SB 721 & SB 326 Repairs

California requires exterior elevated elements on apartment buildings (SB 721) and condominiums (SB 326) to be inspected on a schedule, and every finding has a deadline. We take the inspection report, price each item in writing, replace rotted framing and decking, rebuild waterproofing and flashing, secure railings, and document the work for the re-inspection. One crew, one schedule, no surprises for the board.

THE BALCONY REPAIR GUIDE

Know what the inspection
is really looking for

Why balconies rot from the inside

A balcony is a roof you walk on. When the coating, flashing or drain fails, water sits on the plywood and soaks the joists below. Nothing shows until the deck feels soft or the ceiling below stains. By then the framing is usually involved.

SB 721 and SB 326 in plain words

California requires exterior elevated elements on buildings with three or more units to be inspected by a qualified professional on a schedule. Findings come with deadlines. A qualified general contractor may inspect as well; in San Diego our sister company Kaminskiy Design & Remodeling does. We take the report and close out every item.

Repair versus rebuild

Localized rot at the edge or around a post can be cut out and replaced. Rot across the ledger or most joists means the balcony is rebuilt from the framing up. Either way the waterproofing is redone across the whole surface, or the repair becomes the next leak.

Keeping a balcony dry

Keep drains and scuppers clear, recoat before the coating cracks, caulk the wall joint, and never let planters sit on the deck without a tray. A five minute look every season saves a five figure rebuild.

Two California laws that require inspection of balconies, decks, walkways and stair landings on multi family buildings. SB 721 covers apartment buildings with three or more units. SB 326 covers condominiums and HOAs. Each sets an inspection schedule and repair deadlines for anything found. We do the repairs the inspection calls out.

Yes, in California. The law lets a general building contractor with five years as a license holder in multistory wood-frame construction perform the SB 721 inspection, alongside architects, engineers and certified building inspectors. In San Diego our sister company Kaminskiy Design & Remodeling, a general building contractor since 2008, performs the inspection and Kaminskiy Care and Repair does the repairs the report calls out. Condominium inspections under SB 326 need an engineer or an architect; we work from their report. See SB 721 inspection and repair in San Diego.

Often, yes. We replace the joists and decking that are gone back to sound wood, tie into the good framing and waterproof the whole surface so the repair does not become the next leak. If the damage is widespread we say so before we start.

You get a clear, written quote before any work begins. No surprises. Call and we can usually price your repair over the phone in minutes.

Every week. We give one written scope for the whole list, schedule around tenants, and send photos of the finished work. Ask about our maintenance plan for buildings with more than one balcony.
