To all our neighbors in Delray Villas 3,

The roofing and painting project is scheduled to begin in early December. To help everyone prepare, we’ve put together a checklist of tasks that should be completed beforehand. This will ensure the painters and roofers can work efficiently and deliver the best possible results.

PRE-COMMENCEMENT CHECKLIST

1. Patios

It should take approximately 2–3 days from start to finish for each building to be painted.
The wall around the sliding glass doors in the front and back is considered an outside wall of the structure and will need to be painted.

• You will need to empty both patios, as the painters will be using a paint sprayer.

• If an enclosure has been added to the back, the painter will only paint the back wall. The painter will not paint any part of the enclosure itself.

• If you have patio or outdoor furniture, you will need to relocate these items at least 6 ft. away from the surface to be painted.

Front patio:

• The outside wall, ceiling, and shared wall will all be painted.

• The front patio must be empty and the walls bare.
  This means no decorative lighting, hanging decorations, or wall art on any surface that will be painted.

• If you leave small hooks or hangers, they will be painted along with the wall, so you don’t need to remove them as long as you are okay with them being painted.

Accordion hurricane shutters (sliding glass doors):

• Must be closed so they can be painted.

• Then must be opened so the painters can paint the window edge inside the shutter.

• All shutters must be operational. If they do not open and close, you will need to get them repaired before painting starts.

Accordion shutters on the rest of the building:

• Must also be fully operational to allow the painters to follow the same process.

Clam Shell Awnings:

• These will be pressure cleaned and painted, both the top and underside.

• They must be operational as well. If you cannot adjust them up and down, they must be repaired before painting begins.

HOLIDAY DECORATIONS

Any holiday decorations on or around patios or building surfaces must be removed before work begins.

Front Doors

• The front doors, door edges, and door frames are scheduled to be painted.

• The painter will need access, and the doors must be left open for at least 6 hours after the final coat is applied to allow for drying and ventilation.

• Someone with a key must be home during this entire process.

Patio/Roof Items

Anything attached to the roof, fascia, walls, or any part of the building must be removed before construction begins. This includes:

• Tree branches

• Cameras

• Lights

• Garden hoses

• Satellite dishes

If your address numbers are mounted on the fascia, they will need to be removed before the project begins and reinstalled once work is complete.
The Board will provide guidance in a future email on the style of house numbers to ensure a consistent community appearance.

Landscaping

• Landscaping against stucco walls must be trimmed to at least 2 ft. away from the walls.

• Landscaping must be trimmed down to window height.

• Potted plants and decorative items should be placed at least 4 ft. away from the walls.

Community Inspection & Required Corrections

The Board recently completed an inspection of the entire development. As a result, each homeowner will receive a notice outlining any issues—big or small—that need to be addressed no later than November 15th.

Construction is expected to begin around December 1st, but we cannot wait until the last minute to address necessary corrections.

We’ve also noticed several trees resting on roofs, which must be addressed as soon as possible. Some homeowners have large trees that will need to be removed by a professional, including stump grinding.

You are welcome to contact Danny, our landscaper, for assistance, but please note that his availability may be limited.

For questions, you may contact:

• Bill: b.a.goodgraff@gmail.com

• Or any Board member
