Parking garage and concrete problems rarely appear overnight — they usually start as small cracks, leaks, rust, water intrusion, worn sealants, or hidden deterioration that managers and boards may walk past for months or years. In this discussion, Scott Baryiewski of South Shore Construction and Tanner Oldenburger, PE, RS of Reserve Advisors explain the early warning signs managers should recognize, why water and salt are major enemies of concrete structures, how small maintenance issues can turn into major structural repairs, and why reserve planning is critical before a garage or façade project becomes overwhelming.

The conversation also covers when to call an engineer versus a qualified contractor, why not every contractor is suited for structural concrete or garage restoration work, how staging and resident disruption affect major projects, and why boards should think carefully about maintenance plans, inspections, funding, and long-term reserve strategies.
