A nonprofit that offers education, resources and research for homeowners associations, community managers and board members.
The Community Associations Institute, known as CAI, describes itself as an organization that offers education, resources and research for community associations, including board members and managers. Many Nashville neighborhoods have an HOA or architectural committee that reviews fences, so owners and managers often look for plain information about how associations work and how reviews are handled.
We are an independent company and are not part of CAI. When an HOA is involved, we help owners read their guidelines, choose a compliant style and height and prepare drawings, photos and samples for the committee. We also work with boards and managers on perimeter fences, pool barriers and repairs, with written scopes that are easy to compare.
