Brick Pointing and Masonry Repairs

2019

Concrete Step Levelling

A  contract has now been awarded to rectify the gap that exists in many units between the first step and slab level with the driveways.  The process involves inject material under the slab to raise it and thereby eliminate the gap that currently exists. It is anticipated that this work will be performed on or about August 15, 2019.  This work can hopefully be completed with minimal disruption to residents.

2019 Reserve Fund Study

A Reserve Fund Study is scheduled for this year. A Reserve Fund Study is required every three years. This year, the study will include a site visit by the consultants who will inspect the property and buildings for any deficiencies that need to rectified. Owners will be sent a Notice of Future Funding upon completion to the report and approval by the Board of Directors.

2018 New Trees

It was with some regret that it was decided to remove a tree from the property as it was damaging the owner’s patio and was also a hazard to the foundation of at least one unit. In obtaining permission from the Town of Oakville for this tree removal, one condition was the requirement to plant two new trees on the property. These trees were planted in the fall in the open space between units 16 and 17.

2018 Wind Storm

On May 5, 2018 there was a significant storm which caused extensive damage in the GTA. Our development did not escape damage and major damage was done to the roof with many shingles being damaged. A few units also had the metal flashing on their roofs damaged. Our contractor responded promptly and all the damaged shingles were replaced within a week.
