ARC Guidelines – Exterior Painting

Note: This is a draft transcription of the official ARC guidelines and may contain errors. 

No exterior surface of any residence, garage or other structures on any lot shall be painted a color different from the original approved color without prior approval of the ARC. Two (2) of each color sample or “paint chip” of the proposed exterior color(s) must be included with each application submitted to the ARC. Only colors consistent with the Association standards (earth tones) will be approved. Garage doors must be painted the lightest color in the palette. Brick on the home, sidewalk, driveway and fences may not be painted.

The following additional guidelines shall also apply:

Harmonious Colors:

The proposed colors must be neutral and aesthetically cohesive with the colors of the exterior brick and roofing materials.

Trim:

Soffit, fascia boards, window and door trim and rain gutters must also be harmonious colors; however, the shades of trim color may be shaded to compliment (lighter/darker) the principal color of the residence or garage.

Gutters:

When rain gutters are painted, their color must match the color of the fascia board trim. When “maintenance free” gutters are installed or replaced, their color must match (as closely as possible) the fascia board trim.
