Painted/stained surfaces are a key part of the Piney Creek visual experience, and the choice of paint/stain colors is a critical factor in maintaining the harmony of the neighborhoods. For practical purposes, the ACC defines paint/stain by the way it is used. There are five general uses:
- Paint/stain applied to the main wood or stucco exterior of the home is known as field/base/body paint/stain.
- Paint/stain applied to trim pieces on a home, particularly around doors and windows is referred to as trim paint/stain.
- Paint/stain applied to a door and exterior shutters (when applicable) on a home is known as accent paint/stain.
- Paint/stain applied to a soffit along the edge of the roof on a home is called roofline paint/stain.
- Brick and stone surfaces shall not be painted/stained but left as originally installed.
The trim must be painted/stained in a color which compliments the base/field/body color. The trim color shall not be the same as the base/field/body color. Garage doors shall be painted/stained the base/field/body color of the home, unless otherwise approved by the ACC.
Colors which are not approved for use as base/field/body or trim, include black, red, dark or bright green, purple, orange, pink, most tones of blue and most tones of yellow.
The Clubhouse office has books of suggested paint colors that can be checked out or perused for the purposes of selection as part of your Architectural Improvement Request form.
