Balcony Inspections & Repairs

SB-326 & SB-721

Why Prioritize Balcony Inspections and Repairs?
Legal Compliance: California Senate Bill SB-326 * SB-721, also known as the "Balcony Inspection Bills," mandate regular inspections of exterior elevated elements, including balconies, in condominium & multi-residential properties. Our services are aligned with these regulations, ensuring that your property meets the necessary safety standards.
Risk Mitigation: Balconies are subject to wear and tear over time, which can compromise their structural integrity. Regular inspections help identify potential hazards such as dry-rot, termite damage, corrosion, or loose railings, mitigating the risk of accidents or structural failures.
Property Value: A well-maintained balcony adds to the aesthetic appeal and overall value of your property. By investing in professional inspections and repairs, you not only enhance safety but also preserve the long-term value of your investment.
Peace of Mind: Knowing that your balcony is structurally sound provides peace of mind for homeowners, property managers, and tenants alike. Our thorough inspection process and expert repairs ensure that your outdoor space is safe and secure for enjoyment.

What is SB 326 & 721

State of California Senate Bills 326 and 721, also known as “The Balcony Bill”, require property owners/associations to conduct an inspection of exterior elevated elements (i.e., balconies, decks, patios, stairways, walkways) in apartment and condominium complexes. This ensures tenant safety and protects property owners from potential building defects.

Which Buildings Are Affected By SB 721?

The law states that all buildings in California that has three or more multifamily dwelling units are required to have their exterior elevated elements inspected. This means any triplexes, quad- or fourplexes, and larger apartment buildings (including mixed-use properties) are affected.
