Your local homeowners association (HOA) does a lot of things for your neighborhood. For starters, the board is responsible for keeping the community neat and aesthetically pleasing, which in turn, helps maintain property values. The HOA can also help settle disputes between neighbors, whether these involve noise, disruptive behavior or visual nuisances. But every coin has two sides to it. Some people are not fans of the HOA because they set limitations on what you can do to your home. Projects, such as roof and gutter installation, exterior painting and especially siding replacement, will usually require HOA approval before they can move forward with the project.
Having your old siding replaced in an HOA community may feel like jumping through hoops, but you’ll need to move past that feeling and start being compliant. No homeowner gets to live in an HOA neighborhood by accident. You’ve agreed to their conditions, covenants and restrictions (CC&Rs) the moment you agreed to that home purchase.
Any home renovations that involve altering the exterior of your home, including siding replacement, have to be approved by the HOA first. It’s in your best interest to adhere to the CC&Rs because they’re legally binding and enforceable. Non-compliance can lead to warnings and fines, and – depending on the HOA – repeated violations can even revoke a homeowner’s access to amenities and other privileges provided by the community. And if the person continues to ignore violation notices, fines and sanctions, the board may decide on litigation as a last resort.
It all sounds a bit too much, isn’t it? But HOA boards are usually reasonable, and as long as you follow the necessary guidelines, you should have no issues getting your siding replacement approved. It’s up to you to make the process as easy or difficult as you like. Here are a few useful siding replacement tips you should consider if you live in an HOA community:
