A simple checklist for owners, HOAs and property managers before requesting a repair estimate for a shared perimeter wall.
Know whether the request is coming from a homeowner, HOA, property manager, landlord or commercial owner. Shared walls often require clear communication before work begins.
If access is available and permitted, photos from both sides can help show movement, cracking, landscaping and the wall base.
Approximate wall length, height, location of damage, nearest gate or pilaster, access constraints and whether the wall is shared are useful before an estimate.
HOA or neighbor approvals are project-administration issues. The repair scope should still be based on the wall condition and the work being authorized.
If the wall appears unsafe, keep your distance. Text photos to 623-226-0192 or call Desert Dreamco LLC for the next step.
