Carpet Installation
As you all know; one of the big topics of discussion was picking the color and style of the carpeting for the mid rise buildings. There seemed to be no clear consensus, so the owners decided at the final onsite meeting of 2014 to retain the services of an interior designer. The Board engaged Beth Williams to handle this process. She has picked out a beautiful carpet and border that will be repeated throughout the property.
Building One and Two were completed in the spring of 2015. Buildings Five and Six were completed in spring of 2016.
Buildings 3 & 4 will be getting new carpet in the spring of 2017
Town House Trellis Repair
There are several town homes that have trellis issues and we are fabricating new trellises onsite and installing them as needed
There are always projects underway at the Belmont. This winter is no exception!
This winter, we're painting the mid-rise garages in Buildings 3, 4, 5 & 6. We are also replacing the carpet in the restaurant with new flooring. This will all be completed in-house to save the owners money. We're removing and replacing landscape in front of Building Six and possibly One. We are also replacing the landscape on the island between TH 4 and TH 5. We're adding landscape to the Garage 3 & 4 entrance and continuing to replaces the Trellises in front of the Town Homes that need them.
We're looking at the possibility of updating all the exterior light posts in the common areas and TH entrances.
We have a rotating and ongoing procedure to paint balcony ceilings, rails and fascias. We are also making structural repairs to many of the balconies and concrete blocks that are not sound.
Currently, we are in the process of parking lot reconstruction. You've all seen my multiple emails with the timeline changes. We are currently on schedule to have the binder course of pavement laid by Thanksgiving. Thee will be no work on Thanksgiving though the following Monday in order for you to enjoy the holiday with family and friends without disturbance.
We are doing preliminary work on the garages in Buildings 3 though 6 in order to be ready for painting. We will also be doing work in the restaurant over the winter and the landscape project will continue with the redesign of town hose islands and addition of plantings around the property.

Walkway
Replacement of the Main Boardwalk is nearing completion. This boardwalk is incredibly solid, since we are using two 4' boards butted up to each other and then nailing them in place. We used the old boardwalk to form a railroad style track system that we've secured the new boardwalk to. The old boardwalk (replaced just 5 years ago) became unstable and presented a danger and liability risk.

Landscape Design
As you know, the Board of Trustees engaged the services of Phil Cheny Landscape Design to provide an overall redesign for the Belmont's mature and dated landscaping. We have since undertaken the design process with the skills and vision of Whitten Landscaping. Craig Whitten knows what the designer intended for the entire property and by utilizing his expertise, the Belmont will save thousands in design work. The project will be performed in phases over several years.
- 2015: Phase One - Redesign and planting of the main bed in front of Building Four.
- 2016 - Phase two - Redesign and planting of the main island in front of buildings 3 & 4 and one townhouse island; representing the future of all townhouse islands
- 2017 - Phase Three - Removal of all overgrown trees and shrubs in front of building five.
- removal of overgrown shrubs and vegetation in front of building six.
- REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF OLD LANDSCAPE IN FRONT OF TH 31.
