Front door painting
 
Looking for someone to repair a front door, fill in a hole, paint and also install new electronic door locks.

Just a gentle reminder that if you plan to change the color of the door, that project requires ARC approval.

OP, you might include the type of door, wood, fiberglass, metal, etc, this makes a lot of difference for the work you are asking for. Also, is the hole from damage (rust, termites, etc.) or from old hardware removal?

Depending on the damage, it might be better to just get a new door.

If the electronic lock(s) is replacing an existing lock, this is usually a simple remove a few screws, then the old lock, install the new lock and install the retaining screws.

There was a woman in my neighborhood who was told by ARC that she had to get a signed approval by 75 percent of the residents in our courtyard villa section to paint her front door a different color. I signed it, but only after giving her a lot of grief.

I live in a patio villa and was told by the ARC I do not need approval to change my door color.

Actually I checked because we also wanted to change our front door color and was told you do not need ARC approval. Now if we want to change the color on the peak of our house, we do need approval. We are in a CYV, not sure if that matters or not.

I highly recommend ACI Painting-- Efrain Garcia. (352) 348 - 9543. I, and many of my neighbors, as well as my sister-in-law, have used Efrain to paint inside as well as the entire exterior. Efrain is an excellent painter-- who pays a lot of attention to detail. He is honest, dependable, and reasonably priced. Efrain is also willing to take-on difficult projects. For example-- he was able to remove years of stain and spar urethane from our fiberglass front door. He did a beautiful job-- none of the texture of the door was damaged in the process. He applied new stain and spar urethane. It looks beautiful-- like new-- when we moved to The Villages in 2010.

This is what I received from the administrative assistant at Community Standards. "Thank you for your email and inquiry. For District #7 you would be allowed to paint your door any color to match you home as long as it is not bright, neon or florescent."

Courtyard villas have more strict rules about colors than other house types.

Samcat13 08-14-2022 07:58 AM

All they ask for was a name of someone to do the work.:BigApplause::posting:

As for electronic door locks, there are many to choose from. I use all HomeKit aware locks and all my other home devices operate off my iPhone/iPad and from the car using Siri. So besides being able to use a key or typing in a number on the keypad, I just tell Siri to open/lock my doors anywhere I am in the country. Same goes for the garage doors, the sprinkler system, the thermostat, the lights in the house, vacuum, and more. Easy to do if you buy the right products and use the Apple environment capable products. And of course your locks will need to be wifi aware.
