HOA & Multi-Unit Painting Overview
Colorado's Front Range has thousands of HOA communities, many built during the 1990s-2010s construction boom with stucco and wood-sided buildings that now need attention. Denver's freeze-thaw cycles (100+ per year) combined with intense UV create extreme wood deterioration. What looks like surface peeling often reveals advanced rot underneath. Budgeting 10-20% for wood repairs on communities over 15 years old is standard.
The reliable exterior painting season in Denver is late April through mid-October. Large HOA projects (50+ units) may need to be phased across two painting seasons. We guide boards through the process from initial assessment and color selection through final walkthrough and documentation.

Our Process
Community Assessment
Inspect every building documenting conditions by building, elevation, and unit. Create a condition rating (1-5 scale) for each building to help the HOA prioritize.
CC&R Review and Color Approval
Review community covenants and architectural guidelines. Present color recommendations with large samples applied to representative buildings. Navigate the approval process with the ARC.
Board Presentation
Prepare detailed proposal with scope breakdown by building, phasing options, multi-year plans, and good-better-best options. Include reserve study alignment.
Resident Notification
Distribute written notices to every unit 2-4 weeks before work. Post signage at entrances. Address common concerns: noise, access, parking, pet safety, timeline.
Mobilization and Staging
Establish staging area for materials and equipment. Coordinate gate access, parking restrictions, and dumpster placement. Post building-by-building schedule.
Pressure Washing
Pressure wash building by building. Apply mildew treatment to all affected areas. Notify residents 24 hours before their building to close windows and move patio items.
Carpentry and Repairs
Replace rotted wood trim, fascia, soffits, and siding. Repair stucco cracks. Fix railings and handrails. Document all repairs with photos for HOA records.
Preparation and Masking
Scrape loose paint, sand edges, clean surfaces. Mask windows, lights, and unit numbers. Protect walkways, landscaping, and personal property.
Priming
Spot-prime all bare wood and repairs. Full-coat prime for significant color changes. Use tannin-blocking primer on cedar or redwood.
Body Color (Two Coats)
Apply two coats of body color to all siding. Mix large batches to maintain consistency across buildings. Ensure uniform coverage on every building.
Trim and Accent Painting
Two coats of trim color on fascia, soffits, window trim, corner boards. Paint accent colors on doors and shutters. DTM coating on railings and metal elements.
Building-by-Building Quality Control
Inspect each building before moving crews. Walkthrough with HOA representative. Create and close punch list for each building.
Final Walkthrough and Closeout
Community-wide inspection with Board. Provide complete documentation: color map, specs, warranty, and maintenance schedule. Provide labeled leftover paint.
HOA & Multi-Unit Painting Tips for Federal Heights
Plan for Denver's short painting season
The reliable window is late April through mid-October. Large projects (50+ units) may need two seasons. Mountain communities above 6,500 feet have an even shorter window -- May through September. Start planning in January.
Wood rot is rampant in Colorado
Freeze-thaw cycles combined with UV create extreme wood deterioration. What looks like surface peeling often reveals rot underneath. Budget 10-20% for wood repairs on communities over 15 years old. Recommend fiber cement replacements for worst areas.
Stucco communities need elastomeric
Standard acrylic paint does not adequately protect stucco from freeze-thaw cracking. Elastomeric coatings cost more upfront but extend repaint cycle from 5-7 years to 8-12 years and prevent costly moisture intrusion.
Sun-exposed elevations degrade faster
South and west-facing elevations can be 2-3 years ahead in degradation. Propose a maintenance strategy addressing sun-exposed sides more frequently, saving 30-40% over a 10-year period.
