Homes in Esperanza Estates were originally painted using five
colors of Dunn-Edwards paint, plus black for front gates and
lamp posts. Exposed wood was painted
using Norfolk Brown, while Navajo White, Baja White, Weathered
Coral, and Travertine were used on the masonry. The photocopy of the original paint list below gives the original color of each house, identified by Lot # and Street Address. According to the EE CC&R's, any repainting must be done using the same colors -- Dunn-Edwards Norfolk Brown on wood, and the listed color on the masonry. While use of Dunn Edwards paint is not required when repainting, it is the most reliable way to avoid color-matching problems. (It is also the best way, according to some long-time, local painting contractors, to get a fade-resistant and highly durable paint job.) The exact 'recipes' for each of the colors are known only to Dunn Edwards. Any other supplier of paint can only make a 'best-efforts' attempt at matching those colors by optically scanning a small sample. If the color-matching system being used isn't correctly calibrated or operated, or if the person mixing the paint makes a mistake when measuring the various tinting colors, the resulting paint color will be incorrect. If a mismatch is bad enough to be 'obvious' to anyone comparing newly painted areas with the adjacent house or houses, repainting using a new batch of correctly mixed paint will be required. Property owners are responsible for complying with this requirement of the EE CC&R's, not the painting contractor. Before proceeding with any exterior painting, particularly with any painting visible from the street, it is recommended to paint a small -- approximately 2x4 foot -- 'test area' immediately adjacent to the adjoining house (or houses) of the same color; this will allow the color-match to be confirmed once the paint has dried, and before the entire structure has been painted. Don't hesitate to contact the HOA Board Architectural Control person and/or Board President if the match is in doubt. If you want to purchase Dunn Edwards paint at the EE HOA 10% discount, either for pickup at the D-E store or for delivery to your home, do the following: Visit the D-E store at 4320 E. Speedway (or call them at 520-327-0096) and give them our D-E account number -- 068830-000. Using that account number, the clerk will have access to a list of D-E paint colors used on the trim and masonry of EE homes (i.e., Norfolk Brown on the trim, Navajo White, Baja White, Weathered Coral, and Travertine on the masonry.) Refer to the information below to determine the correct paint color for your house. If you are ordering for delivery, you will need to provide your street address and phone number; by pre-paying, the paint can be left at your house whether or not you are home. Delivery will not be 'next day', but it should certainly be within a week of placing an order. If you experience any difficulty, ask to speak to Armando Alcantar at the D-E store, or call Joe McCalpin (he's listed in the current EE Phone Directory.) |
