While living in an homeowners association (HOA) community offers a string of exciting benefits, including access to amenities and increased community engagement, it also comes with limitations, especially when it comes to modifications to your exterior. In fact, you might even need to run your shingle colors past the board.
HOAs Have Strict Regulations Called CC&Rs
HOAs usually have a strict set of rules and regulations called covenants, conditions and restrictions (CC&Rs). These documents narrate how the HOA operates and what specific rules the homeowners have to follow. CC&Rs can be extremely detailed, right down to the roofing colors acceptable in the neighborhood.
Keep in mind that one of the fundamental goals of a HOA is to preserve the property values of all the homes in the community. By enforcing the rules relating to roofing materials, types and colors, the HOA helps maintain the aesthetics of the neighborhood.
How to Get Your Preferred Roof Color Approved
Reach out to your HOA’s management company to see if there is a list of roofing colors, materials or patterns that have already been approved. Choosing an option that has already received approval from the board will surely speed up the process. If there is no list to go by, you will need to build a case that shows the committee a reason to approve the roof color, material or pattern you have chosen. Keep in mind that the HOA is there to protect the value of your home, so be patient and work within their comfort zone.
