PAINTING OF TOWNHOMES⁄PATIO HOMES
(AMENDMENT IV TO THE DECLARATION)
Exterior painting of the townhomes⁄patio homes is contracted by the Crystal Tree Homeowners’ Association. The homeowner shall pay a proportionate share of the painting with his monthly assessment payment as determined each year in the operating budget and published to the townhome⁄patio home resident.
It shall be the homeowner’s responsibility to paint decks, gazebos, and ancillary structures. They should be painted in keeping with the assigned trim colors of each particular townhome⁄patio home unit. There are currently four custom trim colors that are being used on the townhomes⁄patio homes in Crystal Tree. These four custom trim colors are as follows:
- Benjamin Moore & Co. – Graywood
- Benjamin Moore & Co. – Navajo White
- Benjamin Moore & Co. – Spanish Moss
- Benjamin Moore & Co. – Richmond Bisque
To assure correct paint color, it is recommended that these custom colors be purchased at:
11951 W. 143rd Street
Orland Park, IL 60462
(708) 460-1700
Procedures prior to painting of townhomes/patio homes:
- Townhomes⁄patio homes will be inspected by the painting contractor, approximately 4 to 6 weeks before power washing and painting begins, noting any issues of maintenance of the exterior of each unit.
- A list of maintenance issues, if any, will be submitted to the homeowner. Any suggested repairs, such as carpentry work, wood replacement or excessive caulking will be suggested in advance to allow the homeowner the time to make repairs before painting commences. Repairs are the homeowner’s responsibility and the homeowner can have these repairs done by whomever they choose.
- It is the homeowner’s responsibility to ready the unit for painting by moving patio furniture away from the building, removing vines from siding and trim, removing storm windows, etc.
Procedures after painting of townhomes⁄patio homes:
- The painting contractor will meet with the homeowner to obtain their signature upon completion of the work, to verify that the work has been accomplished to the homeowner’s satisfaction, thereby authorizing the payment of the invoice. This procedure has worked well in the past, and assures the property manager and the auditor that proper controls are in place for the disposition of Association funds.
- An independent contractor will inspect the exterior of the units before the end of the season. Any deficiencies will be identified at this time and the painting contractor will be notified to correct them, if necessary.
- As a final measure, members of the Painting Committee will contact all residents by phone, to speak personally with each townhome⁄patio home owner, when painting has been completed.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION DURING THE PAINTING SEASON.
