The common area at the heart of the Riverwalk community in Santee had a large wood pergola that was rotting over the residents’ heads.For the Riverwalk Owners Association and their managers at PHOAC, that meant a shared space nobody could fully use and a liability that grew every season.
The HOA chose Southwest Builders for a flexible design approach, clear communication and competitive pricing. We demolished the deteriorated wood structure completely, then installed a 16 by 35 foot freestanding Alumawood Elitewood Classic aluminum
pergola finished in a rich brown to sit well with the surrounding architecture, with an integrated lighting system so the space works after dark. Five days from demolition to finish.
The common area is a gathering place again. Residents have a big, shaded structure that will not rot or need repainting, lighting that keeps it in use on summer evenings, and a lifetime warranty behind it. The association left a glowing review when the work was done.
Without the replacement, the old pergola would have kept costing the HOA in repairs right up until it had to be closed off. If your community’s shared space has a structure past its prime, picture what a purpose-built replacement would do for it. We would love to build it.
