8/8/2025- This will be the last post as the project is complete! Yesterday, the walkthrough was completed with the Board to identify any touchups or cleaning. The crew was out this morning and completed all of the items on the list. Thank you for the opportunity to work on your community, and we look forward to working with you in the future. Enjoy the fresh look and the rest of the summer.
7/30/2025- Thankfully, we haven’t had any rain during the day, and the rest of the week looks dry. The crew is finishing up the back of the building, side 3, and will be moving to the last side tomorrow. If everything goes as planned, we should be wrapped up by Friday. Thank you for your patience and cooperation during the project.
7/25/2025- After getting caught by the rain on Wednesday, the crew arrived later yesterday to ensure all of the substrates were dry. The crew is back at it today, with hopes to finish side 2. They will be working tomorrow, and there’s finally 0% chance of rain across the board, but it will be hot and humid!
7/22/2025- The crew is currently finishing up side 2 (West-facing) and will move to side 3 (North-facing). This is the side that faces Legacy Oaks Trl. The weather is unstable, but it looks like it will hold off until this evening.
The trim repair has been applied and will be painted once the patch is ready.
7/21/2025- Unfortunately, because of the rain this morning, the crew was not able to complete any exterior work. They are still working on the west-facing elevation and will pick up where they left off when the weather permits. The forecast for this week isn’t looking great, but they will get as much done as possible.
The signs have been reinstalled, and the repair to the trim will be completed later this week.
7/18/2025- After a few wet days, the crew is wrapping up the painting on the front elevation. They will be working tomorrow and will be working on the west-facing elevation, side two, per the updated map. As you can see, there are a lot of different colors, so they’re taking the necessary time to make sure everything looks good.
7/15/2025- Yesterday, we completed a walkthrough with the Board of Directors to look at the work that was completed on the interior. Everything looked great. There were a couple of touch-ups and a few areas that needed to be cleaned up. These will be addressed promptly.
The exterior painting has commenced with the new color being applied to the shake siding. We discussed the exterior progression with the Board and decided to move clockwise instead of counterclockwise so the area over the parking garage access point can be done at the end. We will provide notice when this elevation will be worked on.
Now that we’re working on the exterior, the forecast will impact the work. This week, there’s rain forecasted today and tomorrow. This will impact the progress of the crew.
7/10/2025 – Yesterday, Duke Rental was out and tried to get the lift running, but were unable to get it started. They will be dropping off a new lift today. The crew still needs to pressure wash the East side of the building. (Parking garage access side). Weather permitting, they will begin prepping and painting the exterior.
The interior plan changed, and the crew focused on trim repairs and trim painting. They also started prepping the 1st floor and stairwell A. They will complete the painting of these areas today and are still on track to have the bulk of the interior work completed by the end of the week.
7/8/2025- After another very productive day inside, the painters were able to complete the 2nd floor hallway, exercise room, and stairwell A. Tomorrow, the plan is to tackle the 1st floor hallway and vestibule, stairwell B, and the parking garage common area. If all goes well, the bulk of the interior painting will be wrapped up by Thursday. There will still be some detailed wood/trim and wallpaper repairs, but the large painting crew will not need to be in the building and will move to the exterior.
Unfortunately, there was an issue with the aerial lift today, so the remaining pressure washing was not able to be finished. We are working with Duke Rentals to get the machine repaired or have a new one delivered, but we don’t know exactly when this will happen. Once this is figured out, the remaining pressure washing can be completed, and the exterior painting will begin.
7/7/2025- I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable 4th of July holiday weekend. With the pressure washing taking place on the exterior, there were extra painters on hand to tackle some additional interior locations.
Today, the painters were working in the community gathering room, the 3rd-floor hallway, and the 3rd-floor guest suite. They will be done or nearly done with all of these areas by the end of the day. Some of the smaller detail repairs will be completed towards the end of the project after the bulk of the painting is complete.
The plan for tomorrow is for them to work on the 2nd-floor hallway, the 2nd-floor fitness room, and the stairwell near the elevator.
The exterior pressure washing is almost done, but will be finished tomorrow. They will start painting the portions of the exterior that were washed today while the remaining washing is taking place.
On Monday, July 7th, the interior and exterior painting project is scheduled to begin. There will be two separate crews working simultaneously on the interior and exterior of the building. The dates for the exterior crew will be weather permitting. The approved work hours are Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM on Saturdays for the duration of the project. We expect the project to take approximately 4 weeks to complete.
The interior scope of work includes painting of all walls (no ceilings) and select millwork in the common area hallways, unit entrance alcoves, entrance area, and vestibule. The scope also includes the common use room walls in the trash rooms, the guest suite, and the exercise room. All previously enameled unit door frames, storage doors and frames, elevator doors and frames, and the basement and stairwell doors and frames.
The interior portion of the project will be completed in the following manner. The crew will begin in the gathering room and will complete this room so all of the wall-hung items in the common areas can be taken down and stored there while work is taking place in the rest of the building. This is expected to take two days to complete. A third party will be tasked with taking all of the items off the walls, and we will coordinate with them to get this done.
Once the gathering room is completed, the crew will move to the hallways and will start on the 3rd floor. While on each floor, the trash room and any common-use rooms will be painted at that time. The guest suite on the 3rd floor is included in the scope of work.
Once the third floor is complete, they will move to the second floor hallway and complete the trash room and exercise room. They will then move to the first-floor hallway, where the entrance area and vestibule will be completed.
After the first floor is complete, they will move to the stairwells and the basement to finish the interior work. We will close off one stairwell at a time and complete them one at a time. This will conclude the interior work.
The exterior scope of work includes the red shake, brown lap, and the cement board panel siding and trim. Before any painting starts, all substrates will receive a light pressure washing to remove any loose debris. While they’re pressure washing the siding, the Board requested that all deck floors be pressure-washed with the rest of the areas. This work is scheduled to start on Monday, July 7th, as well, and is expected to take two days to complete.
The plan for the exterior is to complete one elevation at a time. The front, south-facing (Oakcroft Pl), will be the first elevation completed. The crew will move counterclockwise around the building, moving to the right, East-facing (Parkers Lake Rd), then to the back, North-facing (Legacy Oaks Trl), and finishing on the left, West-facing (Bellwether Pth).
As with all construction projects, there will be an inconvenience placed on the residents. We will do our best to keep everyone updated on the progress and the next steps by updating the project blog and sending out mass emails. Please note that all interior painting will be completed with water-based interior paint with a gold, GreenGuard rating. Wall finishes are determined compliant in accordance with California Department of Public Health (CDPH) Standard Method V1.2-2017 using a Classroom Environment with an air change of 0.82 hr¯¹ and a loading of 94.60 m². ; and Wall finishes are determined compliant in accordance with California Department of Public Health (CDPH) Standard Method V1.2-2017 using an Office Environment with an air change of 0.68 hr¯¹ and a loading of 33.40 m².
There will still be a smell from these products, but they do not present any imminent harm to the residents or the crew. If needed, please open a window to allow fresh air inside your home.
