California’s balcony safety laws require property owners and HOA boards to take action — often with limited guidance and tight timelines. Inspection reports can be technical, estimates can vary widely, and the pressure to act quickly can lead to costly decisions.
Many owners ask the same questions: What’s actually required? Are these repairs reasonable? And who can we trust to guide us without pushing unnecessary work?
We act as an independent compliance advisor, helping you understand inspection findings, evaluate repair options, and compare qualified estimates — so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.
Our role isn’t to sell construction. It’s to help you make informed, defensible decisions that protect your property, your residents, and your budget.
Upload your inspection report, plans, photos, or compliance notice. If you’re still preparing for an inspection, we can help you understand what to expect and how to prepare.
We review the materials to understand your property type, scope, and applicable SB-326 or SB-721 requirements.
We help you interpret inspection findings and identify realistic paths forward — including repair vs. retrofit considerations, sequencing, and common red flags to watch for.
Our role is to provide clarity, not to push a predetermined solution.
When repairs or retrofits are needed, we help coordinate multiple qualified estimates so you can compare scope, cost, and approach side-by-side.
This gives HOA boards and property owners the documentation and confidence needed to make informed, defensible decisions.
In some cases, Balcony & Deck Advisors may submit an estimate for repair work. Property owners are encouraged to review multiple qualified bids before making a decision.
Support before or after inspections to help you understand what’s being evaluated and how findings are typically documented under SB-326 and SB-721.
Clear explanation of timelines, and responsibilities for HOAs and multi-family property owners in Los Angeles and throughout Southern California.
Guidance on common repair and retrofit approaches so you understand options before committing to a scope of work.
When repairs are needed, we help coordinate multiple independent estimates so you can compare scope, pricing, and approach side-by-side.
Balcony and deck compliance decisions involve multiple stakeholders — each with different responsibilities, risks, and timelines. We work with each group in a way that supports clear decision-making and defensible outcomes.
Clear Guidance for Board-Level Decisions
HOA boards are tasked with balancing safety, compliance, and fiduciary responsibility — often under tight deadlines and with limited technical background.
We help HOA boards:
Understand inspection findings and compliance obligations
Evaluate repair and retrofit options in plain language
Compare qualified estimates with clarity on scope and cost
Prepare documentation to support board votes and records
Our approach supports transparent, well-documented decisions that stand up to owner scrutiny and regulatory requirements.
Practical Support for Day-to-Day Execution
Property managers are often responsible for coordinating inspections, managing vendors, and keeping projects moving — all while communicating clearly with owners and boards.
We assist property managers by:
Clarifying compliance requirements and timelines
Helping interpret inspection reports and next steps
Coordinating qualified estimates when repairs are needed
Supporting communication with boards and ownership groups
Our role is to reduce friction and uncertainty so projects move forward efficiently.
Informed Decisions That Protect Assets and Budgets
Owners and investors need clear information to evaluate risk, prioritize repairs, and plan capital improvements without unnecessary escalation.
We support owners by:
Explaining compliance requirements for their property type
Identifying practical paths forward after inspections
Helping evaluate repair and retrofit scopes and costs
Providing clarity before committing to major expenditures
Whether you’re responding to an inspection or planning ahead, we help you move forward with confidence.
Balcony and deck compliance isn’t just about understanding the rules — it’s about managing inspections, timelines, vendors, and decisions without disruption or unnecessary cost. Our approach is structured, practical, and designed to work within how properties are actually managed.
We follow a defined, repeatable process that helps reduce confusion and keeps projects moving forward — from initial review through inspection follow-up and repair decision-making.
You’ll always know:
What step you’re in
What decisions are required
What information is still needed
Our work starts with understanding what’s required under SB-326 and SB-721 — not pushing a pre-set repair solution.
When repair work is needed, our role is to help ensure scopes are clear, comparable, and appropriate for the findings.
We’re accustomed to working within HOA governance structures and property management workflows.
That means:
Clear documentation for board review
Practical timelines that reflect real-world constraints
Support for vendor coordination and follow-up
Clear communication that reduces back-and-forth
When applicable, we may provide a qualified estimate alongside other contractors for comparison. We encourage reviewing multiple bids so decisions are informed, documented, and defensible.
This transparency supports better outcomes and fewer surprises during execution.
We work with properties throughout Los Angeles and Southern California and understand:
Local inspection expectations
Common balcony and deck conditions
Typical sequencing and repair considerations
This local familiarity helps projects progress more smoothly.
If you’re like most property owners or HOA board members, you probably have questions before taking the next step. Here are a few we hear most often.
SB-326 generally applies to condominium and HOA-governed buildings, while SB-721 applies to multi-family apartment buildings with three or more units. The specific requirements depend on your property type, age, and balcony conditions.
After an inspection, property owners typically receive a report outlining observed conditions and recommended actions. The next steps can vary widely — from monitoring and maintenance to repairs or retrofits.
Not necessarily. Some items may require prompt attention, while others may be recommended or phased over time depending on severity and risk.
Yes. When repair work is needed, we help coordinate and review multiple qualified estimates so you can compare scope, pricing, and approach with clarity.
We provide compliance guidance, inspection coordination, and repair advisory services. When required, inspections and engineering evaluations are performed by appropriately licensed professionals.
Balcony and deck compliance decisions often involve multiple stakeholders and high scrutiny. Clients value our structured approach, clear communication, and practical guidance.
