My apartments are currently undergoing a major renovation under Walker construction. The workers are disrespectful, sloppy and unprofessional. They are constantly littering, driving recklessly through the parking lot, speaking inappropriately and leaving tools and materials all over the place. There are a lot of children, elderly and disabled individuals living in the complex which inlays the problem. I suggest contracting with companies that actually have enough common sense to be responsible for the projects their working on and respectful of the tenants.

My balcony was torn down on July 23rd and it's already August 18th and it's already been close to a month with out a balcony. Going into another weekend without a balcony and my plants are dying with no sun being in my apartment. This is very frustrating for me. Not very happy right now.
