Our normal working hours are Monday through Friday, 7:30am – 4:30pm. Should the situation dictate, weekend work may be necessary, in which you will be given advanced notice.

How many construction workers will be on the property? How are they identified?

We expect to have several crew members on site on any given day (To Be Determined).

How are they identified?

All Charter personnel will wear hard hats and apparel with Charter’s logo. All subcontractor crew members also wear hard hats and wear apparel displaying their company logos and are under Charter’s supervision at all times. Additionally, all construction personnel will be wearing high visibility clothing as well (bright orange, yellow or green).

Will I receive advanced notice as to when construction is scheduled to begin at my Home?

Yes. All residents and/or unit owners will receive a General Notice approximately 5 days prior to the beginning of construction on their building. After which, residents and/or unit owners will receive an Interior Access Notice 48 hours before work begins for any interior work that specifically affects their unit.

What specific information will Charter provide after the project is completed?

How long will windows and doors remain out of their openings?

Windows and doors will be removed, and new or existing windows and doors will be installed within the same day. If for some reason the new window cannot be installed, the opening will be secured, temporarily with plywood for both safety and security.

How will the building be protected from rain when the exterior siding is removed?

Visqueen (plastic) sheathing will be used to protect the buildings on an as needed basis depending on the weather conditions.

Is the repair process messy and noisy?

Yes. We pride ourselves on keeping a clean work site and understand this is your home. Please know that we will do our best to keep a tidy workspace. Crews will walk through all work areas daily to sweep up construction debris. There may be banging, pounding, vibrations, etc. depending on the work being done in a specific area.

What specific information will Charter provide after the project is completed?

At the end of the job, Charter provides the Homeowner Association with an Operations and Maintenance Manual (O&M). The HOA Board will determine what information in this manual will be made available to the management company for inclusion in resale certificates. Charter will also provide photo-documentation of all stages of the project. The HOA Board will be given these photos to keep in their files. Owners can arrange with the HOA Board to view the Operations & Maintenance Manual (O&M) and photos.
