He probably didn't understand because villa owners are usually not allowed to paint any color other than the original. We are in Southern Star Villas in Tamarind Grove, which were finished in July 2011. Until this year you could not repaint anything other than the original color of your home. One of the homeowners ran a petition around and I believe she had to get 60 signatures out of the 88 homes, and then submit for approval.
They now allow us to paint the original color, they didn't take that away, or change the color to one of about 20 choices. So far in the past six months we've had about 10 homes change to a different color and one repainted the original color. There is a current petition running to allow pavers for a driveway instead of the concrete driveways. We also had a petition a couple of years ago to allow staining your driveway, which did pass but you had to adhere to certain standards.
I've noticed everyone has used the same painter on their home. It's Omar's Painting of Lady Lake. The first home he did about six months ago they charged $1200 for a standard 3 BR stucco home. I don't know if he under-estimated the job or just wanted to get his foot in the door, but ever since he's been charging about $1650 per home. He's been recommended on this site before. I can highly recommend Investment Painters who replied just above me. They painted the inside of our home and is the most recommended painter on Talk of the Villages.
