Club House Renovations Completed

The Oakleigh HOA has completed its renovation of the Club House as planned for 2010. The exterior of the Club House has been painted as projected. We were able to paint not only the Club House but the pool buildings, benches and trellises in the pool area for the price originally budgeted for the Club House alone. That's twice the job for the same price. Only the Tennis Pavilion has not been done. It will be painted next spring.

In the process of painting the Club House it was discovered that the roof (which we had hoped to replace next year) had a significant number of major leaks that could not be left until next spring to repair. Also the pool building had a number of missing shingles. Therefore, the HOA found it necessary to replace these roofs immediately. Twenty eight sheets of decking had to be replaced before the new shingles could be installed. Nevertheless, we were able to replace all the shingled roofs with 30 year architectural shingles and add a ridge vent to the Club House roof for $2,000 less than originally estimated. The money to pay for the new roof will be transferred from the HOA's Reserve Funds, which are more than adequate to cover the cost.

The painting was done by Highland Park Painters. The roof was replaced by Findley Roofing.
