IN THEIR WORDS
A letter from the board president
“As you know, we had an insurmountable issue at Jamestown concerning the failure of the underground water supply lines to 144 condominiums and having to install new sewer lines to 4 of our buildings. Now that the job is completed, I wanted to let you know how satisfied we are with your company, your employees and you.”
“We chose you over others because of your approach to manage everything which would relieve the Board of having to take on more work for the complex.”
“I have never experienced a company that actually adhered to their own timeline. Our owners even commented to board members that they were impressed with how quickly you completed the project.”
“I personally want to mention that our board and owners saw that you lead by example. I was impressed when I saw you in the trenches working alongside your employees.”

NEXT STEP
Facing aging water or sewer lines?
Every building is different. Jamestown is one completed project with one outcome — not a promise that every board gets the same result. If your association faces aging water or sewer lines, start with a site walk or camera survey.
