Building Demolition
By AJ Sidransky
Cities are crowded. That’s a simple fact. In the best of circumstances, there’s noise, dirt, dust,
and the usual urban pests. Add to that the construction of a new building next to or nearby
yours, and annoyance can quickly become overwhelming.
10 Maintaining Exterior Spaces
By A J Sidransky
Whether it’s a balcony, terrace, patio or roof deck, outdoor space is many an apartment
owner’s dream. Desirable – and valuable – as they are, these spaces do present specific
maintenance considerations for individual owners, co-op corporations, and condo
associations, however.
Exterior Cleaning
By Mike Odenthal
Home is where the heart is, sure – but it’s also where most of where any given owner
or shareholder’s money is. For most people, their home represents their single biggest
investment. And in a community association, both individual units and the entirety of the
building or development will determine the owner’s return on investment (ROI).

Facade Repair and Restoration
By Mike Odenthal
When you close your eyes and picture any building, you are quite likely imagining its
facade – the outer shell which protects and contains all of the hustle and bustle that goes on
within. In a residential property, the facade is what separates a building’s occupants from
both elements and intruders.

By Mike Odenthal
As more and more of our daily lives become more intertwined with online entertainment
and services, internet access has become a home utility along with electricity and running
water.
