The 2025 Readers’ Choice Awards
voting is now open!

2024 Readers’ Choice Awards

Published March 2024

Welcome to the eleventh-year anniversary of the Readers’ Choice Awards (RCA)! It has been amazing to see the RCA’s growing momentum in the last decade.

When the first RCA took place in March 2014, 3,800 votes were cast, 155 service providers were nominated, and 37 companies rose to the top to receive awards. Fast forward to March 2024, and we counted more than 11,400 ballots cast with 305 service providers nominated, with 223 companies recognized as award winners.

There are three levels of recognition: Diamond (top), Platinum, and Gold. Winning service providers were classified in one of the levels according to the number of votes they received. There is no category winner, so multiple service providers in the same industry can attain the same level if they receive similar vote totals.

Florida Community Association Journal is excited to present these winning service providers, who were selected by you, as those companies that work primarily with community associations and do it well!

That’s where DSS Condo comes in. When you hire DSS Condo as your owners’ representative, you’re taking the most important step toward a successful restoration or renovation project.

Authorized personnel must be able to communicate with trapped passengers who cannot verbally communicate or hear.
Monitoring parties must be able to notify those in the elevator that help is on the way.

Southern Chute

Diamond Level Winner—Property Services
(Winner 2024 and eight previous RCA wins)

Southern Chute was born in 2001 when brothers Chet and Sandy Ribner saw the need for a system to clean trash chutes in high-rise buildings. Once they began cleaning chutes, they saw that there was an almost greater need for repairs to the chute doors and the chutes themselves.

In 2004 we purchased our own warehouse/office space in Fort Lauderdale, and in 2012 we opened our office in Fort Myers. In the last 23 years, we have grown from humble beginnings to the following:

Offices on both coasts to service the east and west coasts of Florida
State-licensed sheet metal contractors
Our website www.trashchuteparts.com selling UL-rated trash chute doors and parts, all over the country
Manufacturing of our own highly rated and tested trash chute doors
A team of 24 employees
Leading specialists in replacement of trash chutes in existing buildings
Still family-owned and -operated

In addition to trash chute cleaning and door repairs, we offer a wide range of options for odor control in trash rooms, replacement of partial or entire trash chute systems, and dryer vent cleaning.

Joanna became president in 2016, with Sandy as VP. As buildings soar higher and higher on the skyline, Southern Chute will aim higher to meet our customers’ expectations—and to continue to be Diamond Award Winners!

Stone Building Solutions

Diamond Level Winner—Construction, Engineering and Building Services and Property Services
(Winner 2024 and three previous RCA wins)

Bradley (R)—the titans of SB 154, fixing condominiums structurally & fiscally—keep showing this new era of safety is here (to stay), but at a price. Still, condominiums are often paying for wrong reports. 2024 is a deadline. We’re the property Navy Seals that you can afford.

A pioneer, one-stop-boutique, the Stone brand provides five premium reports from one inspection; faster and cheaper than involving five companies. Led by a world-renowned engineer, we don’t just stamp or discuss buildings. We build and monitor them. One billion-plus dollars in the last decade and 200 years of combined excellence—a couple of reasons to roll with Stone for a total building solution:

Simplified value-engineering. Are you safe or not? We stretch your money further. Whatever our milestone or recertification report says is not to bankrupt you but to guarantee structural safety. We seek everything in Phase I to avoid Phase II. If your issues need Phase II or construction monitoring, we’ll know the right SOW, contractor, and price.

Reserve Studies. Unexpected assessments? Expect stone (cash) assessments instead to keep boards happy, pockets full, andcondominiums beautiful. There are 488 reserve specialists in the U.S. One of them works for us.

SIRS? We replace systems that make sense to be replaced.

Valuation Appraisals. Insurers want the right premiums. You need the right coverages. Measuring all structures exactly, Stone covers you well.

Damage Claims. Insurance adjusters work for insurance companies. We have worked for you since ‘99, on 100 pervcent contingency.

Tap2Open

Platinum Level Winner—Safety and Security
(Winner 2024 and two previous RCA wins)

Tap2Open is a smartphone app to control access for gated communities. Residents can send invites via email or text message. Guests can let themselves in when they arrive without waiting in line for the guard or using a callbox. They simply click on a link in the message, and it opens the gate. It works on doors, too. Best of all, guests don’t have to install an app. Residents can also use their smartphones to open the gates like a remote!

Guests can only open the gate during the time period(s) specified in the invitation. The system logs every entry and will send the resident a notification when the guest arrives. All administration is done through an easy-to-use browser interface.

This can work stand-alone or with existing systems like RFID scanners, guards, remotes, or bar code readers. We also have a module for guards and a keypad option for people without smartphones. It’s also an intelligent replacement for callboxes.

Waiting in line at the guard station or callbox is a major inconvenience and a complete waste of time for your guests. Eliminate the wait at the gate!
