2025 Carport Repairs
Posted on Apr 16th, 2025
Approximately 30 carports have been identified as needing repairs. Our maintenance team will be moving forward with these repairs over the coming days and weeks. It will be necessary for residents to move their vehicles from the carport when repairs are being undertaken. As such, the immediate priority will be on those carports where Snowbirds leave their cars here over the summer.
A complete list of the carports to be repaired and additional details can be found here, and in the Projects folder under the Documents menu. Please review this listing and let Jeff LeValley know if there are any inaccuracies or changes needed.

Rodents In Your Engine Compartment
Posted on Jun 27th, 2024
It's been reported that a few residents have had problems lately with mice/rats/squirrels getting into their car's engine compartment and doing damage (eating wires, etc.). This is an age-old problem and difficult to deal with. The March, 2021 and January, 2022 issues of our Wedgewood Newsletter contain some advice on deterring these critters.
Past issues of our newsletters are available from the "Documents" pull-down menu.

Avoiding Leaks From AC Units
Posted on Sep 15th, 2023
Resident Kirk Williams recently shared an experience he had after an AC Air handler developed a leak and water damaged the condo unit below his; while this occurred in an upstairs condo unit, it could also happen in a ground floor condo and water could seep into the condo next door. Kirk's story:
"For those in units C and D (upstairs) you may be interested in this. I had an upstairs unit whose air handler developed a leak. Since it seeped through the concrete floor into the unit below and the owners of that unit were up north, it wasn't discovered until a great deal of damage had been done below. Won't go into what but it took weeks to repair. Don't think that a regular tune-up will prevent a problem as I always have annual ones done. It was an unforeseen issue. Anyway, I was having my annual tune-up done and was telling my A/C tech about what happened and he said he could have a drip pan fabricated, with float switch, that would go along way to preventing something like this in the future. So below is a pic of the drip pan installed and I now have peace of mind and I'm sure my downstairs neighbors are protected. Sure, insurance paid for the fix but for $235 I hopefully won't have to deal with all the paperwork, interviews, and other assorted headaches. Seriously, not fun. If interested call Steve's A/C at 727-868-6465. BTW, if you're looking for a good, HONEST, company, Steve's is one to consider. I had a house that one company said I needed an $1800 repair. Gave Steve's a call and after an $89 service, said there was nothing wrong with my system."

2024
The Wedgewood Condos Pool & Spa were scheduled to be resurfaced next year (2025). However, a small hole (delamination) formed on the bottom of the shallow end of the pool in April; to prevent this condition from spreading and causing further damage, the Board decided to perform the necessary repairs and rehab of the pool and spa earlier than planned.

Upon draining the pool and beginning to prep the surface, portions of the existing interior finish began to delaminate and separate from the underlying surface. Upon further evaluation, it appears the prior finish was applied on top of a fiberglass coating. The existing finish and fiberglass coating must be removed to create a tight, bondable surface; as such, the following additional work is needed: Wet blast removal of the existing interior finish and fiberglass layer prior to the new interior finish application.
The pool has been prepped to have the compression staples (to repair certain cracks) installed. The staples may be installed today (Saturday) or Monday. If the weather cooperates, the new pool finish will be applied next week and, hopefully, the rehab will be completed by the end of next week. (Photos courtesy of Lynne Deddo.)
The compression staples (to prevent certain cracks from spreading) have been installed and covered with mortar/concrete. As soon as they set up, the finish coat on the pool can be applied and we can get the pool up & running again. (Photo by Matt.)

Immediately following the completion of this step, the pool gets filled with water (we're told the water actually helps the finish coat to cure). Once the pool is filled, start-up chemicals will be added (Monday, August 19th). It may take 72 hours for the chemicals to be properly balanced before it's ready for swimming. (Photo courtesy of Lynne Deddo.)
BELOW: The pool rehab is essentially completed. The ladder and railings have been installed and chemicals were added. It will take a few days for the chemicals to stabilize, before anyone can use the pool.
The refinished pool & spa were reopened to the residents Tuesday, August 27th.
