Carroll Painting · Colorado Springs · Since 1988
HOA Painting in Colorado Springs
Community repaints planned with the board, the manager and the residents in mind.
An HOA repaint is more than color on many buildings. It is a written scope the board can approve, a palette that matches the community’s records, a schedule that moves sensibly from building to building and residents who know what to expect. Since 1988, our family has painted in Colorado Springs with one standard passed from father to son: prepare it right, do it once, make it last.

A direct answer for boards and property managers
How should an HOA hire a painting contractor in Colorado Springs?
Ask every bidder to price the same written scope. A useful scope names the buildings and surfaces, the preparation and repairs, the coating products, the approved colors and the expected phasing. Then compare how each contractor will sequence the buildings, keep residents informed and keep records, and who will answer for the project from the first conversation to the last coat.
At our altitude, strong sun and quick weather changes wear south and west elevations first, so the condition of those walls is a good check on the timeline in your reserve study. Our estimate guide explains how a defined scope makes proposals easier to compare.

A family standard since 1988
The safe choice for a board that wants no problems later.
Carroll Painting is a fifth-generation, family-owned company, from Peter I to Peter V. In the late 1800s, Peter Carroll came from Ireland through Savannah, Georgia. In the World War II era the family worked in the Georgia shipyards, painting, welding and repairing ships. The craft then traveled north to New York and New Jersey and south to Florida, where the family learned stucco. In 1988 those roots were planted in Colorado Springs, and the standard came with them.
A board is choosing more than a price. It is choosing who will answer for the work when residents look at their buildings years from now and the next board opens the reserve file. That is the role our family wants: one accountable name and a relationship that lasts long after the ladders come down. Read more of our family story.

How we plan a community repaint
Scope and specifications
We put the buildings, elevations, surfaces, preparation, repairs and products in writing, so the board can compare proposals line by line. If your manager or consultant already has a specification, we price to it and send any questions back in writing.
Preparation and repairs
Chalking, peeling trim, open caulk joints and cracked stucco are addressed before color, not hidden under it. Wood, stucco and metal each get the preparation their surface calls for.
Color approval and records
The board or architectural committee approves the palette under the community’s own rules. We work only from the approved colors and keep the color, sheen and product for each building on record, so future phases and touch ups match.
Multi-building scheduling
Buildings are sequenced around sun exposure, weather, parking, access and community events. When the reserve budget calls for it, the work can be phased by building or area across more than one season.
Resident communication
Residents should hear before work reaches their building: which days, what to move, and what to expect for windows, sprinklers, parking and pets. We agree with the manager on who sends notices and who answers questions, so the board is not fielding every call.
Records for the reserve file
When the work is complete, the colors, products and completed areas are in writing, ready for the reserve file and for the board that follows.

When should a community plan its next repaint?
Reading the reserve study
A reserve study estimates the useful life of exterior paint and what the association sets aside for it. It is a planning estimate, not a schedule. Compare its timeline with how the buildings are actually wearing, and adjust the plan with the board and your reserve specialist.
Reading the buildings
Chalky siding, fading on south and west walls, peeling trim, open caulk joints and cracked stucco show a finish that is no longer protecting well. Repainting while the surface is still sound usually keeps preparation simpler. Our exterior maintenance guide can help with regular checks.
Colorado Springs exterior work follows the weather. Coatings need suitable temperatures and dry conditions to cure, so a calm plan starts early enough for specifications, color approval, bids and resident notice to happen in order rather than in a rush.
HOA painting questions
What should an HOA look for in a painting contractor?
Look for a written scope that matches your specification, clear preparation and repair language, a sensible plan for phasing buildings and a clear approach to resident communication. Ask who will be accountable for the work from start to finish, and how long the company has worked in Colorado Springs. Carroll Painting is a fifth-generation, family-owned company that has served the Springs since 1988.
Can you bid to our community’s painting specification?
Yes. If your manager or consultant has a written specification, we price to it as written and send any questions back in writing. If there is no specification yet, we can help the board put the buildings, surfaces, preparation and colors into a clear written scope.
Who approves the colors for an HOA repaint?
The board or architectural committee approves the palette under the community’s governing documents. We work from the approved colors and keep the color, sheen and product for each building on record, so later phases and touch ups match.
How far ahead should a board plan a community repaint?
Allow time for the specification, color approval, bids, a board vote and resident notice before the painting season. Starting a season or more ahead, alongside the reserve study review, lets each step happen in order.
Can a community repaint be phased over more than one year?
Often, yes. Phasing by building or area can follow the reserve budget. Colors, products and preparation should stay consistent from one phase to the next, which is why we keep the approved specification on record.
How do you keep residents informed during the work?
We agree with the manager on how notices go out and who answers questions. Residents should know which days the work reaches their building and what to move, close or keep clear, such as patio items, windows, sprinklers and parking.
How much does HOA painting cost in Colorado Springs?
Cost depends on the number of buildings, the surfaces included, their condition and repairs, access and the coating system. A free estimate built on a written scope gives the board numbers it can compare and plan around, building by building or phase by phase.
Do you help individual homeowners with an HOA paint notice?
Yes. This page is written for boards and community managers. If you have a notice for your own home, our HOA paint notice guide explains how to gather the details and plan the work.
