Before you paint
What approval looks like here
Is approval required for exterior paint?
Very likely — treat approval as required, and confirm with the HOA
Confirmed from the HOA's own published rules.
SourceRepainting the same color
Per the Pinery ARC FAQ, a submittal is not required if you repaint using the same colors previously approved by the ARC. If the existing colors pre-date your ownership or you're unsure they were approved, submit samples before repainting.
Changing colors
Per the Pinery ARC FAQ, changing colors requires submitting color chip samples. Shades clearly within the association's approved earth-tone range may be confirmed as pre-approved by the ARC administrator; anything in question must go to the committee for approval before painting begins.
Documents commonly requested
- Color chip samples of the proposed exterior color(s)
Review timeline
No official turnaround time is published for this community. Plan ahead and confirm the current timeline with the HOA before you schedule work.

Common questions
The Pinery: FAQs

Per the HOANo — per the Pinery ARC FAQ, a submittal isn't required if you repaint using the same colors previously approved by the ARC. If the colors pre-date your ownership or you're unsure, submit samples first.
SourceWhat if I want to change my exterior color?
Per the HOASubmit color chip samples to the ARC. Shades clearly within the approved earth-tone range can be confirmed as pre-approved by the administrator; if there's any question, chips go to the committee for approval before you start painting.
SourceWhat kind of exterior colors does The Pinery allow?
Per the HOAExterior colors must be earth tones indigenous to the area and fall within the association's approved color-board range. The HOA keeps an official palette you can view through its ARC resources — check those directly rather than relying on a copy.
SourceHow long does ARC review take?
General guidanceThe Pinery doesn't publish a guaranteed turnaround. HOA committees often review at scheduled meetings and can take a few weeks, so confirm the current timeline with the PHA/ARC office before you schedule work.
How SnowPeak helps
We make the HOA part easier
- Preparing a clear, written estimate and scope you can attach to your submittal
- Documenting your home's existing colors so you can match or change with confidence
- Writing plain-English scope descriptions for the architectural committee
- Coordinating our schedule to start after your approval comes through
To be clear: the HOA makes the approval decision, not us. We can't approve colors or guarantee an outcome — but we make your side of the process clean and well-documented, and we time the work around it.
