Curb Appeal Feature
During inspections, committee
members observed many roll-up garage
doors were dirty, likely due to excess
lubrication, sun fading, or general grime.
Residents who tried cleaning their doors
discovered that the paint had washed
off making the situation worse. The
door now had a chalky effect. Since the
doors are 20 years old, they need a fresh
coat of paint in colors like shell white,
Swiss coffee, white, or white shadow,
easily matching any existing stucco
colors. A semi-gloss or satin sheen is
recommended. The weather stripping
and base molding should match the
garage door or door trim color. A Home
Improvement Application (HIA) is
required to paint or replace the garage
door. If a door is damaged, like being
hit by a vehicle, it must be replaced with
a door that matches the existing one
in design, material, and appearance.
Following the DRC Guidelines (5.31)
when painting or replacing the door
is essential to avoid costly errors.
Installing a different door could lead to
financial repercussions, so it is crucial to
adhere to the Guidelines.
