HOA & Property Manager Painting Resources

Planning a community repaint is a big decision. These guides help HOA boards and property managers plan with confidence — whether or not you hire us. Drawn from 40 years of painting Portland-area communities.

When Should Our Community Repaint?

Most Pacific Northwest communities repaint their exteriors every 7–10 years, though it varies with paint quality, siding type, sun and weather exposure, and how well the last job was prepped. Watch for fading, chalking, peeling, or failing caulk. Because board approvals typically happen in spring and summer for warm-season work, it’s smart to start gathering bids 6–12 months ahead.

Resource FAQ

How often should an HOA repaint the exterior?

Typically every 7–10 years in the Pacific Northwest, depending on paint quality, siding type, exposure, and prep. Watch for fading, chalking, peeling, or failing caulk.

A clear scope (surfaces, prep, number of coats), colors, timeline, price, warranty terms, references, and proof of license and insurance.

Through door and bulletin-board notices at each phase, quiet crews with open walkways, low-VOC paint, daily cleanup, and regular updates to the board or manager.

Verhaalen employee crews led by a crew leader, with a project manager on site weekly — never subcontractors.
