Over the past month, the Diamond Head Ambassador has been getting nice new coat of exterior paint.
Prep work for painting the exterior lanais of the Diamond Head Ambassador
I've been hearing about it over the past 6 months to a year, however progress is finally under way. It was something that was actually budgeted for. Up until seeing the actual paint go on, people were asking me "what color are they going to paint it"? My intuition served correct as the building stuck with the same color scheme, which is timeless...
In addition to the painting, all of the lanais that once had carpet, will no longer have it. It was discovered that carpet traps moisture and was bad for an oceanfront building where spalling can be an issue. My understanding is tile will still be approved for the lanais as long as it is sealed properly.
Although there's been an inconvenience to owners and residents of the Diamond Head Ambassador, I think everyone will be happy with the new sleek and improved look when pau (finished).
