TOGETHER WITH YOUR HOA MANAGEMENT TEAM...

• We provide a seamless service for homeowners while protecting a consistent aesthetic throughout your neighborhood
• Learn how to create a great first impression and a lasting result
• Know which rules you should not break to prevent costly mistakes
• Homeowners can find designer quality exterior curb-appeal at an affordable price 

• We always recommend that you contact your HOA directly to get the most updated information regarding how and when you should submit paint colors for approval
• HOAS do require that homeowners submit their colors for approval before painting 
• Choosing a suggested scheme does not necessarily mean you’ll receive approval. HOAs are not just reviewing the colors you’ve selected; they also want to make sure the houses around you aren’t too similar, so keep that in mind as you choose colors

• Email your homeowners association for a private link to dozens of your HOA pre-approved, curated combinations
• Choose from leading paint stores, including BEHR, Benjamin Moore, Kelly Moore, and Sherwin-Williams
• You may choose up to 3 different palettes per household to test before you paint
• Once you have chosen your palette(s), email your HOA manager your address with your palette number, i.e., SW1-AB
• They will email you the correct downloadable exterior paint palette PDF with the paint manufacturer's color number and names for each color
• The PDF will also recommend the suggested paint finish or sheen (flat/matte, eggshell, satin, semi-gloss, or gloss) for each surface

PREP:

Whether you do your painting or hire a contractor, proper preparation is paramount to a good paint job. Paint is only as good as what is under it. Make needed repairs, scrap, and sand any loose or peeling paint. You will need to clean or power wash whatever you are painting first. Your exterior must be completely dry before painting—caulk or putty seams, cracks, small holes, etc. Carefully inspect your property to remove, completely cover or store anything that is not to be painted. Trees or bushes may need to be trimmed to gain full access to the surfaces to be painted.

PRIME: 

Always use the recommended primer by your paint manufacturer and the surface you are painting (also called the substrate). This step will save money and result in a nicer, longer-lasting paint job. Primer/paint combos are good, but not as good as using a good primer specific to the surface you are painting. Primers may also be tinted to increase color coverage at no extra charge when purchasing your paint.

PAINT:

All paint is not created equally. A good quality exterior paint protects your investment and increases its value!
