HOA Management Ann Arbor Boards Can Actually See
Three things we hear from every Ann Arbor board that calls us: their last company was hard to reach, the financials raised more questions than they answered, and the building fell further behind every year. We fix all three.
The same three problems, every time
You'd email on Monday. Hear back Thursday — if you were lucky. Unit owners called you directly because the management company was unresponsive. Your board spent evenings answering questions that should have been handled professionally.
APM responds to all communications within one business day. Residents use the app. Boards have a direct line. There's no black hole.
You got a PDF every month. It looked professional. But you couldn't tell if the reserves were adequately funded, why one expense line jumped 40%, or what the bank balance actually was at any given moment.
Live board dashboard. Real bank balances — not a snapshot from two weeks ago. Aged receivables. Every vendor invoice. You see it when it happens, not at the monthly meeting.
Deferred maintenance compounded every year. The roof that needed attention in 2021 became an emergency in 2023 and a $90,000 special assessment in 2024. Proactive planning wasn't part of what you got.
We inspect, plan, and schedule capital repairs before they become emergencies. Your reserve study gets real data. Your board gets real choices — not crisis management.
Management built for Ann Arbor's high-expectation communities
Ann Arbor's condo stock skews older — buildings from the 1970s and 1980s that need active capital planning, not passive oversight. The homeowner base is highly engaged, analytically-minded, and quick to identify when a management company is coasting.
A significant portion of Ann Arbor condo owners — especially near the U-M campus — are absentee investors or rental landlords. Enforcement, communication with non-resident owners, and documented compliance matter more here than in newer suburban communities.
APM brings the operational depth older Ann Arbor buildings need and the transparency that engaged Ann Arbor boards expect. One platform. Full visibility.
Work we've led in Michigan communities
Every project below was planned proactively — not as an emergency. Before-and-after documentation is stored permanently in the board dashboard and available for reserve study and insurance purposes.
Roof Replacement
Full multi-unit roof replacement — deteriorated 3-tab shingles replaced with architectural shingles. Coordinated with insurance carrier for storm damage claim documentation.
Siding Repair & Replacement
Damaged vinyl siding replaced with fiber cement board siding — significantly longer service life and improved curb appeal. Project planned 18 months ahead of full failure.
Sidewalk Raising & Stair/Railing Replacement
Heaved sidewalk slabs raised via polyurethane lift — trip hazard eliminated without full replacement cost. Separate stair and railing replacement project completed same season.
Asphalt Hot-Patch Repairs
Pothole and heave damage repaired with professional hot-patch before winter freeze — preventing damage from expanding into full lot resurfacing requirement.
