.

Curbs are cleaned together with the storm drain inlets along them. Paver walkways are pretreated for moss and mildew and cleaned with hot water. Because cleaning washes sand out of the joints, we come back a day or two later, once the pavers are dry, and re-sand them.

Recurring care, priced for next year's budget

Most of what a community needs comes back on a cycle: the pool deck before each pool season, entrances and walkways as they weather, and the clubhouse wash and roof on a longer cycle. On a recurring maintenance program the scope is agreed once, each area gets its own cycle, and we contact the board or manager when the next visit is due. A committed schedule is priced better per visit than one-off cleaning.

Most associations set next year's budget in the fall, which is the time to have exterior cleaning priced. Send us the community and we will itemize it, ready for the budget.

Questions HOA boards ask us

Do you work directly with HOA boards?

Yes. We work for the association, either directly with the board or through the community's management company. Proposals are written so they can go straight to the board: each area is its own line, anything not included is stated in writing, and a large scope can be split into phases to fit the budget.

Which common areas do you clean?

Sidewalks, curbs and storm drain inlets, paver walkways, entrance and perimeter walls, monument signs, fountains, clubhouses and amenity buildings, pool decks, tennis and pickleball courts, fences and gates, gutters, roofs, windows and dumpster enclosures. Each area is quoted as its own line. Our work is for the association; we do not wash individual homes for residents.

Do you need water from homeowners?

No. If the community has a water source in the common areas we use it. If it does not, we obtain a fire hydrant permit, so no homeowner's spigot is needed, and the proposal says which applies.

Do you need to walk the community before you quote?

Not usually. We measure the community from satellite and street-level imagery and any photos you send, and send the counts back so the board can confirm nothing is missing. When something cannot be seen from imagery, such as the back of an entrance wall, we ask for a photo before we price it.

Can the certificate of insurance name the association?

Yes. Our certificate of insurance and W-9 go out with every proposal. If the association or its management company needs to be named as certificate holder or additional insured, or needs a waiver of subrogation endorsement, our insurance broker issues a certificate that says so.

When do you work, and how are residents kept informed?

Dates are agreed with the board or the manager in advance, so residents can be told ahead of time. Because pressure washing equipment is loud, we check noise ordinances and quiet hours before committing to a time near homes, and amenities such as pool decks are cleaned outside their open hours. Larger communities are cleaned over several days, area by area.

How do you clean paver walkways?

Stained pavers are pretreated for moss and mildew and cleaned with a surface cleaner and hot water up to 200°F. Cleaning washes sand out of the joints, so we clean up as much loose sand as we can and return a day or two later, once the pavers are dry, to re-sand: new sand is brushed into the joints and wetted down to settle.

Do you offer recurring cleaning for communities?

Yes. The scope is agreed once, in writing, and we return on a set cycle, with a different cycle for each area if needed, for example the pool deck before each pool season and the clubhouse wash and roof on a longer cycle. A committed schedule is priced better per visit than one-off cleaning. Most associations set next year's budget in the fall, which is the time to have exterior cleaning priced.
