Painting for Homeowner Associations

Projects for Homeowners Associations in New England

Home Owner Associations in Massachusetts are often charged with managing a strict budget for common area maintenance. Budgeting for maintenance can overwhelm an HOA, whose members are often volunteers. This is where we can help.

If your HOA or Community notices signs that your interior or exterior paint needs refreshing, we can manage the whole process:

Let CertaPro Painters help you write the paint specs for your project:

• • Number of paint or stain coats needed
  • Types of paints and stains recommended
  • Types of equipment (lifts, scaffolding, pump jacks) needed
  • The carpentry and repair required to repair rotted wood on trim, shingles, etc.

Once you have the above specifications, you’ll know all of the bidders are quoting the same project.

Step-by-step instructions and a Microsoft Word Painting RFP (Request for Proposal) template are included here.

We’ll help you with the unique aspects of Commercial Painting an HOA faces, including:

• • Why you must receive apples-to-apples bids from your vendors.
  • How to plan or stage the painting to maximize your budget – for example, painting all exterior shingles one year and clapboards the next.  The whole community or building doesn’t have to be done at once!
  • The importance of a written warranty.
  • The difference between stain and paint (hint:  they often look the same but protect your community’s exterior quite differently).
  • Presenting your recommendations to the HOA board.
  • Night and weekend painting

We’ve managed dozens of projects for Homeowner Associations, including:

• • Mailbox posts, street lights, and speed bumps painting
  • Common buildings such as pool houses painting and carpentry
  • Building multi-year painting plans that include, for example, staining all of the decks over 3 years
  • Powerwashing to buildings
  • Interior painting of common areas, hallways, and stairwells
