There are many benefits of living in an homeowners association (HOA) community, but it can make home improvement projects a bit of a hassle. If you want to renovate your home, you may have to seek approval with the HOA board first. The members will determine what you can and cannot do, and make sure that your renovation adheres to the HOA’s rules.
While it’s true that not all renovations require an HOA approval, homeowners must seek approval for any changes affecting the exterior of the home. This includes replacing your siding.
If you live in a neighborhood with an HOA board, every resident should apply for approval for any renovation they are planning to do. This allows the board to ensure that your project adheres to HOA’s governing regulations, also known as covenants, conditions and restrictions (CC&Rs). The CC&Rs determine what’s allowed and not allowed in the neighborhood. If you go ahead with a renovation that violates the CC&Rs, the HOA can either fine you for noncompliance or force you to make the necessary changes.
So, before you begin with your siding replacement project, it’s best to get approval from your HOA board. They will inform you whether there are color or siding material restrictions. For instance, the HOA may only require James Hardie® siding materials in the neighborhood. In addition to that, the HOA board may also recommend a pre-approved siding contractor who has previous experience in your neighborhood.
