Here are some Tips in choosing the right color for your job:

1. Select colors that harmonize with neighboring homes and surroundings.
2. Choose a body color to compliment the color of the roof.
3. Light colors will make your house look larger, soft colors are also more elegant and traditional.
4. Always consider your home's "color givens", such as the roof, masonary & metal trim.

Tips from the Pros

1. Take the time to prepare the exterior, i.e. scrape away loose paint, replace damaged siding, sills and trim, caulk cracks or gaps, scrub away dirt and mildew. If the house is power washed, let it dry for 3-4 days.
2. Do Not Paint Exterior if temperature is below 50 degrees for more than 12 hours.
3. If using a painting contractor, get and check references.

BE SURE TO SUBMIT YOUR PLANS ALONG WITH COLOR CHIPS/SAMPLES TO THE ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW COMMITTEE, DO NOT START WORK UNTIL YOU HAVE RECEIVED WRITTEN/ SIGNED APPROVAL. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE CALL ONE OF THE BOARD MEMBERS OF THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION.
