Executive Summary: HOA Exterior Painting Houston
HOA exterior painting in Houston repaints homes in architectural-committee-approved colors, with the application paperwork prepared before work starts.
Repaints use primer + topcoat with 2 coats of acrylic in the approved colors, taking an estimated 2 to 7 days after approval with a 3 to 6 painter crew. Houston-area pricing commonly runs $2 to $4.50 per square foot, or $4,000 to $9,000 for a 2,000 sq ft home (estimates).
Committee schedules and rain both affect start dates, and rot adds repair days. Pre-1978 homes are tested for lead paint before any scraping.

Stop Letting Fading & Damage Hurt Your Property Value
Violation letters for faded paint
HOAs flag faded trim, peeling doors and mildew. We repaint in the approved colors so the letter gets closed.
Colors that look off next to neighbors
Store-matched colors drift. We buy the exact approved code and sheen and test it next to an approved house.
Applications that bounce back
Missing codes or sheens slow approval. Your written scope lists brand, code, sheen and surface for each color.

Frequently Asked Questions
The short answer is yes in most Houston HOAs, even when you keep the same color. Submit the color, sheen and brand to your architectural review committee first. We provide swatches and a written scope for the application, and painting starts after the approval comes back.
Painting without approval can lead to a violation letter and a second repaint at your cost.
The short answer is about $2 to $4.50 per square foot of paintable surface, or roughly $4,000 to $9,000 for a 2,000 sq ft home, based on typical Houston-area pricing. Square footage, stories, siding type and repairs move the number. Your written estimate sets the exact price.
Homes with a second story cost more per square foot because of ladder and setup time.
The short answer is to submit an architectural review application with the exact color names and codes, sheen, brand and which surfaces get each color. Many HOAs also want a photo of the house and physical swatches. We provide the written scope and swatches so your application is complete.
If you are choosing from a long palette, a Paint Color Consultation Houston TX visit narrows it down.
Yes, we do. We buy the exact approved color by brand and code, and if the HOA lists only a sample, we have it color-matched and test it on the house next to a neighbor’s approved color. Sheen gets matched, since the same color reads differently in flat and satin.
Fences often have their own approved stain or color; see Fence & Gate Painting Services.
An HOA compliant exterior repaint usually requires an estimated 2 to 7 days of painting once approval comes back. The approval itself often takes a few weeks, depending on how often your architectural committee meets. Rain and humidity can push the painting schedule by a day or two.
Townhome rows often need every owner to agree; see Townhouse Exterior Painting.
