CHARLOTTE, N.C. - ncarol.com -- As spring weather begins to emerge and temperatures warm up, homeowners are often looking for ways to spruce up their home and yard. To maintain the aesthetic appeal of the community, associations put architectural policies in place. It is important to remind homeowners of what these policies entail and how to go about gaining approval for projects. Kuester Management Group has released a statement to the press regarding how to curb issues and maintain compliance.

"As time goes on, homeowners want to repaint their shutters, replace their roof, or add a fence or shed," says Bryan Kuester, President of Kuester Management Group. "They should certainly be able to make these changes, but it is important that they pass plans through the architectural review board (ARB) and gain approval first."

The board should create clear rules and regulations when it comes to what is permissible, says Kuester. Have detailed lists of what paint colors are allowed, size specifications for decks or sheds, or standards for fences. When there is not any gray area, it makes it easier for members to plan their projects and have all of the information they need for securing permission to move forward. Make necessary forms and guidelines easily accessible.

If there are issues, the ARB should work with homeowners to reach an agreeable solution. Review various options and how projects can be adjusted to align with established regulations. Everyone should be held to the same expectations and architectural policies should be fairly enforced.

"It can be a good idea from time to time to remind members about standards and why certain rules are in place," says Kuester. "The HOA is not trying to prevent them from making changes, but rather ensuring that these changes align with community aesthetics and protect property values."
