NEWS FROM THE ALC

Weekly ALC Tip:

As many homeowners add improvements such as hot tubs, BBQ gas lines, solar panels, and mini-split systems, new piping or conduits are often installed on the roof or exterior walls. Please keep in mind that painting these items to blend with your home is usually not included in the estimate, but our ALC guidelines do require that they be painted to match the adjacent surface. Consider asking for that to be included.

If the installation is on the roof, such as solar panels, consider purchasing a small sample-size can of paint that closely matches your roof tile color and include painting the exposed conduits, as part of the installation agreement if possible (while the contractor is on the roof).

When the conduit or piping is on an exterior wall, you may want to ask the installer to include painting in the contract, hire a handyman, or take care of it yourself. In some cases, you may have leftover house paint for the job, and if not, a small sample can is usually all you need.

One exception in the guidelines, applies to solar panel equipment panels mounted on the side of the home. Because this equipment includes required safety labels and stickers that must remain visible, the ALC has waived the painting requirement for those components. Note the conduits leading to those panels require painting.
