Specifications for Siding Repair

For those Homeowners who elect to use their own Contractor to complete siding repairs, the following specifications are enclosed. When the work is completed it must be approved and signed off on by Colin Devereux 570-956-7488. Colin is the BHHOA Inspector on this project. The cost is $50 to the Homeowner for the Inspection.
