It can be very challenging to predict how much you need to save for upcoming projects. Does your roof replacement cost the same as it would have three years ago? What about your window replacement project looming in the next 10 years?
When a flat roof membrane reaches the end of its service life, you should be beware of new code requirements that will impact the design of your roof assembly.
In our experience, 25+ year old condominium buildings across Ontario are struggling with poor performing windows and have not set aside sufficient funds to pay for major repairs and replacement.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I want to thank all of you for last night's Town Hall meeting. It could not have gone much better.
Matt, you did a wonderful job (as usual) presenting the information in a calm, clear, and easy-to-understand manner. You answered all questions and effectively managed the variety of personalities in our community.
Joe Aquilina, WCC 171 Board of Directors, President
