MacLaren Hill Condominiums – St. Paul

Greetings and welcome to your project blog for the upcoming painting project at MacLaren Hill Condominiums. We are thrilled to be working with and for you this spring and summer! See below for a map and project welcome video!

Friday, June 13th: Friday is here and the crew has begun to follow the path of the carpentry team. Our crew has access to water and is also enjoying the rain that is falling from the sky today!

Here is an action shot of the pressure washing in action below:

Check back frequently for updates early next week – we hope you are able to find some sunshine on these dreary, rainy days.

Thursday, June 12th: Happy Thursday

The crews were out to begin pressure washing but there were water access issues which prevented us from beginning as planned. This is now resolved and so the pressure washing will begin tomorrow – June 13th.

Wednesday, June 11th: Happy Wednesday to all of you in Saint Paul!

Pressure washing is still planned for tomorrow and we’re excited to kick off this portion of the project. We should have some photos and another video update from the job site.

We hope you have been enjoying the start of the summer season!

Monday, June 9th: Hello residents! The crew has continued with carpentry repairs on Building#1 and is making good progress. We are hoping for a relatively good week without any rain delays! Take a look at a welcome video from our Project Manager, Danielle to get more details on the upcoming work.

The current plan is for pressure washing to begin behind the construction team and are looking at starting on the 1412/1410 (Building #1) on Thursday 6/12.

We are working on a notice to provide to your management company and they will be notifying all of you residents as well about what to expect.

Have a great week!

Tuesday, June 3rd: Rain may slow us down today but we hope to be resuming tomorrow!

Monday, June 2nd: Happy Monday and welcome to June! Today is hot and windy but we are working on Building #1 and making good time around the building. We will try to get more photos of the crew in progress mid-week and get a sense of when the pressure washing will plan to start on Building #1. Have a great start to your week!

Friday, May 30th: Happy Friday to all! Here are some progress photos of the work that has begun at MacLaren Hill. As you can see they are working on the part of the building that borders Carling Drive. Look for another update next week as we work to make our way around Building #1. Have a great weekend!

Thursday, May 29th: Greetings and welcome to the first day of the carpentry work on the project. It looks like we will have a few good days of weather and we’re hoping to make headway on the repairs!

Building #1 work is in progress – we will update you as we have more information on the schedule. It is a privilege to do work with and for you – thank you and thanks for your patience as we take care of improving your exteriors.

Tuesday, May 27th: Hello Residents of MacLaren Hill Apartments / Condominiums! 

We hope you had a nice Memorial Day weekend. Carpentry work is planned to start on Thursday, May 29th. You can expect an update on Thursday and also Friday this week!

We’re excited to get the project started this week. Until next time…

Friday, May 23rd: Greetings Residents of MacLaren Hill Apartments / Condominiums!

Welcome to your project blog for the upcoming painting project. We are looking forward to refreshing your exteriors!

We anticipate the carpentry portion to take 1.5 to 2 weeks per building, depending on weather. The carpentry work is targeted to begin mid-week during the week of May 27th. Pressure washing will follow behind the carpentry work and we will communicate the start date for that when we have that available. To view additional information about the project, including the crews planned sequence / painting schedule or any weather-related delays, please visit this blog for frequent updates.

We kindly request that residents remove all personal items from your outdoor area so the crew can pressure wash and allow for safe and unobstructed access for repairs & washing. Please note that management is not responsible for damage to personal property.

The crew will complete the carpentry in order of the map above. The pressure washing will follow shortly afterwards, working behind the carpentry crew.  After the surfaces have been washed, the surface will need time to dry before the prep work begins. Overall, carpentry work is expected to take 4–6 weeks. However, work in your specific area will only take a few days. We will send additional notices before painting begins later this summer, so you can plan accordingly.

If you have any immediate questions or concerns, please contact the property manager if you live in the apartments (Buildings 1370/1410/1412) or board member Hernandez if you live in the condominiums (Buildings 1372/1390/1392).

We are looking forward to getting started and working with and for you again this spring and summer!
