HOA and Property Management Painting
Repainting programs for homeowner associations, condo associations and managed communities, with the paperwork boards need, color schedules residents can follow, and phasing that respects the people living there.
Making the Board's Decision Easier
Association repaints are big-ticket decisions made by volunteers who answer to neighbors. Boards need to compare bids fairly, explain the choice at an open meeting and avoid surprises once work starts. HOA painting is as much about clear documentation as it is about brushes and rollers.
Our written proposals are itemized by building, elevation or component (body, trim, doors, railings, fences, amenity structures) so a board can compare scopes line by line and approve in phases if reserves require it. We include the coating system for each surface, prep steps, the warranty terms, and a certificate of insurance. When a community manager needs revisions for a second meeting, we turn them around quickly.
Color Schedules and Architectural Review
Most communities have an approved palette, and many rotate a set of body, trim and accent combinations across buildings or lots. We work from your existing HOA color schedule or help the architectural review committee build a new one. Painted sample boards and test patches applied on buildings let the board see colors in real light before a vote; Florida sun washes out pale colors and intensifies saturated ones, so a paper chip is rarely enough.
Once colors are approved, we document each code, sheen and product by building or address. That record helps the association enforce consistency when individual owners repaint doors or shutters later, and it makes future touch-ups straightforward. Boards that want outside help narrowing a palette can use our color consultation service.
Communicating With Residents
Nothing sinks goodwill faster than a resident who comes home to find their patio furniture moved and their windows taped shut without warning. We coordinate a notice plan with the manager: advance notice before each building starts, what residents need to do (move vehicles, clear patios, close windows, keep pets inside), and expected days of work.
During the project, a crew lead is the daily contact for the manager, and resident questions are routed through whatever channel the association prefers. Sprinkler schedules are adjusted with the landscape contractor so freshly coated walls don't get soaked.
- Advance written notices for each phase
- Daily progress updates to the community manager
- Clear marking of wet paint and lift work areas
- Respect for quiet hours and community rules
- Building-by-building walk and punch list before moving on
What a Typical Community Repaint Includes
Most associations in our area are block-and-stucco or fiber-cement construction with wood or composite trim. A full repaint usually covers pressure washing, mildew treatment, caulking of windows and joints, stucco crack repair, primer on bare or repaired areas, and two finish coats. Metal railings and stair stringers get rust treatment and enamel; entry doors may be scoped separately so owners can choose finishes within the approved schedule.
Amenities often ride along: clubhouses, pool cabanas, mailbox kiosks, perimeter walls, monument signs and fences. Separating them in the bid lets the board decide what this cycle covers. For condo and rental communities with interior common areas, see multi-family and apartment painting.
Planning Around the Reserve Study
Exterior paint is one of the most predictable line items in a reserve study, but the actual interval depends on exposure, substrate and how well the last job was prepped. We can walk the community and give the board an honest assessment of which buildings are failing and which still have life, so spending lines up with condition rather than just the calendar. The written workmanship warranty (up to 10 years on exterior work) gives the board a defined window of coverage to plan against.
A condition walk also helps with property management painting beyond the big repaint: catching rusted railings, failing caulk and mildewed fascia early, so small items are handled in the operating budget before they become reserve expenses.
“Your estimate is free, written and itemized. The prep is on paper, the products are named, the warranty terms are spelled out — and the crew that walks your project is the crew that paints it.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you present the proposal at our board meeting?
We're glad to answer questions from the board, in person when schedules allow or by phone. The written, itemized proposal is designed to stand on its own so the manager can present it either way.
Do residents need to be home while you paint?
No. Exterior work doesn't require access inside units. Residents just need to follow the notice instructions, such as moving cars, clearing patios and keeping pets indoors on their building's scheduled days.
How do you handle an owner who wants a different door color?
We follow the association's approved schedule and direction from the manager or board. If an owner requests something outside it, we refer them back to the architectural review process rather than deciding on our own.
Can the community be painted over more than one budget year?
Yes. Many associations phase by building or section. We can price each phase separately and keep colors and products consistent across the whole program.
What do you need from our manager to prepare a proposal?
A site map or building list, the current color schedule if one exists, any specifications the board has already drafted, and access for a walkthrough. If the community has had recent stucco or wood repairs, let us know which buildings so we can account for them.
Quality Workmanship Backed by a Written Warranty
Every project gets a written workmanship warranty — up to 10 years on exterior projects — on top of the manufacturer's product warranty for the coatings we use. The terms are spelled out on your estimate before work starts, so you know exactly what is covered and for how long.
