"The project was monumental," says Harry Seid. And the veteran property manager should know: he has been managing property for nearly half a century, most recently for Fairfield Properties. The project he's discussing was actually four jobs — replacing the fencing on the grounds as well as a number of handrails on the decks, redoing all the siding, and replacing a number of roofs — and they were scheduled to be completed within two years.

"But because the three contractors that we had here were good, because of the expertise of the board, and because of the expertise of Fairfield, we were able to expedite this job and get a two-year project done in basically seven months," Seid notes.
