Homeowners Association Exterior Paint Colors

Congratulations on buying a property with an HOA! Make sure to read your HOA’s Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions to understand their specific rules. Figure out who handles the exterior painting of your property.

Most HOAs take care of maintenance for townhomes, condos, and communal areas. For standalone single-family homes, the owner usually handles it. Your next steps depend on your property type and who’s in charge of painting.

Permanent Coating Saves You Money on Exterior Painting

Choose Home Shield Coating® for long-lasting protection of your property’s exterior. Unlike traditional paints that last only 3 to 5 years, Home Shield Coating® is designed for longevity in commercial and industrial settings. You’ll save money on maintenance and costly structural repairs as it lasts 3 to 4 times longer than regular paint.

How to Secure HOA Approval for Exterior Painting?

If you hire us, we’ll give you a copy of our business license and insurance so you can present them to your HOA. Most HOAs will demand these documents before allowing work to proceed. Sticking with your current color simplifies approval from the HOA. If you want a color change, the HOA will give you an approved color palette to choose from. Opting for a non-approved color may lead to months-long delays, daily fines, or even legal action. We’ve seen both scenarios firsthand. Make sure you get approval for exterior painting and make sure you use approved exterior paint colors.

Exterior Painting for Townhomes and Condos

For townhome or condo owners, the HOA generally takes care of exterior maintenance. In such cases, a board member usually contacts us for an estimate. We then prepare a proposal for either a single unit or the entire community and present it at the next board meeting. Some owners see the value in a long-lasting product, while others don’t plan to stay long enough to care. Decision-making can slow down when multiple people with varying opinions and budgets are involved. We guide you through the HOA process with our expertise.
