Painting Your Home Questions and Answers

Hello Residents,

I have created this section to answer some of the most asked questions. The Association has sent hundreds of letters out for painting and so you are not alone if you received one. The Board wishes to continue to make Tustin Meadows a beautiful place to live. If you have further questions please contact the Action Property Management office.

I received a letter to paint my home, when do I have to paint it?
Please contact your manager Cecilia de Heras to set a date to get started. The Board is aware that it is a large cost to the owners. You can send your request in writing through regular us mail to:

Action Property Management
Attention: Cecilia
2603 Main Street, Suite 500
Irvine, CA 92614

or via email to cdeheras@actionlife.com

What colors can I use to paint my house?
The current approved color schemes are on the Sherwin Williams website that was set up for Tustin Meadows.  You can access that website from the below link:

https://www.sherwin-williams.com/homeowners/color/find-and-explore-colors/hoa/tustin/ca/tustin-meadows/

Do I need approval to paint my house the same original colors?
Yes please send in the Architectural Application so that we can be sure that these colors were approved. Over time the colors may have changed and the previous owner could not have painted in an approved color.

When do I need to submit an application?
If you don’t want to use the approved colors Homeowners will need to fill out an Architectural (ARC) application and submit that for approval before starting any work.  .  The application is available on the homeowner portal website….  Click “About” on the green header bar at the top of the page and from the drop down menu, choose ARC Review. You may also obtain a copy of the application by calling the office at 949-450-0202

What should I do if I already painted my house colors that were not approved?
Fill out the architectural application and send it in with the paint samples of the colors that you have already painted. The Architectural Committee will review and provide a decision which will be sent in writing. Please be advised that if your color choice is not approved the Board can request that you re paint with approved colors. This can be added to escrow instructions and could stop any sale until the issue is corrected.

What can I do if I have received a hearing request for painting?
Contact Management immediately to schedule a date to paint and discuss if you can  come to the meeting or just provide information in writing for the Board to review at the meeting.

If you have additional questions, please contact your Manager, Cecilia de Heras, at cdeheras@actionlife.com.
