We used PetersonDean Roofing & Solar Systems (formerly Brinkman) , Phone 252-8196

They removed the corrugated iron and plastic roofing from our 10ft x 30ft patio in December.  We noticed them working on a house behind us and called for an appointment and estimate.  We were very pleased with their work and the supervisor was very knowledgeable. They had to improve on the junction between the house roof and the patio roof.  No leaking so far!

Missing Dog in Westcreek

Posted by elainepozos in News & Announcements on April 12th, 2011

Hello,
Our dog Chester went missing yesterday (Monday, April 11th), and we are hoping you can post his picture and our contact info on the neighborhood website.
Chester is a small, black, daschund mix – he looks more like a mini black lab with skinny legs though. He was wearing a red antibark collar without any tags when he got out of the yard. He’s micro-chipped.
Please call  512-899-2403 (home) or 512-589-8023 (cell) if you’ve seen him. We really miss him.
Thanks,
Patty and Mark Webster

Fencing Recommendation

Posted by elainepozos in Fencing on February 21st, 2011

From WNA neighbor Jennifer Voss:

We used South Austin Fence Co. (Bobby Pospisil is the owner) and we were extremely pleased with the quality, the price, and the quick completion.  Their price was by far the best in the research I did with several local companies.  In fact, he was one of the few who didn’t act too busy to give me a quote.  Info is 512-796-0789. address is 403 elm view way, manchaca, tx 78652.
