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.

commercial construction and repair

Our excellent reputation for HOA work has leaked out to the commercial real estate community. We recently responded to a call from a nation-wide sporting goods retailer to fix  roof leaks that prior contractors were unable to fix. They were so pleased with our work that they have contacted us for additional roof repairs. OCBS is also putting the finishing touches on roof and structural repairs at a local Orange County auto dealership. Please call us regarding your commercial construction and repair needs.

H.O.A. Destructive Testing Mastery

A letter from one more satisfied customer from our recent destructive testing in Playa Vista, Ca.

Destructive Testing

Since its inception, Orange Coast Building Services has performed Destructive Testing for hundreds of clients throughout California and Oregon. Continuing this tradition Orange Coast Building Services is pleased to announce two Destructive Testing projects in the Los Angeles area. Orange Coast Building Services, Inc. will be performing these tests as an unbiased participant.

Destructive Testing on a 128 unit condominium complex in Playa Vista, California is currently underway. The scope of work has come from various parties such as structural, civil, architectural, mechanical, geotechnical engineers as well as roofing and waterproofing experts.

The other DT in Bel Air, California is scheduled to begin in the next couple of weeks. This will be the largest single family custom home (16,000 sf.) that OCBS has performed invasive tests on.

This DT consists of water testing windows, decks, trellises, and columns. Sections of the roof membrane will be removed, inspected, and patched back. Core samples will be taken at the pool and at a retaining wall to verify the composition of construction.

Orange Coast has dedicated vehicles specifically designed and fully stocked with a wide variety of equipment and supplies for Destructive Testing. These trucks contain everything needed for efficient testing and patch back such as:

• Spray racks for water testing,
• visqueen, tarps, and surgical booties to protect interiors of homes
• stucco, drywall and insulation for same-day patch back

See pictures below of our "Ice Cream Truck" one of our mobile supply vehicles dedicated to this type of testing.

Monthly Maintenance Manuals, Maintenance Agreements, and Annual Site Inspections

Has your Homeowner Association paid thousands of dollars for a required maintenance manual that's collecting dust?

Maintenance Manuals can be essential in protecting the warranty period for newer developments. Maintenance Manuals are equally important in older communities for managers and homeowners to assist them with preventative maintenance to avoid future costly repairs. 

OCBS can implement your existing cumbersome maintenance manual or create a streamlined one from scratch. Whether monthly, quarterly, or annually your Maintenance Agreement is tailor fit to suit any budget. Orange Coast provides hassle-free maintenance and detailed reporting including photos of items in your maintenance manual's checklists.

OCBS also offers annual sitewide maintenance inspections and recommendation reports that are imposed by either the California Civil Code or your Homeowner Association's CC&R's.
