Dear Sanctuary at Bay Hill Owners: 

I am pleased to inform you that the Board of Directors has approved the roof replacement for building 25, that is underway this week. 

The Board was faced with a very difficult decision, to continue with the product that we have been using or to change the materials that we are using on the buildings to “test” a better-suited material for our community. In the past, we have replaced the roofs with barrel tiles in a terra cotta blend, but due to the infestation of squirrels in our community, they are damaging the buildings by chewing through the flashing and soffit, resulting in thousands of dollars in repairs.  

We consulted with several roof companies and wildlife experts and have decided to try an architectural shingle in the same color scheme to see if we can prevent the squirrels from breaching the roof flashing. 

In addition to wildlife, foot traffic ( unauthorized) by people walking on the barrel tile, causing it to break, which voids out the warranty. During hurricane season we had over 36 roof leaks, that resulted in over 100K in repairs, were hoping that the architectural shingles will be more durable to our communities needs. 

Building 25 will be the first, and we are so excited to see the finished product. In addition to preventing damage from wildlife, which sadly is not covered by any warranty and is limited to insurance claims, the cost is significantly less with a shingle roof than the barrel tile. If it works and if we proceed, it would be beneficial to our reserve fund. The insurance companies are sadly requiring roof replacements on average every 15-20 years, no matter what material we use, so the Board felt this is the direction we should try. 

Building 25 is the only roof that we have approved thus far, we will have a Board meeting in April to discuss, and possibly vote on how to proceed with the rest of the 11 buildings that are in need of replacement. 

I look forward to your feedback and am excited to get started. 

Sincerely,   

On Behalf of the Board of Directors
