Why HOA Boards and Property Managers Choose a Licensed General Contractor
Painting an HOA community is different from painting a single home. Boards answer to residents, property managers answer to boards, and both answer to the association's governing documents and insurance carrier. A repaint that looks simple on paper involves color approval, insurance compliance, resident communication, scheduling around dozens of households, and almost always some repair work the building needs before the first coat goes on.
RG Painting and Construction is the only painting contractor in Santa Barbara that also holds a California general contractor B license (CSLB #931758). For a community association, that license matters in a specific way: the stucco cracks, dry-rotted trim, damaged siding, and failed waterproofing that a board's reserve study flags as deferred maintenance can be repaired by the same crew that paints — legally, under one license, on one schedule.
For boards and property managers, this means a cleaner project: one contractor accountable for both the repairs and the finish, one Certificate of Insurance, one written scope the board can approve, one point of contact through the entire community repaint, and one warranty conversation if anything needs attention afterward.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you handle the HOA color approval (ARC) process?
Yes. We manage the Architectural Review Committee color approval process for the boards we work with. We help select colors that fit the community's palette and governing documents, prepare physical samples and on-building mock-ups, prepare the submission documentation the committee requires, and track the approval through the review process. In Santa Barbara, ARC approval typically takes 2 to 4 weeks, and we schedule the project around the approval date.
Do you repair stucco, siding, and trim before painting?
Yes. As a CSLB-licensed general contractor (License #931758), we repair stucco cracks, replace dry-rotted wood and trim, repair fascia and siding, and prepare surfaces for waterproofing in-house. Most painting companies hold only a C-33 painter's license and must subcontract this work, which means a second contractor and a second insurance certificate for the association. We complete the repairs and the painting under one license.
What types of community associations do you work with?
We work with condominium associations, townhome communities, and homeowner associations throughout Santa Barbara, Montecito, and Goleta. Our work covers full-building exterior repaints, common areas, breezeways, stairwells, railings, clubhouses, and shared amenity buildings, along with the pre-paint repairs these communities typically need.
Can you provide a Certificate of Insurance naming our association as Additional Insured?
Yes. We issue Certificates of Insurance naming the association as Additional Insured through our insurance carrier in standard format. We carry general liability at commercial limits and workers' compensation on all crew. This documentation is almost always required by the association's insurance policy and management company.
How do you minimize disruption to residents during a community repaint?
We schedule community repaints in phases so only part of the community is under work at any time. We provide the board and property manager with schedules and resident notices, coordinate gate access and parking, and clean and secure the site at the end of each work day so walkways, common areas, and parking stay usable. The board gets a single point of contact and regular progress updates.
Are you licensed and insured to work on HOA and community properties?
Yes. RG Painting and Construction holds CSLB License #931758, verifiable at cslb.ca.gov. We carry general liability at commercial limits, workers' compensation on all crew, and we issue Certificates of Insurance naming the association as Additional Insured. California Business and Professions Code Section 7028 requires CSLB licensing for any project over $500, which all community repaints exceed. Founded by Ray Guerrero in 2001.
How do we get an HOA painting estimate for our board?
Call 805-452-8406 or contact us through our website. For community associations, we walk the property with the board or property manager, document the scope and condition building by building, identify any repairs needed before painting, and provide a written estimate with line-item scope, per-building breakdowns, timeline, and warranty terms formatted for board review.
