ROOFING

General:
We recommend the Board enter into a proactive roofing maintenance agreement with a
qualified roofing contractor. Typical activities to include:
1. Clean flat roofs free of debris and haul away.
2. Check flat roofs for cracks and repair as necessary.
3. Check to make sure all drain caps (primary & secondary) are secured and in-place
4. Clean tile roofs free of debris and haul away.
5. Inspect and seal penetrations.

By performing these maintenance activities, the association can extend the useful life of
the roofs, saving the association a great deal of money over time.

TILE ROOFING

Tile roofs are currently in good shape and will last for years with a good maintenance
program. Due to the great potential for injury, trained professionals should only inspect
roofing tiles. Have a qualified individual inspect and make repairs as needed. There will
be additional tile breakage from time to time. Broken tiles do not mean that there is a
leak, as tile is only the first layer of protection. However, if broken tile is noted,
damage to the underlayment from ultraviolet rays may soon follow.

Roofing tile changes over the years and it may be hard in the future to match your
existing tiles exactly. We recommend that an area be set aside to store some additional
tile for future repair and replacement.

DECKS AND BALCONIES

During the Semi-Annual Inspections, note any unusual wear patterns or penetrations in
the deck coating, any potted plants that look like they haven’t been moved, any carpets
or extra-large door mats. Any holes in the coating will need to be remedied
immediately to save the substrate. Over time, there will be a build-up of residue. JWC
recommends that a mild solution of dish soap or TSP and water be used to gently scrub
the surface with a soft bristled brush, then rinsed with cool clean water. Avoid placing
or watering potted plants on new deck coating. Make sure that all pots have a watering
plate, adequate air flow under them and that they are moved every month so that the
deck has a chance to dry out. Also, never cover balconies or entries with carpets or mats
and do not let animals urinate on decks. Homeowners must be aware that patio tables
