The Raintree paving project will begin on July 8. Paving will continue throughout the community until July 13. Please read the information below for the sealcoating schedule, how to avoid fines, and if you rent out your condo, a reminder of the requirements for all renters and the responsibility of the owner to register the renter(s) with Vista Management.
If you are unsure where to park during this project, see the Parking Instructions for the paving project.
The Raintree paving project will begin on July 8. Paving will continue throughout the community until July 13.
Below are the parking instructions for the paving project. Find either your building number or condo address for the dates where paving will be done in your area. The map below is also color coded to show what areas will be paved and when. This map is also posted at the pool and the mailboxes. You must move and park your car out of the work zone before 7 a.m. on the day work is to commence during the dates designated for your area. There are parking spaces marked ‘guest’ around Raintree and additional parking is available at the Ventura Administration Building and along Lake Pointe Drive. Please be sure that when you are relocating your car into another parking spot, that you are not parking in a resident reserved parking spot.
There will be a tow truck ready and available to relocate vehicles as needed, at the owner’s expense. If for any reason a vehicle IS NOT relocated prior to 7 a.m. on the day work begins to the area assigned for your condo address (see map), the vehicle will be towed and moved, and the owner will be responsible for any/all expenses incurred. If we are unable to identify the owner of a vehicle prior to having it towed, it will be towed off property in which case the expense is much greater.
Once the work is complete, we anticipate that you will be able to travel/park on the pavement 24 hours after the final coat. Please be advised that this is an ESTIMATE timeframe only and could change based on unforeseen circumstances/delays. Please note that if any area is delayed it will be moved to the following day excluding weekends.
Please note that there will be no garage access for those units with garages during the designated work dates below.

Here’s how you can help Raintree – there are many opportunities!
BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS: Under Direction of a Board Member

R&C Roofing & Contracting has advised the Raintree Board of Directors that the roof replacement/window replacement work will begin for the following buildings:
July 31, 2023 – Building 13 and Building 14
August 10, 2023 – Building 2 and Building 11
What building am I in? See the Raintree Phase Map.
The construction team will be on property Monday-Friday, between 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Please note that during construction residents may hear noise coming from the roof, see lane closures, and temporary traffic signals.
Residents should not park around the construction zones. R&C Roofing & Contracting is not responsible for any damage to vehicles parked near the construction zones.
Damage to tires due to nails should be reported to the Raintree Board of Directors.
The Raintree Board of Directors will send notifications in advance of the start date for the remaining buildings once the above buildings have been completed and passed the required inspections with the City of Orlando. You will find notifications posted here on this website or through email. If you have not subscribed to the Raintree mailing list to receive emails from the Board, subscribe here.
Construction will begin soon and it is important to prepare your unit for the upcoming roofing project. Construction schedules and additional instructions will be posted and provided to on-site residents when contractions begins. In the meantime, the following actions are recommended to prepare your unit for construction, especially if you will not be in Raintree during the project. Snow birds should do these now. For more details regarding the scope of the project, please read this roofing project update.
1. If you have an angled/garden window, access to your unit will be required. To avoid a charge for a locksmith, leave a key with a permanent resident or in a lock box at your unit and update this information with Randy Moreland (6116 Raintree).
2. If you are leaving your car in an open parking space, please leave your car key with a permanent resident or in a lock box at your unit and update Randy Moreland (6116 Raintree). Cars may be towed at owner’s expense if necessary.
3. Tighten up ceiling fixtures and glass bulbs and relocate items that may be affected by the vibrations of construction (knick knacks, pictures, etc.). This should be done by both upper and lower units.
4. Remove items under skylights and cover areas directly below skylights.
5. Remove all items from areas where new windows will be installed.
If you have any questions regarding the above recommendations, please contact Randy Moreland at 407-341-2672.
The Roof Committee has finalized all the paperwork and adjustments for the very important and expensive roofing construction job, and now it’s time to begin! It is also now time to prepare your unit with these recommendations (especially snow birds).
After all the talk about the roofs and the insurance claim, we are very close to the start. A contractor has been chosen, and the process has begun. Thanks to everyone for their patience during the long process of dealing with the insurance company on the roof damage claim. The settlement payment has been received and will go a long way towards funding the project. It certainly has not been an easy process. The 6-member all-volunteer Roof Committee had to organize and decide how to move forward with this extensive project. There were many, many meetings.
Here is what will be done over the next few months:
1. All roofs are being removed and replaced with new shingles. Any water damaged plywood roofing will be replaced.
2. All of the “Fascia” boards will be replaced as needed.
3. All gutters will be replaced with new ones, downspouts only as needed.
4. Non-garage units will have the “loft” windows removed to eliminate any leaks, now and potential. Any structural damage from leaks will be repaired. The top section will be roofed over, the vertical section will be replaced with new crank out windows that will open for ventilation. All skylight windows in these units will be replaced with new up-to-code tinted and UV coded ones.
5. All upper garage units: the glass wall windows in the master bath will be removed to eliminate any leaks, now and potential. All existing structural water damage will be repaired. The upper section of the large roof windows will be roofed over. The vertical section will be replaced with crank-out windows. This will also bring much needed ventilation.
6. Skylights in the lanai roofs will be replaced with new ones conforming to existing code (with the exception of those who chose to roof over their lanai skylights).
7. Garage lower end units with garden windows: the upper sections will be roofed over, and the vertical sections will be replaced with new glass. This will eliminate any existing and potential leaks. All existing structural water damage will be repaired.
8. The interior window areas will be finished off ready for paint (which is the owners’ responsibility).
A letter to all homeowners will follow from Vista so please look for it and read carefully on how all construction will take place and in what order.
This information was also sent out by email. If you do not receive emails from Raintree, please sign up now. Construction schedules and additional information will posted and provided to on-site residents when construction begins.
The Raintree Landscaping Committee planted two Christmas Tree palms in the front entrance planters as part of an ongoing committee project to revitalize the landscaping in this area. This included preparing the soil to introduce nutrients back into the soil. A special thank you to Colin helping the Committee to install the palms.
The next phase will be to add more plantings, which will take place over the next couple of weeks.
