Community Updates & News
Wafco Mills HOA contracts with Arrow Exterminators, Inc. to provide quarterly pest control service for our community. This includes treating the exterior and common areas of the property.
Wafco Mills residents can also request interior service for their unit at no charge during the scheduled quarterly service.
To schedule an interior service:
Contact Lynn Faulkner in the Arrow Administrative office at 336-273-6253
Request a specific appointment time
Please note: Appointment times are first come, first served, and residents must be present for the 15-minute service.
If a resident requires service outside of the scheduled quarterly service date, an additional interior or "call back" service can be arranged for a fee of $95.00. This fee is paid directly to Arrow Exterminators, Inc. To schedule a "call back" service, call the Arrow Exterminators, Inc. Administrative staff.
If you suspect a leak in your Wafco Mills unit, tenants must contact their landlord or property manager — never the HOA board or management. Owners are responsible for coordinating repairs, insurance, and communication with neighbors, while the HOA only handles common element issues like roof leaks under the governing documents.
At Wafco Mills, the HOA Board and HOA management never speak directly with tenants — all questions, issues, and repairs must go through your landlord or their property manager. Owners are held responsible for tenant violations under the governing documents, so every lease and signed Rules & Regulations must be submitted by the owner to the HOA.
In summer heat, setting your AC too low can cause the coils to freeze. When the ice melts, water leaks may damage your unit or the one below. Under the Wafco Mills governing documents and NC Condominium Act (N.C.G.S. § 47C-3-107), each owner is responsible for maintaining their HVAC system and any damage it causes. Prevent leaks by keeping your system serviced, changing filters, and setting reasonable thermostat levels.
Wafco Mills is nearing completion of major projects, including the new trash enclosure and brickwork repairs, and is reminding residents about proper trash disposal and leak reporting procedures.
Living at Wafco Mills affords residents a location that’s an easy walk to the NC Folk Festival. Check out the line up of Artists for the 2025 year.
Wafco Mills, Walker Commons and Historic Wafco Mills do share the same block of land but have three different HOAs and three different boards of directors and three different sets of governing docs. Wafco Mills is the owner of this website and wants to help residents know and understand what HOA is theirs so they can direct questions and concerns for Walker Commons and Historic Wafco to their managers and board of directors.
Owning a condo a Wafco Mills puts you within walking distance of UNCG and Greensboro College, as well as Downtown Greensboro. However, Wafco Mills is NOT student housing and our HOA is not interested in a volunteer babysitting job managing anyone’s non-informed tenant. Please read up and make sure you know the rules of our Wafco Mills community before you buy or rent your unit.
Our Wafco Mills Board of Directors volunteers to support owners at Wafco Mills as they are members of our home owners association. Tenants or renters are not members of our HOA and are the sole responsibility of the owner. This post shares why.
Rain on Friday, April 11, 2025, and vehicles parked in designated work areas on Monday, April 14, delayed Grandeur USA’s brickwork repairs at Wafco Mills’ 805 building, despite prior communications.

Residents are urged to exercise caution near construction zones and cooperate to minimize disruptions during the month-long project.
