How Action Property Management Secured $230,000 in Savings for a Sacramento HOA’s Siding Repair Project

Discover how Action Property Management helped a severely underfunded Sacramento HOA complete essential siding and paint repairs for $70,000 instead of $300,000, leveraging trusted vendor partnerships to protect the community’s assets.

Case Study: Sacramento Community: Cost-Effective Siding and Paint Restoration

Challenge

A Sacramento-area HOA was in urgent need of major siding and paint repairs. Years of deferred maintenance due to underfunded reserves had left several buildings with dry rot extending to the studs and visible holes in the siding.

Previous Boards had postponed dues increases, leaving the Association with less than $400,000 in reserves insufficient to cover the $300,000 bids received from traditional contractors. The situation demanded an immediate yet financially viable solution to prevent further structural damage.

Solution

Action Property Management leveraged its strong vendor relationships to find an innovative alternative. The Community Manager reached out to a trusted small contractor who had successfully completed numerous projects for other Sacramento associations.

Though the contractor’s smaller team meant the project would take longer, he provided a high-quality, cost-effective proposal for approximately $70,000—a fraction of the previous bids. His willingness to collaborate and deliver exceptional work at scale demonstrated the strength of long-term partnerships built through Action’s network.

Results

  • Saved approximately $230,000 compared to original contractor bids.
  • Completed critical siding and paint repairs without depleting the Association’s limited reserves.
  • Prevented further structural damage and stabilized property conditions.
  • Established a foundation for future repair phases with a reliable, affordable partner.

Key Takeaway

Through strategic vendor relationships and proactive problem-solving, Action Property Management helped this Sacramento HOA achieve essential repairs at just a fraction of the cost. By combining experience, resourcefulness, and trusted partnerships, the community was able to protect its buildings and financial stability without sacrificing quality.
