However, it\u2019s always wise to consider what your homeowner\u2019s association (HOA) will allow when it comes to exterior modification. Here are four tips that you\u2019ll want to keep in mind as you begin navigating <a href=\"https:\/\/www.platinumpaintingplano.com\/exterior-painting.html\">the exterior painting process<\/a> so that you don\u2019t risk upsetting your HOA, or worse, end up being fined!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Familiarize Yourself with Rules and Restrictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many HOAs have particularly rigid guidelines when it comes to things like landscaping, lawn ornaments, and exterior paint. While many of these restrictions might seem arbitrary, they exist to help give the neighborhood an organized and harmonious feel. You might only be allowed to use certain color schemes, finishes, or even specific brands of paint. Before you get started, be sure that you\u2019ve carefully reviewed all relevant guidelines concerning exterior modification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Look at Your Neighbors\u2019 Homes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally speaking, HOAs want the homes in their communities to feel similar, but not look identical. This is why many of these associations won\u2019t allow you to use the very same color schemes as your next-door neighbors. That said, you might have to instead look at the houses around you and mark those schemes off your list. You can still use them as inspiration, but just don\u2019t simply copy their colors!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Ask for Permission Beforehand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re going to want to ask permission from your HOA before you begin painting. Usually, an email or written letter is fine, sent to the appropriate member. This will give them the chance to review your request and make sure you\u2019re not doing anything that isn\u2019t allowed. If you do your research beforehand, you shouldn\u2019t run into any problems having your project approved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Use a Professional Team<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You shouldn\u2019t hesitate to entrust your project to a team of professionals, especially if you\u2019re having doubts about what your HOA will allow. Even if you follow all guidelines, your paint job might end up simply being sloppy\u2014and this could cause problems, too! It\u2019s a safe bet to have a trustworthy team of painters handle the task; they\u2019ll follow all rules and produce spectacular results that you <em>and<\/em> your HOA will love!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Platinum Painting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our team here at Platinum Painting of Plano has helped homeowners all across the DFW metroplex with a wide range of interior and exterior painting projects over the last 15 years, and we\u2019d be more than happy to assist you with your next undertaking.
