3 Remodeling Tips If You Live in an HOA Community

Before getting an estimate from your choice of remodeler, you need to learn more about what your HOA requires. DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Huntsville, a premier home remodeling company, shares what you need to know.

1. Read the HOA covenants, conditions and restrictions (CC&Rs) thoroughly. Different HOAs have varying CC&Rs, so make sure to review those that apply to your own neighborhood. Also make sure you’re reading the latest version of these guidelines. If you need to confirm anything about the CC&Rs, ask a board member.

2. Get pre-approval before starting work on your remodel. It’s a bad idea to begin work before it’s approved by the HOA. You will likely need to submit a project proposal form, plus some additional documents. Make sure every requirement is met prior to starting work. It may be a good idea to get a comprehensive kitchen quote from a trusted remodeler, who will ensure the specifications and final design are compliant with HOA guidelines.

3. Be patient. After submitting a project proposal for approval, wait for a response from your HOA. The timing may be affected by the complexity of your remodel, and by the need to confirm contractor licensing and insurance to adhere to the CC&Rs.

It’s up to you to understand the HOA guidelines and ensure your remodeling project is compliant. Still, a little bit of help from a trusted remodeler like DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Huntsville won’t hurt. Our trained and experienced team can help you go over the CC&Rs during a home survey. Once your project gets the green light, we’ll move forward with your remodel.
