A community-wide exterior repaint is one of the larger projects an HOA or condo association takes on. Good planning keeps owners informed and the project on budget.
1. Inspect before you bid
Have the buildings inspected for wood rot, stucco cracks, failing sealant and mildew. Repairs found during the inspection should be priced and included in the scope so bids are comparable.
2. Approve colors early
Board color approvals and owner input can take months. Ask for painted sample boards or test areas on a building so everyone sees the colors in Tallahassee light.
3. Write a clear scope
List what gets painted (walls, trim, doors, railings, stairs, garage doors), the coating system, the number of coats, and what repairs are included or priced per unit.
4. Communicate with owners
Send a building-by-building schedule, explain what owners must move (plants, furniture, vehicles), and how to report concerns.
5. Pick the season
Spring and fall usually have the most dependable painting weather in North Florida. Summer work is possible with early starts.
