When you think of a painting company, you probably picture ladders, drop cloths, and fresh coats of color. But if you’ve ever been responsible for an HOA repaint project, you know there’s a lot more to it than that.
A whole lot more.
As a manager or board member, you’re juggling budgets, timelines, resident concerns, and the pressure of making the “right” decision for your community. Painting projects can feel overwhelming, not because of the paint itself, but because of the process that leads up to it.
Why HOA Painting Projects Get Complicated
Don’t worry: we have a solution for you. But before we get to it, let’s unpack what adds to the complexity first.
- Multiple stakeholders: Managers, boards, and residents all have a voice.
- Complicated RFPs: Writing specs and gathering bids can be confusing and time-consuming.
- Reserve planning concerns: Boards often wonder if their Reserve study durations are set properly for exterior paint cycles, stucco maintenance, and fence systems. We help communities make sure they’re budgeting for the real lifespan of their surfaces, not guessing.
- Long-term investment: A repaint isn’t just about today’s curb appeal; it’s about protecting your community for years to come. There’s a lot at stake, right?
- Quality control: How do you know the work was done well and will last?

FAQs
Q: Can MTS help us write an RFP for our community repaint?
Yes. In fact, we specialize in it. We’ll help you outline clear, detailed specifications so you can collect proposals that are easy to compare and fair to all bidders.
Q: Can you help us plan for future maintenance beyond this project?
Absolutely. We don’t just think about today’s repaint. We help boards prioritize maintenance, forecast future needs, build documents for future bidding, and protect long-term investments, so the next repaint is even smoother and more cost-effective. We’ll also identify uncontrollable areas that may fail earlier due to exposure, materials, or construction quirks, and we help create realistic maintenance plans so you know what to expect (and budget for) in the years ahead.
Q: What does an HOA painting inspection include?
An inspection can cover everything from evaluating current paint conditions to checking whether recently completed projects meet quality standards. We act as a third-party expert, giving boards and managers confidence that work is being done correctly, and helping identify maintenance priorities before they turn into costly problems.
Q: How does MTS consulting benefit our board during the bidding process?
Our consulting simplifies the entire process. We help craft clear specifications so you receive consistent, comparable proposals. We also support boards by outlining exactly what the next steps are, making it easier to communicate with residents, set expectations, and keep the project moving smoothly.
