The main reason many people move into Holliday Park is the fact that we have an on-site maintenance staff. The maintenance staff cater, not only to the exterior of our townehouses, as is prevalent in condominium complexes, but they also maintain the needed repairs within the four walls of our individual townehouse … providing that we do not change or modify from Co-op standards.

Whether we have a furnace problem, an appliance problem, a plumbing problem, or an electrical problem … down to a doorknob falling off, or a door sticking … our Holliday Park maintenance staff is there to repair or replace it. This is quite a relief off our shoulders.

It is also nice to know, that if the maintenance problem is an emergency, our maintenance staff is on-call 24-hours a day, seven days a week. A non-emergency maintenance item is performed during the normal maintenance hours, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

During the snowy winter season, maintenance is there to clear the main sidewalks and the parking lots, to allow us to conveniently enter and exit our complex.  The member is responsible for keeping the walkway and porch to their unit,  snow free for personal safety and mail delivery, of course.

Many people at Holliday Park have no tools, or garden shovels, providing we maintain the Holliday Park outdoor standards. However, some people prefer to do some gardening , to personalize and beautify their townehouse. This is solely up to the individual. Obviously, as we age or become incapacitated, we again revert to Holliday Park standards, and depend upon Holliday Park maintenance to do most indoor and outdoor work for us- with the exception of leaf raking, if we took responsibility for an existing tree, or planted one.  We are responsible too for keeping  our planting beds, and patios weed-free

Last year, the new roofing of the units was completed; and the new siding program was finished. This year, Holliday Park will be replacing all furnaces, and will paint all the front and back doors. It’s nice to know that all of this is included in our normal monthly carrying charges.

I believe Holliday Park was properly named, as it truly is — “a Holiday From Maintenance Headaches.” We rely upon our good maintenance staff to handle most of these matters for us. This gives us time to do the more pleasant activities that personally appeal to us, as individual members at Holliday Park.

Please come and join us, and experience your “Holiday From Maintenance Headaches.” We believe you will love it.
