Balcony Inspections & Repairs
SB-326 & SB-721
Why Prioritize Balcony Inspections and Repairs?
Legal Compliance: California Senate Bill SB-326 * SB-721, also known as the "Balcony Inspection Bills," mandate regular inspections of exterior elevated elements, including balconies, in condominium & multi-residential properties. Our services are aligned with these regulations, ensuring that your property meets the necessary safety standards.
Risk Mitigation: Balconies are subject to wear and tear over time, which can compromise their structural integrity. Regular inspections help identify potential hazards such as dry-rot, termite damage, corrosion, or loose railings, mitigating the risk of accidents or structural failures.
Property Value: A well-maintained balcony adds to the aesthetic appeal and overall value of your property. By investing in professional inspections and repairs, you not only enhance safety but also preserve the long-term value of your investment.
Peace of Mind: Knowing that your balcony is structurally sound provides peace of mind for homeowners, property managers, and tenants alike. Our thorough inspection process and expert repairs ensure that your outdoor space is safe and secure for enjoyment.
