COMMUNITY BULLETIN BOARD
March 21, 2025
Any updates we receive from Lemus Construction about the Villas at Five Ponds “shingle replacement project” seem to come late Friday or Monday, upon receipt we will post it on our website.
So please keep checking it.
In addition, the Shingles Replacement project plan with targeted dates for Phase 1 has been posted outside the multipurpose room. A few copies of the project plan are located on the reception desk. It is also posted on the website. Please note the target dates are the goals of the project. Circumstances beyond the control of the project such as inclement weather or a quad that has issues that will preclude the ability to complete their roof replacement within the week will delay the subsequent shingles replacement on the quads that follow. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Good afternoon, Amy,
As we conclude Week 3 of the roofing remediation project at Villas at Five Ponds, I am pleased to share that we are making steady and efficient progress. We are refining our workflow and addressing any unexpected challenges that arise.
Having completed work on the first four buildings, we now have a better understanding of the layouts and how unforeseen additional work can impact our production. With this knowledge, we have adjusted our approach and are currently nearing completion of the second set of buildings. Although we have encountered a few minor issues, we are addressing these promptly as we move into the next set of buildings. Things are looking up, and I believe we can only improve from here!
General Notes:
- This week, both the Red Crew and the Blue Crew made significant progress on the second set of buildings. They gained a better understanding of the layouts and production efficiency.
- We are nearing completion of this week’s task, with only minor detail work left to finalize before moving on. Despite a challenging start to the project, we are now heading in the right direction and streamlining our approach to ensure quality and efficiency.
- Due to strong winds, we will evaluate the safety of removing the remaining portion of the roof at 102-108 Villa Drive today. If conditions are not favorable, we will return tomorrow to complete the task. The next set of buildings is still on schedule for next week, and notices have already been delivered to residents.
- As we improve our workflow, each adjustment enhances our efficiency and execution. We sincerely appreciate the residents’ patience and cooperation, which have helped us maintain smooth operations despite initial challenges. By now, Marco and Wilson have made new friends, and we feel very optimistic about the future!
- As noted in prior updates, we will begin processing homeowner billing once the next set of buildings is completed.
We appreciate everyone’s continued support and collaboration as we move forward in this large-scale project. We will keep you informed of any major developments and continue to provide weekly progress reports.
Please let us know if you have any questions. Looking forward to another productive week ahead
Best regards,
Mario A. Aguilar
