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.

The quarterly rhythm is also where larger opportunities surface — aging fixtures flagged for LED retrofit, panels nearing capacity, lighting controls that could be modernized. When a Board is ready to act, the same partner brings the proposal with budget ranges, rebate context, and payback math the Board can put in a meeting packet. For ongoing service, member communities can also enroll in a three-tier program with lamp maintenance, locked labor rates, and priority response.

Capabilities

  • Common-area & exterior lighting
  • LED retrofits & lighting upgrades
  • Electrical panels & service equipment
  • Emergency & exit lighting (life safety)
  • GFCI & safety circuit verification
  • Lighting controls, photocells & timeclocks
  • EV charging infrastructure
  • Code & compliance review

Common-area plumbing services for HOA-maintained systems — routine maintenance, repairs, and capital planning.

Our vetted plumbing partner handles the everyday plumbing work HOAs actually call about — leak response, water heater service and replacement, hose bibs, and the routine compliance items every community has to keep current. Annual backflow certification is a particular focus: it’s required by law, easy to let slip, and the kind of recurring service that keeps a community in good standing without anyone having to chase it.

When something larger comes up — a failing pressure-reducing valve, or a sub-metering conversion that could save the association meaningful money — the same partner writes the proposal with reserve-study context, cost ranges, and the payback math. The work is positioned to keep small things small, and to give the Board a real partner when something big lands on the agenda.

Capabilities

  • Common-area plumbing inspections
  • Backflow certification (annual testing)
  • Water heaters & expansion systems
  • Domestic main & pressure regulation
  • Hose bibs & exterior plumbing
  • Leak detection & emergency response
  • Sub-metering feasibility & conversion
  • Capital project planning & budgeting

Common-area painting and wood repair for HOA communities — termite damage repair and repaint, mid-cycle refreshes, and the scopes most paint companies pass on.

Our vetted painting partner specializes in the work big paint companies decline — common-area touch-ups, mid-cycle building refreshes, termite-related wood repair followed by paint, and the smaller scopes that don’t fit a full-repaint contract. The work HOAs actually need between major repaint cycles, handled by a partner who shows up for it.

Termite damage repair is a particular focus. Most painters won’t touch wood that needs structural patching first, so HOAs end up coordinating between a termite contractor, a wood-repair specialist, and a painter — three vendors, three schedules, three callbacks. Our partner handles the wood repair and the repaint as a single scope, so the Board sees one proposal and one finish.

Proposals come with scope-locked pricing, color-matching from on-site samples, and photo documentation before and after. The operational discipline of a contractor that works HOA scopes full-time, not as fill-in between residential repaints.

Capabilities

  • Termite-related wood repair & paint
  • Common-area touch-up painting
  • Building-by-building refresh scopes
  • Wood replacement (fascia, trim, siding)
  • Stucco patch & paint
  • Trim, door & fence refinishing
  • Color matching & consultation
  • Mid-cycle exterior maintenance
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.

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.

Each trade is added one at a time, only when the contractor meets the network’s standards — the same vetting process as the three active trades above. 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.
