INTERRUPTION IN SERVICES
During construction there may be some interruptions in services to your house. Global has coordinated with each of the following entities to minimize these impacts.

U.S. MAIL/NEWSPAPER/PACKAGE DELIVERY

  • If the mail carrier decides to not deliver mail around construction activity, then your mail will be kept at the post office for pickup. Newspaper and package delivery may or may not incur a disruption. Please call these service providers prior to construction to ensure proper delivery of your parcels or papers.

TRASH AND RECYCLING

  • Disposal services will require your totes to be moved outside of an area of construction on the typical day of pickup. Tote pickup areas will be designated as needed.

PARKING

  • On-street parking will not be allowed; however, residents will be able to use their driveways throughout the project. Please consolidate and limit your trips to avoid disruptions to the construction crews. Temporary parking locations outside of the area of construction may be necessary. Please look for signs during construction.

EMERGENCY AND MEDICAL SERVICES

  • EMS have been made aware of construction in your neighborhood and will respond to emergencies appropriately. Any scheduled medical appointments or special medical needs should be disclosed. Please give us a call so that we can accommodate your needs.
