Is it time to paint your home in Tucson? If so, there are a few things that you should know regarding your choice of colors.
The first step to making sure that you don't get into any trouble is to hire a house painter in Tucson to paint your home, particularly if you live in a historic district, or are part of a block association or homeowner's 
association. You may not have too many options if you have a HOA or you live in a historical district, you may be limited in the colors that you can paint your home.

We often get asked: "Why won't my HOA let me pick the color of my home?" This question isn't completely accurate. Your Homeowner's Association does give you some choice in the color of your home, but it has to fit into a narrow range of colors. Why are they so limited? Well, it has to do with property values. There are some paints that look good in certain places, and some paints that don't.
If you have a beach house in Seal Beach, you can have a house that is Nantucket gray with white trim next to a bright yellow hippie themed shack with red trim. And guess what? It works there. Beach cities are supposed to be eclectic and out of the ordinary. However, most homes in HOAs are tract homes, and in the Southwest for example, a lot of them have terracotta or pink clay tile roofs. Can you imagine a Spanish Olive Green house with a pink terracotta roof without wincing just a bit? No? Well Neither can we. That's one reason to hire an Tucson painter. To do his job, he has to have a good eye for shade.
