 Effective Touch-Ups and Repainting Techniques for HOA Properties

Shaker Painting is aware of how difficult it may be to keep a property up to code with Colorado's HOA painting regulations. Using the right methods and supplies guarantees that your house will not only remain within HOA-approved exterior paint colors but also maintain a clean, polished appearance, whether you're wanting to do a comprehensive HOA repaint or just a few touch-ups. Our specialty is HOA-approved paint colors, and we provide professional guidance on how to achieve a perfect finish that satisfies HOA standards and avoids future expensive repainting.

Why HOA Repainting and Touch-Ups Are Essential

Repainting your house in a homeowners association (HOA) community is about more than simply aesthetics; it's about adhering to Colorado's HOA painting regulations and preserving the neighborhood's cohesion and consistency. Following HOA guidelines, whether it's a minor touch-up or a complete repaint, helps maintain your community's general appeal and avoid future issues caused by non-compliance.

At Shaker Painting, we understand how important it is for homeowners to choose paint colors and procedures that have been approved by their HOA. Because of our experience, we can help you navigate the process and make sure your home not only looks fantastic but also conforms with the particular laws and restrictions set forth by your HOA.

How to Approach Your HOA Repaint Project

  1. Understand Your HOA’s Paint Guidelines
  2. Before you begin any HOA repaint, familiarize yourself with the specific HOA painting guidelines in Colorado. Every HOA has a set of rules, often including an approved palette of HOA-approved exterior paint colors. These guidelines may also specify details like finish types, painting techniques, and more. By reviewing these rules, you ensure that you’re making choices that align with community standards.
  3. Choose HOA-Approved Paint Colors
  4. Once you’ve reviewed the guidelines, it’s time to choose your HOA-approved paint colors. Many HOAs offer a pre-approved selection of shades to maintain a cohesive look throughout the community. Selecting from this palette eliminates the guesswork and ensures your repaint complies with the standards.
  5. How to Select the Right Colors:
    • Stick to neutral tones, as these are often favored in HOA communities
    • Consult with your HOA if you’re considering accent colors, as some guidelines may allow it
    • Avoid bold or overly bright shades unless explicitly permitted
  1. Check the Quality of Paint
  2. Quality matters when it comes to HOA repaint. The paint you choose should be durable, weather-resistant, and designed for exterior use. Our professional painters always recommend high-quality paints that offer long-lasting results, ensuring your home remains in top condition for years.
  3. Recommended Features in Exterior Paint:
    • UV protection to prevent fading
    • Mold and mildew resistance, especially in humid climates
    • High durability for all types of weather conditions

Techniques for a Professional Touch-Up or Repainting

Effective touch-ups and repainting require the right tools and techniques to achieve a seamless, professional finish. Here’s how we do it at Shaker Painting:

  1. Prep the Surface Properly
  2. Preparation is crucial for a lasting paint job. If you’re working with an existing paint job, you must scrape off any peeling or chipped paint. Sand the surface to ensure a smooth finish and clean it thoroughly before applying new paint.
  3. Surface Preparation Checklist:
    • Scrape off old paint and sand rough edges
    • Clean the surface to remove dirt, grease, and grime
    • Repair any cracks or damage to the surface before painting
    • Mask off areas you don’t want to paint, like windows and trim
  1. Use the Right Tools
  2. To ensure a flawless finish, use high-quality brushes, rollers, and sprayers. The type of tool you use can significantly affect the outcome of your project, especially when you’re trying to match the existing paint and achieve an even coat.
  3. Recommended Tools for HOA Repainting:
    • High-quality brushes for detail work
    • Paint rollers for smooth coverage on larger surfaces
    • A sprayer for even coverage in difficult-to-reach areas
  1. Apply Multiple Coats
  2. One coat of paint isn’t usually enough for a durable, professional finish. Apply at least two coats of paint to ensure complete coverage, especially if you’re making a significant color change. Always allow adequate drying time between coats.
  3. Focus on the Details
  4. When completing touch-ups, focus on blending the new paint with the old to ensure there are no noticeable lines or patches. Feather the edges of the touch-up area into the surrounding paint to create a seamless transition.

When to Hire an HOA Painting Contractor

While DIY painting projects can be tempting, larger or more complex HOA repaint projects may require the expertise of a professional HOA painting contractor. Here’s when to call in the pros:

  • For Large or Multi-Story Homes
  • Repainting larger homes or multi-story properties can be difficult and time-consuming. Professional painters have the tools and expertise to complete the job efficiently and safely.
  • For Ensuring Compliance with HOA Guidelines
  • If you’re unsure about whether your color choices or painting techniques align with HOA-approved exterior paint colors and guidelines, a professional contractor like Shaker Painting can help. We specialize in working within HOA restrictions and can ensure your project is compliant from start to finish.
  • For Seamless Touch-Ups
  • If your touch-ups aren’t blending well with the existing paint or if you’re struggling with difficult-to-reach areas, a professional painter will ensure a flawless finish with the right techniques and tools.

Larry Healy
Community Manager
From the RFP to the initial walk through – from the proposal acceptance to the planning session – from the first day of work through the final day – every person at Shaker was professional, thoughtful, friendly and helpful. The project was completed well within the anticipated time frame and at a very reasonable cost. During the quality control walkthrough at the end of the project no deficiencies were noted. Every member of the community had only praise for the excellent job Shaker did. It was the best painting project I have ever been involved in as a Community Association Manager.

I think that the best part of the project was Jason Moore who was the project manager. He was always in communication and completely handled the whole project. He was extremely professional and we enjoyed working with him.
Christina Benevides
Association Manager
The Board and I were very satisfied with the initial presentation provided when bidding on the work. We were also satisfied with the overall work completed. Jason (Project Manager) was wonderful to work with and handled all requests and questions professionally and promptly.
Kenneth M Hofmeister
Homeowner
Everything. From Jason's first bid to the final coat of paint with [the project manager’s] crew, we were very pleased with the communication, the attention to detail and the care with which they protected the house, minimized the sanding dust and cleaned up after the fact carefully. The worry that we would have a major cleaning effort after the fact. We were able to clean and put back all the furniture, pictures and furnishings in less than a day.

I am proud to recommend Shaker Painting to all of my color customers.
Thomas Richard Cruz
Facilities Manager
It is my great pleasure to provide this letter of recommendation for Shaker Painting Inc. Shaker Painting recently completed a full exterior trim replacement and paint of our five-story building, Broadway Junction, at 1165 Broadway, Denver CO. The Shaker team conducted themselves with professionalism and performed in a manner that was the least disruptive to all parties affected by the work. Closing-off parking spaces, managing staging area(s) for materials and the overall safety for pedestrians were some of the challenges presented to Shaker. Not a single complaint was issued for the duration of the work. Communication was excellent as Shaker personnel were required to access the roof and maintain the security setup at the building. As we have worked with Shaker on previous projects, we will continue to work with Brent Rumpf, Ed Gonzales, Jason Moore, and the rest of the Shaker team on future projects and I would recommend the same to any property and/or property management organization.
