At this HOA clubhouse, the repair question was not what was visible. It was what was inside the stone-clad columns.
SCS was brought in to inspect concerns following prior construction. Behind the stone finish, the wood posts had been exposed to water and showed significant decay, often called dry rot.
Before a property team can set a repair scope or budget, it needs a clear picture of the existing conditions, including what may be concealed behind an exterior finish.
For this project, our team is reviewing the affected columns, site access and logistics, and the most practical path to repair or replace the compromised components.
SCS helps Bay Area and W**e Country HOA properties inspect exterior construction defects, understand the work required, and plan repairs with a clear scope.
