Siding replacement is a fairly quick and simple home improvement project compared to others. However, if you live in a community with a homeowners’ association (HOA), there are additional steps that you must take. As one of the top siding and roofing contractors in the area, we share these four tips to keep in mind:
1. Read your HOA’s CC&Rs. The CC&Rs or the covenants, conditions and restrictions are the rules and regulations that all members of the HOA should adhere to. These include guidelines regarding exterior home improvements, particularly the recommended type and color of siding that matches the aesthetics of the neighborhood. Take the time to read them so you know what to expect when the time comes you have to plan the siding replacement. Ask any of the HOA board members for an updated copy if yours is already outdated.
2. Secure pre-approval. Before you reach out to a siding contractor, make sure to submit all needed forms to the HOA board. Many HOAs require a project proposal and some additional documents before starting the project. Once they approve your plan to replace your siding, you can then choose from the HOA’s list of pre-approved contractors. These are ones that have already done home improvement projects in the community before and have extensive knowledge of the HOA’s rules and regulations. time to find a contractor.
