The logic behind the timing of painting and pressure washing in the community

We have received a few  comments about having the community pressure washed and painted over the summer.  As a result the board of Island Gate wanted to share the logic of choosing the summer to have the work done. 

This is the biggest project (financially) the community has ever undertaken and we wanted it done right.  There are many more people here in the summer than any other season and if there was an issue or complaint about the work we wanted feedback from the community immediately so we can address it promptly.  Not a few months later after the project was completed.

The summer is the time of year when people are around so home owners can have the front door opened while it is painted, improving the quality of the job.

Pressure washing is most effective when the weather is warm and the surfaces can dry promptly.

Warm weather allows paint to dry more evenly enabling better results.

We understand that items need to be removed from the decks to have them cleaned and some people like to have their windows opened during the summer time heat but pressure washing takes one day and we hope you understand that a relatively small inconvenience will make your homes and the overall community more attractive, better protected from the elements and more valuable. 

Thanks for your cooperation and as always,  if you have any questions or comments please contact AA or the board.

Thanks again
