Many of you have asked for the
replacement of the front window in your unit. Not only is the
replacement of the window an aesthetic improvement, but the new window
also provides greater energy efficiency and a reduced noise level from
the outside.
Any owner interested in the
replacement window must submit the Window Replacement Approval Form to
the MSS Board of Directors (BOD). Requests conforming to standards
will be approved by the BOD.
In order for you to replace your
windows according to standards established by the Association, we have
provided some guidelines to assist you in the process.
APPROVAL
PROCESS
 |
The applicant MUST fill out
a Window Replacement Form. |
|
The completed Window Replacement
Form and a vendor/manufacturer’s brochure showing the replacement
window must be submitted to the Office. The Office will ensure the
form is complete and forward to the BOD within two days of receipt. |
|
The applicant must wait for
approval from the BOD before going forward with an installation. The
BOD will expedite this approval process. After receipt of the Form
and brochure, the BOD will provide a written response. Without
prior approval from the BOD, you run the risk of installing a
non-acceptable window that does not conform to the characteristics
established by the Association, and you will be responsible for the
cost of replacing it. |

INSTALLATION
|
Installation must be performed by a
qualified contractor. Owners may select their preferred contractor;
however, window standards must be maintained. |
|
Owners should verify contractor’s
insurance certificate prior to installation. |
|
All exterior window trim must be
white. |
STANDARD
The Association has paid for a window
installation in C-103, which is owned by the Association. We used the
local vendor Coastal Windows (808-676-0529). You may choose
this vendor or another but the appearance of both window and screen
must be the same as C-103. Any window and screen which does not match
the one installed in C-103 will be deemed a violation of MSS policy
and may result in remedial action and additional expenses to you.
The MSS AOAO is not responsible for
installation, repair, or maintenance of window replacement.
