Fences
The modification form and a plat plan indicating fence location must be submitted for approval prior to replacing your fence. Applications are submitted to the Modifications Committee through Crest Management. If you have any questions, please call Crest Management at 281-579-0761.
Homeowners need to be aware they are responsible to insure all materials of construction meet the Commonwealth requirements. Your fence must be cedar, treated pine is NOT allowed. Of specific concern is the use of fencing products marketed to be "economical alternatives” to cedar. It is recommended all homeowners use caution when selecting fence contractors and take appropriate steps to insure they are installing products which meets the Commonwealth's requirements.
NOTE: The Association WILL enforce the restrictions, so be sure to read the modification guidelines to stay in compliance. Action will be taken by the HOA against residents who have fences which do not meet the requirements.
