HOA Painting Tips for Sterling Homeowners

Start the approval process early. HOA architectural committees often meet monthly. Starting the color approval process 4-6 weeks before your desired paint date ensures you have approval in hand when painting season arrives.

Review guidelines before choosing colors. Your Sterling HOA’s architectural guidelines document spells out what’s allowed. Reading it before falling in love with a color prevents disappointment.

Keep approval records. Save all approval documentation — you may need it when selling your home or if your HOA questions your colors years later.
