Building Envelope Coordination
Roof, siding, gutters, paint, vendor sourcing, scope definition, and scheduling for community-wide work.
COMMUNITY TYPE · TOWNHOME
Townhome association management, attached housing, shared building elements.
Townhome HOAs sit between single-family and condominium in their governing pattern, Ch. 720 statutory frame, but with shared roofs, party walls, and common building elements that demand a different vendor mix and reserve scope.

Why townhome management isn't single-family management
Townhome HOAs are governed under FL Ch. 720, the same statute as single-family, but the operating profile is closer to a condominium. Roofs are shared across multiple units. Party walls require coordinated insurance and maintenance. Building envelope work (siding, paint, gutters, soffits) is association-level, not homeowner-level. Reserve studies look more like a condo's than a typical HOA's.
Generic HOA managers tend to under-resource townhome communities, fewer vendor relationships in building envelope, less reserve study sophistication, and ARC workflows calibrated for single-family changes that don't match what townhome residents actually need to request. Edison's townhome practice is staffed and tooled for the attached-housing reality.

The process
How townhome management runs differently
Cadence is similar; vendor mix and reserve scope are not.
01
Onboarding & Audit
Edison audits the master policy, current vendor contracts, and reserve study against the actual building inventory.
02
Monthly Operations
Property inspection, ARC processing, enforcement cycle, financial reporting. Consistent and predictable.
03
Capital Project Cycle
Edison sources, sequences, and coordinates building-envelope projects, typically roof, paint, gutters, soffit, on rolling schedules.
04
Annual Cycle
Budget season Jul–Nov, with building-component capital pacing built in. Reserve study refreshed on the study's schedule.
Townhome board frustrated by generic HOA management?
Let's talk. Edison can walk your board through how we'd approach your community's building inventory and vendor relationships.
Statutory FAQ
What boards ask about this most
Are townhomes governed under Ch. 720 or Ch. 718?
Almost always Ch. 720 (HOA). Townhomes are residential subdivisions even when units are attached, and they're typically declared under HOA documents rather than condominium documents. If your community is a 'townhome condominium' (rare but possible), it's under Ch. 718 and Edison's Condo Management pillar applies.
How are roof replacements handled?
Roof replacement is typically a community-wide capital project sequenced over multiple years to manage cash flow and contractor availability. Edison sources 3+ competing bids on roof scope, manages the contractor relationship, and coordinates resident notification building by building.
What about insurance, master policy or individual?
Townhome associations typically maintain a master policy covering the building envelope and shared elements, with homeowners responsible for interior coverage (HO-6). Edison coordinates the master policy and tracks vendor COIs against the community's risk profile.
Can my townhome owner make exterior changes?
Exterior changes go through the ARC like any HOA, but the bar tends to be higher for townhomes because changes affect the visual continuity of the attached row. Edison handles the workflow; the board's ARC sets the standards.
Do you handle smaller townhome communities?
Yes. Edison manages townhome associations from roughly 40 units up through 300+. Smaller communities benefit most from the boutique-portfolio model because there's less margin for operational drag.
