The crew essentially wrapped things up on Friday, 7/1 and now it’s just a matter of coordinating schedules so your project supervisor, Jesse, can come out and mark areas in need of touch up with blue tape.

Tuesday, May 10th: Greetings Residents of Lakes Citihomes!

Welcome to your project blog for the upcoming painting project. We are looking forward to refreshing your decks & garage doors!

We are starting with pressure washing the included decks on Buildings #1 – #12. For this year’s project, we’ll be prepping, painting, and staining your rear decks including pillars, headers, railings, skirts, floors, and undersides steps as well as garage doors.

The decks facing the railroad tracks on Buildings 1-5 do NOT need to clear off their decks as those were already completed last year with the exception of the rooftop decks & cantilevered decks. The rooftop & cantilevered decks on Buildings 1-12 will be included in this years scope of work.

We kindly request that homeowners remove personal items off their deck to allow for safe & unobstructed access for washing.

Once the substrates have had time to dry, the crew will return to begin preparation & painting. We will be phasing out the buildings starting with Building 12 and working our way down by building. We are projecting the painting work on building 12 to begin as soon as Friday, May 20th.

The best way to obtain a project status update and any impact it may have on your daily routine will be posted here as we’ll share progress throughout, photos, and any weather delays.

Please reach out to the contacts below if you have any questions.

We’re looking forward to getting started next week!
