Maintenance & Improvements

Why is a maintenance request I reported that has been completed still show as being in progress in the Resident Center?

Most often it’s because the contractor assigned to the work hasn’t billed for it yet. While there are some exceptions, we typically don’t close requests until the final bill has been received for the work. In the case of some contractors, this can take up to several months, as not all of them are expedient with their billing. If you know the work is done, this is nothing to be concerned with.

I’m in need of new windows and/or doors. Can you offer a recommendation?

We provide recommendations based on contractors and vendors we work with and their consent to being included on this list. We do not receive any “kickbacks” or other incentives for sharing their information, and we do so strictly as a courtesy to the homeowners we serve and because we believe in the quality and price of their work. None of the contractors below are affiliated directly or indirectly with A. Jenning Properties nor any of its staff members. As these are simply recommendations, we also cannot accept any liability for conflicts and issues that may arise later with these contractors.

I’m making a change to the interior of my property. Do I need approval to do this?

Generally, no. If your improvements won’t affect any elements the association is responsible for, approval is not needed. This would include load-bearing walls and, more rarely applicable, plumbing and electrical systems that are common to the building.

 

Please note the lack of association approval needed does not mean permits from local government aren’t needed, and we are not qualified to say when you will and will not need a permit.

I’m making a change to the exterior of my property. Do I need approval to do this?

If the exterior appearance of the property will change, you are adding something that doesn’t currently exist, or the work is on a major building component, you will need to obtain approval first.

 

Approval, if needed, can take 30-60 days, but most straightforward improvements consistent with the norm in the community, especially when others have already done the same, will usually come faster. You can learn more about this process and submit your request here.

 

Please note the association only issues approvals and denials on the basis of aesthetics. Approval of your proposal by the association does not substitute a permit, and we are not qualified to tell you with certainty when permits are necessary or not.

I submitted a maintenance request, but there’s been no progress, or it’s taking a long time to complete. Why?

Different types of requests may take different timeframes to complete. Some types of contractors are quick to respond, while others may be scheduled out for a couple of weeks. Some items are seasonal and must be done at an appropriate time of year.

 

The primary reason for delays, however, are when costs exceed what we as management are allowed to spend without board approval or if your need is relatively common and will be combined with other similar needs to save the association money and keep your association assessments as low as possible.

 

You are welcome to inquire with us about your specific issue, but these are the most common reasons delays may occur.

How do I submit a maintenance request?

Aside from contacting our office, you can log into your Resident Center account and click on Requests in the menu. You can also do so without an account by clicking here.
