Workers will arrive at 7 am but will start noise work at 8 am and end at 5 pm.

They will be working Monday – Saturday.

We have blocked the dates on our calendar when the condos we manage are supposed to be unavailable. If the schedule slips, we may have to move you or cancel you (full refund, of course).

NOTE: The noise can be loud. Parking areas will be blocked off so you will not be able to park directly in front of the condo. The good news is the parking that is available is close. The elevator and center stairs are open in the A building where 307 is located. The side stairs are closed. Please do not book if any of this will be an issue for you.
