Villas must be stained every six years to be in compliance with the KPVA Covenants and Amendment 2. The time-honored requirement perpetuates the standards of the community even when the extant stain is seemingly in fair condition. Thank you for abiding by our shared commitment to maintain KPVillas over the years.
The KPVillas Architecture Control Committee has a staining calendar to help homeowners know when their villa is due. While Picasso's palette is not among the color options, please consider the following guidelines:
RE-STAINING – Must be completed every 6 years using specified stain (see p.5, #13, footnote 2); schedule and stain color set by Architectural Control Committee (ACC). After consulting with the ACC owners have the option of changing to another color among the eight options as long as the new color selected is not the same as their immediate neighbors. Please note that the wood trim, mailbox posts, yard lamp posts, wood or metal garage doors, and service doors must also be stained. Any warped, cracked or deteriorating cedar siding must also be replaced at this time. The only stain that may be used is Benjamin Moore Arborcoat Solid Deck and Siding Stain. The approved supplier is C. E. Lee 1725 N. Ironwood, South Bend, IN, 574-262-6888. Owners may use any contractor (although a list of available contractors can be requested from the ACC). A Staining Completion Form must be completed and returned when staining is finished. Details involving your villa staining are typically mailed (USPS) a year in advance, allowing you ample time to schedule a contractor, since their schedules for a given year fill up rapidly in the spring.
