─ Residential & Community · HOA
From garden-style condos to high-rise towers, OH Building Services is the single-source partner Southern California HOA boards and community managers trust to align day-to-day maintenance with the reserve study, the CC&Rs, and CAI best practices.
─ The reality
Separate companies for janitorial, landscape, pool, painting, HVAC, plumbing, lighting, and roofing means 8 invoices, 8 COIs to track, and zero accountability when something falls through the cracks.
Component lives quietly slip past their useful life because no one is tying daily maintenance to the 30-year funding plan. Special assessments follow.
Every election cycle resets institutional memory. New treasurers inherit binders of contracts they can't audit and vendors they can't evaluate.
Slab leaks at 2 a.m., elevator entrapments, irrigation main breaks — the wrong vendor adds 6 hours and a $4,000 trip charge to every callout.
SB 326 / SB 721 balcony inspections, AB 1572 turf restrictions, CAL/OSHA pool chemistry, fire-lane re-striping — the regulatory load on a CA HOA grew faster than most management agreements.
Owners notice the dead palm and the faded paint long before they notice the roof. The board needs a partner who can phase visible work without blowing the operating fund.
─ How OH solves it
OH Building Services consolidates every routine and capital-adjacent trade an HOA needs — janitorial, common-area painting, grounds, pool deck, MEP, lighting, and minor structural — under one program, one PM, and one monthly report formatted for your board packet.
We map our scope directly to your reserve study. Every visit, our techs photo-log component condition for the items they're touching, so by the time your reserve specialist refreshes the study, you're handing them three years of field data instead of a binder of guesses.
Our community management partners across Orange, Los Angeles, San Diego, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Ventura counties report 18–25% lower total maintenance spend within 12 months of consolidation, with measurable drops in homeowner complaints and emergency callouts.

"We replaced six vendors with OH and our owners stopped emailing about the landscaping. Our reserve specialist asked who was photographing components — turns out it was already in the monthly report."
─ Case studies
A sample of hoas & condo associations engagements across Southern California — anonymized at the request of our clients, but the metrics are real.
A 1990s mid-rise replaced janitorial, landscape, pool, painting, lighting, and common-area HVAC vendors with OH. Within 11 months the board cut spend, eliminated emergency callouts on aging RTUs, and rebuilt three years of reserve component data.
OH designed and executed a phased turf-to-native conversion mapped to the reserve study and the association's operating budget — completed ahead of the AB 1572 compliance deadline with zero special assessment.
OH coordinated structural engineering, intrusive testing, and resulting balcony repair work for an aging downtown tower — completing the full SB 326 9-year cycle ahead of schedule with one set of plans, one PM, and one permit submittal.

Have a unique situation? Talk to a real PM, not a sales rep.
(888) 303-5551Yes. Our HOA program was built on CAI's Best Practices for Maintenance and our PMs are trained on Davis-Stirling-friendly contracting language — including bid disclosure, conflict-of-interest handling, and reserve study integration. We're happy to walk a board through how our scope maps to your governing docs.
We coordinate SB 326 (Civil Code §5551) visual and intrusive inspections through our licensed structural engineering and general contracting partners. We schedule, attend, and execute resulting repair work — and we keep all documentation in a board-accessible portal so your association is audit-ready ahead of the 9-year cycle.
When we onboard, we ask for your most recent reserve study and tag every component we touch — coatings, sealants, pool decks, asphalt, common HVAC — to its reserve line item. Each monthly report flags components nearing end-of-useful-life so your reserve specialist has field data, not estimates, at the next refresh.
Yes — your dedicated PM attends quarterly board meetings at no charge, and is available for special meetings when the board is voting on a major project. We come prepared with photo documentation, three competitive bids on capital items, and clear recommendations.
Our routine maintenance crews — janitorial, grounds, pool, lighting, painting, common-area MEP — are 100% W-2 OH employees, uniformed, badged, fingerprint-cleared, and English/Spanish bilingual. For specialty trades like elevator, roofing, and high-voltage, we use a vetted bench of licensed subcontractors with insurance verified before every dispatch.
Standard SLA is sub-2-hour site arrival anywhere in our six-county service area, with most after-hours callouts on-site in under 90 minutes. Slab leaks, elevator entrapments, gate failures, and storm response are all covered. Your board and manager get a real human on the dispatch line — not voicemail.
Routine work is billed on a flat monthly retainer based on a written scope; capital and on-demand work is billed at pre-disclosed unit rates with no markup on materials over a board-approved threshold. You see one invoice per month with line-item detail, photo documentation, and reserve-study tagging.
Yes — we maintain $5M general liability, $1M auto, $1M workers' comp, and we issue additional insured endorsements with waivers of subrogation within 24 hours of contract execution. Your association attorney is welcome to review our master COI before signing.
Free walkthrough, written findings, custom proposal — built around your property and your board.
