Interior and exterior paint can set your property apart. You can increase curb appeal and property value with expertly selected colors, high-quality paint that resists Florida humidity, and professional application. When you live in a community with a HomeOwners' Association, your options for color may be restricted. Whether certain exterior colors are allowed or specific colors prohibited, it’s essential to work with a paint contractor who understands HOAs. They’ll ensure you meet regulations while making your home’s exterior look great.
One of the most frustrating aspects of repainting your exterior is to fall in love with a color and then discover that it doesn’t adhere to your HOA’s regulations. Rather than getting surprised and disappointed further along in the process, consider talking with your HOA before seeking a paint contractor to work on your home.
They can give you approved colors, so you can be confident that you won’t run afoul of your HOA when you choose a color.
Your association may also have a list of paint contractors they work with who have worked on your neighbor’s homes.
Local companies who have been in business for a while get to know the nearby communities and HOAs. Chances are, if you work with a paint company in the area, they have already done work for your neighbors and may even know your HOA. They’ll be familiar with the regulations for your community and may have approved colors on file.
A local paint company that makes its own proprietary paint formula takes into account the unique needs of your area. In South Florida, heat, sun, and humidity all take a toll on exterior coatings. Local paint companies like UCI Paints formulate exterior paint to withstand the harsh weather and wear from UV rays.
Suppose you choose a national paint brand for name recognition. In that case, you might end up with exterior paint that fades quickly or peels due to humidity.
When you live in an HOA, you’re part of a community that works together to uphold specific aesthetic standards. Those standards may apply to everything from landscaping to the color of your roof to the paint on your home’s exterior. A surefire way to choose an HOA-approved color is by browsing your neighbor’s homes.
Ask your neighbors who they worked with the last time they painted their home’s exterior. Follow up with detailed questions about their experience and how the paint holds up through the seasons and years.
There’s more to exterior paint than just the color. Every brand uses its own formula, but nationwide paint companies don’t consider the unique weather and climate of different states. Your neighbors can tell you if they’ve noticed their paint bubbling or peeling or if they’ve had to repaint more often than is standard.
