Gutters divert water away from your home, protecting it against water damage. A residential roofing system needs them to last long. Your gutters might require replacement if it develops extensive damage. If you live in a community with a homeowners association (HOA), seeking approval might be necessary before getting new gutters. Read on to learn more.
You can determine if you need to get approval for your new gutters by checking your HOA’s covenants, conditions and restrictions (CC&Rs). HOAs reinforce these regulations to maintain harmony in the community and preserve the resale value of homes. Be sure you have the updated copy of this document because it tends to get updated every few years.
Whether getting new gutters or metal roofing, you shouldn’t skip seeking HOA approval if necessary. You could receive a notice, pay a fine or face legal consequences if you break your HOA’s rules. If you don’t seek approval, the board could force you to start your project from scratch. You can avoid lengthy delays and unnecessary expenses by following the CC&Rs.
If you need HOA approval for your gutter replacement, you must submit project forms to the board. Once the initial plan has been approved, the next step is to find a reliable contractor to install your new gutters. HOAs typically require you to work with a licensed and insured company for home improvements. Moreover, you might need to provide the board with a detailed project plan from your installer.
