Beaver Brook Run -
Spring Clean Up:
LMS will be starting their spring clean up operations the week of March 17th. The crews will be cleaning winter debris, edging common beds and trees, and prepping for the season.
While they are on site, they are going to cut back any perennial shrubs or flowers that have been left in the beds. Please remove any personal items that may be in your planting beds to avoid possibility of damage.
If you do not want your perennials touched, please make sure you place your red flags in the beds no later than Sunday, March 16th. If you need red landscaping flags, please reach out to the management office, and they can be dropped off on Friday. At this time, only perennials shrubs/flowers will be cut back. You will be notified in advance when the crew comes to do the first round of trimming.
Softwashing:
The Board has hired Apex Softwash to remove mold, dirt, and algae from the exterior siding of the buildings. Weather permitting, the work will begin on March 17th. The “estimated” duration for completing the work is 12 working weekdays, with working hours from 8:00AM to 5PM. Apex can clean during wet weather. Inclement weather and other factors may cause a delay to the scheduled day/time frame.
Please note the following:
● Closure of Windows, Garage and Front/Rear Doors - Windows gets rinsed down during cleaning. It is essential that all windows and exterior doors of your units are securely closed prior to the commencement of the soft washing. This will prevent any water from entering your homes during the cleaning process. Homes that have open windows may result in areas not being cleaned. Locations that may look damaged may result in specific area not being cleaned
● Patio Gates: Please Unlock Rear Gate on scheduled cleaning day. Locked Gates will result in areas not being cleaned where access is needed.
● VEHICLES: Driveway/Parking: Please remove your vehicle from your driveway/parking space to provide working areas and avoid any debris getting on to your vehicles.
● Patio Items/Decorations/Personal Belongings: Furniture, grills, towels, coolers, shoes, potted plants, flags, garbage cans, etc. MUST be at least 5 feet away from siding. The contractor is not responsible for moving any item and will not be responsible for any damage if the item(s) is/are not moved.
● Outlets and Doorbell Cameras: During the cleaning, the contractor may need to cover/ bag/tape outlets and or doorbell cameras to protect them from water. Doorbell cameras may temporarily not have full vision if they are covered. Crew members may be near doors and windows to tape off those items.
● Pets: Apex is a pet-friendly company, but please walk any pets away from work and work truck areas while cleaning is happening at your location. Gated/Fenced Areas: Pets should be removed from the working area when cleaning your unit.
● Cleaning Soap: Apex will apply a citrus soap detergent that is biodegradable safe for plants and pets. During the cleaning a slight pool water smell could be present.
