emergency board up and repairs

OCBS recently responded to an after hours emergency call to secure a pool area that involved a traffic accident.  The Association was so pleased with the board up, securing and clean up of the active electrical lines and surrounding areas that they hired us to restore the area.  Our estimator worked closely with the insurance carrier to expedite the repairs and reopen the pool quickly.  Please see before and after pictures below.

The Corrosion Experts

All wrought iron surfaces require periodic maintenance to extend their useful life. Site specific issues such as irrigation spray from reclaimed water or coastal climate can cause corrosion, thereby shortening the life of wrought iron. Orange Coast Building Services has a wrought iron division dedicated to mitigating the damage caused by such conditions.  Orange Coast can develop and implement specifications for repairing, replacing, and painting  all sizes and types of wrought iron, from entrance gates to site-wide perimeter fencing.

In Hot Water

      We are pleased to announce completion of roof top boiler repairs at a mid-rise community in Playa Vista. Due to substandard workmanship during original construction the boiler pipes began to leak water onto the roof top, throughout the hallways, inside homes, and even into the subterranean parking structure. Our investigation discovered other deficiencies such as incorrect hot water circulating pump that Orange Coast also replaced concurrently with the boiler re-piping. After the roof top re-pipe and related repairs were complete OCBS seamlessly patched back drywall and stucco that was damaged by the leaks. OCBS orchestrated this process that minimized disruptions to the homeowners while allowing attorney and expert access since the property is in litigation. Our findings will aid in the recovery of costs incurred prematurely by this association. The earlier OCBS is involved the greater the opportunity you have to reduce or recover costs.
