The Architectural Guidelines are published by the Covenants Committee to regulate external design and appearance of properties.

 

Common Design Questions

  • What are the colors for my siding, trim, garage door, shutters, and front door?
    Colors are determined based on the model unit of your home — A (Aston), B (Barton), or C (Charleston) — as well as your address. Please refer to the Exterior Color Combination Chart and the Model Brochures below for the approved combinations.
    Please note that all paint colors were originally made by Duron, which is no longer in business, and colors with the same names from other manufacturers may not match the standard. However, the original Duron colors can still be reproduced using other manufacturers’ paints upon request at Home Depot, Sherwin Williams, Benjamin Moore, etc.

  • Is there a specific storm door for the front door?
    Yes. There is an specific door you should pick to maintain uniformity in the neighborhood. The door is the Andersen 3000 Series, Full-View, Clear Glass, color WHITE (old model: Andersen HD3050). This door can be purchased at Home Depot and they will install it for an additional fee. 
  • Is there a brand/color of roof shingles I should use?
    We recommend using either CertainTeed Weathered Wood or GAF Royal Sovereign Weathered Gray. Other manufacturers may be considered if they match these, but could delay approval of the architecture modification form. Regardless of the manufacturer or color, an architecture modification form is required for any roof replacement or patching projects.
  • Which model of garage door do I use for a replacement?
    The design standards stipulate one model – CLOPAY Premium Series, Model 2050, Steel, Insulated, color WHITE, Short Elegant design, No windows. (Old model CLOPAY 4050).
  • Who is responsible for tree maintenance?
    The HOA is responsible for maintaining the trees and landscaping in the common areas, while owners are responsible for maintaining the trees on their property. Consult your lot property lines as needed.
  • My lamp post is broken, where do I go to get a replacement?
    If you need to replace the entire light fixture because it is not working or is broken, (the old, original fixtures cannot be repaired), the Board has chosen HINKLEY’s Manor House collection, in Black, Medium Size, and Cast Aluminum with clear beveled glass panels. The exterior wall fixture is [No. 1449BK](https://www.hinkley.com/1449bk.html) and the post fixture is [No. 1441BK](https://www.hinkley.com/1441bk.html). The Hinkley website (linked to above) lists the current list price for each and where they can be purchased online or locally. We recommend using bulbs with 2700K color temperature, sometimes called “warm white” or “soft white”.
