Good Afternoon Meighen,

 

The flooring has a 1 year warranty for work and materials, which this condo unit is past. Therefore there is no warranty. Also the original homeowner had never entered this issue on the PDI, the  30 day Tarion Form, nor the 1 Year Tarion form so Tarion deems this not to be a warrantable issue. Check your humidity levels within the condo, this greatly affects hardwood floors.

 

Regarding noise related issues from adjacent units, you can call Bayshore Property Management: Maria @ 705-722-3700 ext.233.

 

Sincerely,

 

Ramona Gross

Good afternoon
 
I am the new owner (as of June 30) of Unit 1, 39 Coulter Street.
 
The laminate flooring in the living room and hallway creaks like an old house.  Also, in a couple of areas in the hallway the boards do not lay competely flat.
 
I'm wondering if there's some way that the wall adjoining Unit 2 can be reinforced to provide more sound-proofing.  I recently moved my bedroom from that end room to the middle room because of noise.  I know when the people in Unit 2 have their TV on at night; I know when they're making love; I know when they're having an argument.  One morning I happened to be awake (3:30 or 4:30, can't remember) and I could hear them just talking.  One could say they should be asked to turn down their TV, but are they expected to remember when they're making out or having an argument that I can hear them?  Another reason for moving to the middle room is the noise from water coming down the pipes behind the wall when someone in the units above flush the toilet.
 
Sometimes I hear what sounds like dripping coming from behind the half bathroom wall - doesn't last long, maybe it's nothing to be concerned about.  Maybe it's just pipes doing what they do.  I don't know, so I mention it.
 
 
Thanks.
