42 homeowners are currently on the wait-list for replacement of their fences. 182 other homeowners are on a list created by a walk-thru of Beachwalk which also need replacement. This is over 50% of homes needing rear fences.(Front fences have not been reviewed) As of August 12, a contract has been let to create design concepts for Beachwalk to give the community more curb appeal. This includes new wood composite fence concepts which may save us as much as $5,000,000 in fence costs over the next 30 years. The new fences would require no maintenance, no painting, no replacement. They will have a conditional lifetime guarantee. Continuing to put in wood fences, while we are waiting for the contractor to decide on the new fence design, commits Beachwalk to 20 years of painting, maintenance and eventual replacement of these fences at unnecessary cost.

We have put an immediate halt on replacing old wood fences until the contractor blesses a new fence concept. This is anticipated to be about two months. The new fences will be worth the wait.
We appreciate your patience. |
