Handrail Post Bases Rusting Out
(HRP)
(HRP)
Description and location: The metal brackets installed on the base of the posts on the stairs to the lower condos are rusting.
Scope of Work: The company that painted the brackets was contacted and will powder coat the brackets again at no cost as they are not sure why they are rusting. The metal brackets on the landings of the condo have been rusting since the original installation. Salt water running off of the landings in the winter/spring and rain in the summer/fall haver severally deteriorated the metal and stained the siding. Flashing was installed around the perimeter of the landings last year to prevent any water contacting the metal brackets and siding. Pricing will be obtained to sand the metal brackets and paint to match.
Status: The metal brackets supporting the posts on the stairs to the lower condos have been replaced.
The metal brackets supporting the stairs to the upper condos will be addressed when the painters are on site for touch up painting and staining.
There is no estimate or date of completion at this time.
