Deck and Painting Project Update

Residents were previously notified that the Board has contracted with Premier Commercial Painting to restore and repaint the white trim and stucco throughout the community. The painting project was originally anticipated to begin in Fall 2025, however, has been pushed back to Spring 2026 in order to allow for more time to complete the deck repairs as this work should be done prior to painting. Some decks that will require scaffolding in order to complete the repairs will be done in conjunction with the painting project as the scaffolding will already be in place.

The trim painting project is being coordinated with the deck repairs that are currently in process.  These repairs are intended not only to address existing rot and termite damage but to begin to replace the fir posts and rails with redwood which is more rot and termite resistant.  Over time, arrangements will be made with all unit owners (if they haven’t already) to inspect each deck and repair it as needed.  The Board has engaged John Copeland for consulting services, and with John’s recommendation, the Board has engaged contractor Dave Weld to perform the repairs.  He has completed several balconies and the Board has been impressed with the quality of the work.

The contractor will be working through the units in the buildings. Some units in the buildings have had their decks addressed in the past couple of years, and some have not. The contractor is also working on addressing any exterior termite damage on the buildings in conjunction with the deck repairs. The following building will have been completed as of the end of October 2025:

Building #	Units
400	34311 – 34341 Violet Lantern

The remaining buildings will be completed in the estimated order:

Building #	Units
500	34351 – 34371 Violet Lantern
700	24532 – 24542 Santa Clara
200	34302 – 34312 Amber Lantern
300	24552 – 24582 Santa Clara
600	24586 – 24606 Santa Clara
100	34322 – 34342 Amber Lantern

The contractor will be reaching out to the owner directly when it is time to coordinate their inspection. More communication will be sent as to when the repainting project is scheduled once it has been set. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Management.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation as we complete this important maintenance which will enhance the appearance and value of our beautiful community.
