Wood Replacement Update

Posted by VermontVillas on Saturday, September 5, 2015, In : Maintenance 
All 22 buildings have now had their wood fascia replaced and painted, and have been re-paneled with Hardie Board, a fiber-cement product that simulates wood. This project began over four years ago and was accomplished by our maintenance company, with the cooperation of all residents and owners. The new-look exterior hopefully will last for many years. A new community improvement project, to be determined by the Board at the next meeting, will begin soon!

Gates

Posted by VermontVillas on Friday, October 25, 2013, In : Maintenance 
Our pedestrian gate on Vermont Ave. was recently repaired.  All of our gates get heavy use, taking on hundreds of open and close cycles per day.  Maintenance/repair is costly.  Please:

-- Only provide the gate code to trusted friends, family and authorized delivery personnel
