If your Eastvale home is in an HOA community, you most likely need approval of your exterior color scheme before painting starts. Many HOAs have architectural review and approved color palettes. Repainting itself is generally treated as maintenance and typically does not need a building permit, but HOA rules still apply.
Many neighborhoods in Eastvale are governed by HOAs with architectural review, and exterior color changes are one of the most common things they review. Some associations publish approved color palettes or schemes for body, trim and accent colors, while others review each request individually. Even repainting in the same colors can require a submittal in some communities, so check your HOA's guidelines or contact its management company before you choose colors or set a start date.
A typical submittal lists each color by name and code and shows where it goes on the house, such as the stucco body, trim, fascia, doors and garage door. We can help prepare your HOA color submittal as part of our complimentary color consultation, and we can put sample colors on the wall so you can see them in your own light. Review time varies by HOA and often takes longer than the painting itself, so we schedule the job once you have approval in hand.
Repainting is generally treated as maintenance, so a building permit is typically not required, though repairs that replace framing or stucco systems can be a different matter and we tell you if your scope crosses that line. Also check your HOA's rules on work hours and contractor parking. Once approved, an average exterior takes about a week on site and typically costs $3,000 to $10,000+, priced in a written estimate after a free in-home visit.
