Constructed in 1996, this 99 unit Bellevue condominium property had extensive water intrusion problems. Charter completely stripped off the old vinyl siding, removed decayed materials and then installed new weatherproofing paper and new flashings.  All windows and sliding glass doors were removed and re-installed in the process of the re-construction. 

In addition, at least half of the decks on the 13 buildings were completely stripped and replaced, this time with a slight slope for proper drainage.  Since the decks comprise the roofs of the living space below, and none of the residents moved out during construction, Charter built temporary canopies to protect the space from the elements.
