Friday, May 8th: Greetings and welcome to your project blog for this year’s prep and painting at Shady Oak Neighbors! We are thrilled to be back onsite and completing the designated painting for this year. 

This spring’s project included these buildings: 10920-10928 Abbott Lane, 5924-5936 Carter Lane, 5925-5945 Carter Lane, 5901-5921 Carter Lane, and 5900-5920 Carter Lane.

We’ll be kicking off your project on Monday, May 11th and Tuesday,  May 12th with pressure washing of Buildings #1 and #2 respectively. Once they are washed and have had time to dry completely, the crew will return to begin their prep and painting — this is tentatively set for Thursday, May 14th on Building #1 and on Tuesday, May 19th for Building #2. The weather will be the biggest factor in any changes to the finishing schedule. 

You can continue to follow the project progress here on the blog as we’ll provide frequent updates with progress made, project photos, and any delays should they come up. 

Much like last year’s project, we’ll be completing carpentry repairs on select areas in advance of our prep and painting. 

We are looking forward to being onsite and sprucing up your buildings. Have a great weekend and we’ll see you on Monday!
