SPS guides condominium homeowners and communities in planning and executing the highest value, long-term solutions for their building envelope needs. We help communities ensure exterior components work together to protect homeowners from the elements.
Since 1990 we have helped thousands of condominium communities address their building envelope needs.
This experience led to the creation of a comprehensive planning process to help associations protect the value of their homes, save money, and reduce the burden of ongoing maintenance.
We live our mission by guiding communities through a value-focused planning process designed to inform the best decisions for the short- and long-term future of their homes.
Owning a home is part of the American dream. Condominium communities make this dream an achievable reality. Due to their smaller footprint and economies of scale during the construction process, condominiums tend to be more affordable for homebuyers. However, these homes are often built with less expensive materials and installation practices. This means exterior components like roofs, siding, trim, windows, doors, and decks don’t protect homes as well or as long as homeowners expect and deserve.
Over time, repainting, repairing, or replacing individual exterior components becomes a waste of time and money by fixing symptoms instead of the root cause. Since 1990, SPS has helped communities navigate the challenges of caring for the aging exteriors of their homes for the long term.
We work with board members, homeowners, and property managers to create a value-driven plan for their building envelope. We restore a sense of community through collaboration.
Managing the exterior of condominium buildings is daunting. Ineffective moisture management techniques and low quality materials used in the original construction add to the complication. Making maintenance, repair, and replacement decisions without proper guidance can be stressful — and costly.
SPS guides communities through a proven 3-step planning process to help you make the highest value decisions for your building exteriors. Our Savings BluePrint process is a step-by-step roadmap to build a long-term solution, not just quick fixes that don’t address the root problem. This process guides short-term maintenance, repairs, timely component replacement and long-term restoration solutions.
Looking back, I honestly thought this was a mountain that might be too high to climb. However, SPS’ persistent approach to solving our issues and extraordinarily kind outreach to our homeowners sealed the deal.
The approach SPS takes is ‘how do we get you to your best results and what’s best for the community that you serve?’ I’m very impressed with how SPS takes it one step at a time so it doesn’t become an overwhelming task. SPS has a great model for planning.
Any community that has more than a page of deferred maintenance should begin the planning process. SPS, they’re pros. They know this business, they know construction and what it takes to make your buildings right so you don’t have to worry about emergency repairs.
A building envelope is more than just a grouping of materials and components that protects a home from the elements. It’s a system that works together to keep you comfortable inside, by keeping the weather outside. Though it can often go unnoticed, an aging and ineffective building envelope can allow water and wind to penetrate the exterior walls of your home, leading to costly and premature repairs. What might seem like peeling siding paint or a roof leak could actually be a sign your home’s envelope is failing.
A building envelope is a complex system that requires specialized knowledge and expertise to properly maintain, repair, replace and restore. Communities seeking to understand how today’s maintenance headaches might be creating unexpected future problems rely on the guidance of building envelope specialists to ensure a holistic and preventive solution for the long term.
SPS offers specialized guidance for condominium communities through our expert building exterior evaluation, diagnosis, and planning services. We can help you understand the current condition of your building envelope and make informed decisions.
