The Network

Two trades today. Built on one standard.

A small, accountable bench. Each trade we cover is delivered by a contractor we vetted personally and hold to performance standards every day they remain in the network. More trades on the way.

HOA-focused electrical care, built around the way community managers actually work.

Our vetted electrical partner provides a quarterly inspection and on-call service program designed specifically for community associations. Every visit produces a written report with photo-documented findings, code-compliance notes, and recommendations prioritized for budget planning. Boards get the documentation they need; managers get the time back they would otherwise spend chasing electrical issues between meetings.

Their program is built around predictability. Inspections arrive on the calendar. Reports arrive within three business days. After-hours emergencies get guaranteed response times under member agreements. The same lead technician returns to the property quarter after quarter, so nothing falls through the cracks between visits.

Capabilities

  • Common-area & exterior lighting
  • Electrical panels & service equipment
  • Emergency & exit lighting (life safety)

Common-area plumbing, water systems, and capital project planning for HOA communities.

Our vetted plumbing partner covers the systems Boards and managers actually have to plan around — domestic supply, pressure regulation, backflow certification, water heaters, sewer infrastructure, and pool / spa equipment. Inspection reports are written with reserve study and capital planning in mind, not just immediate fixes.

Their work spans both routine compliance (annual backflow testing, water-heater service, hydro-jet preventive maintenance) and the larger capital decisions Boards struggle to evaluate alone — sub-metering feasibility, gas-to-heat-pump conversions, and targeted re-pipe scopes. When an inspection turns up something significant, the report includes the full context, the cost ranges, and the payback math.

Capabilities

  • Common-area plumbing inspections
  • Water heaters & expansion systems
  • Backflow certification (annual testing)
  • Domestic main & pressure regulation
  • Pool, spa & water-feature plumbing
  • Sewer line camera & hydro-jet
  • Capital project planning & budgeting
  • Sub-metering feasibility & conversion
Trades In Onboarding

Trades we’re actively building relationships in.

Lighthouse adds slowly. We’re in active conversations with vetted contractors in each of the trades below. If your community has a need in any of these and can give us a few weeks, we’d welcome the conversation.

Concrete & Trip Hazard Repair

Sidewalk leveling, trip-hazard remediation, walkway repair, common-area concrete maintenance, and ADA-compliance scopes.

Garage Door & Gate Repair

Automatic gate operators, gate repair, garage door service, access control, and common-area entry equipment.

General Handyman & Common-Area Repairs

Punch-list scopes, small repairs that fall between specialty trades, common-area touch-ups, and the kind of work managers chase between Board meetings.

Painting

Touch-up and patch painting, building-by-building refresh scopes, trim and door refinishing, and mid-cycle exterior maintenance between full repaints.

Pool Service & Maintenance

Weekly pool and spa service, water chemistry and balance, equipment inspection and repair, pool heater service and replacement, pump and filter systems, automation, and pool-deck equipment maintenance — full ongoing care for community pools and spas.

Power Washing

Common-area concrete and walkway cleaning, building exterior wash, pool deck cleaning, and recurring scheduled service for HOA communities.

Termite Inspection & Repair

Annual termite inspections, treatment, and post-treatment wood repair scopes for HOA-maintained common areas and structural elements.

Each trade is added one at a time, only when the contractor meets the network’s standards — same vetting process as Electrical and Plumbing. If you have a community need now, reach out and we’ll let you know where things stand.

How Contractors Join

The standard a contractor must meet.

Lighthouse only works if the bench holds up. Every contractor we add to the network meets the same criteria — and is held to them every day they remain.

01 — Licensed & Insured

Properly credentialed for HOA work.

Active California state license for the relevant trade, current general liability coverage at minimum $2M, current workers’ compensation, and an insurance certificate on file we can produce on request.

02 — HOA Specialist

Demonstrated experience with associations.

Existing HOA references from at least three communities, familiarity with Board approval cycles and reserve study processes, and the ability to write inspection reports a Board can actually use.

03 — Performance Track Record

Past work that holds up to scrutiny.

Reference calls with prior management firms and Board members, review of completed scopes, and a track record of response times, communication, and follow-through that meets the standard a community manager needs.

04 — Continued Accountability

Performance is measured every job.

Response times, completion quality, Board satisfaction, and follow-through are tracked across every job in the network. Contractors who slip get a conversation and a chance to correct. Contractors who stay slipping leave the network.
