Got an HOA Notice About Mold or Algae? Here's What to Do
This comes up regularly, and it's usually simpler to fix than it feels when the letter shows up.
What triggers it
Mold and algae staining is the most common reason
Green or black growth on siding, roofing, or a driveway is by far the most common thing that gets flagged. It's visible from the street, which is exactly what an HOA walkthrough is looking for.
What to expect
You usually have a real window
-
There's a deadline
HOA notices typically give a set window to fix the issue before a fine follows. Check the letter for the exact date.
-
A cleaning is often all it takes
No repairs needed in most cases. Getting the siding, roof, or concrete washed satisfies the notice.
Getting it done in time
No appointment needed to get a price
Every job is priced over the phone, so there's no waiting on an in-person estimate to get moving before a deadline. See house washing, roof cleaning, or driveway & concrete cleaning for what each covers.
