Who we work with
We work with HOA and condo boards, community association managers and the maintenance committees that handle repaints in Wesley Chapel's townhome, villa and single-family communities. Most associations repaint every 8 to 12 years, and the project usually spans more than one budget year. Our job is to make the painting predictable for the board and painless for residents.
Building the color schedule
Most communities choose a short list of color schemes, each with a body color, trim color and an accent for doors or shutters. Using the current ARC guidelines and existing colors, we can help put together a schedule that gives the streets variety without clashing.
Before the board votes, we paint a sample building or a large mock-up section on a few homes so residents see the colors on real stucco in real light. Sample day draws a crowd, and it heads off most of the complaints that otherwise show up after the first building is finished.
Resident notices and logistics
Residents need to know when we are coming and what to do. We supply notice text for the manager to send, covering the dates for each building, which days to move cars, when sprinklers are shut off, when windows must stay closed and who to call with questions.
- Phased schedules by building or by street, posted in advance
- Irrigation shutoff coordination with the landscape contractor
- Plant, light fixture and window protection on every home
- A daily list of homes finished, sent to the manager
Specs the board can compare
Boards often get bids that are hard to compare because each painter describes the prep differently. We write a scope that spells out pressure washing, crack repair, primer, number of finish coats, product line and which surfaces are included, such as stucco walls, fascia, soffits, doors, railings and mailbox posts. That makes our bid easy to line up against others.
On stucco communities, crack repair is often the biggest variable. Walls with widespread hairline cracking may call for an elastomeric coating rather than standard paint, and we note that by building so the board can decide.
After the last building
When the project wraps, the manager gets a final color record: product names, color codes and sheen for every scheme, plus which homes got which scheme. That record makes future touch-ups and individual home repaints much easier for the ARC to approve.
