Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
While all of our buildings meet, and in some cases exceed, state codes, we ask that you give us a call to discuss your HOA's specific regulations to ensure compliancy.
At General Shelters, we understand many homeowners live in subdivisions with Homeowners Associations (HOAs). While HOA rules can vary widely, our buildings are designed to make compliance as easy as possible. Here’s how we help:
-
Flexible color & material options — trim, siding, roofing, and paint colors can be chosen to match your house and neighborhood aesthetic.
-
Variety of styles & roof pitches — from gable to barn styles, dormer sheds, lean-to or monoslope roofs, so you can pick one that blends with nearby roofs.
-
Multiple sizes and profiles — smaller, lower-profile buildings and those with shorter wall heights are often favored by HOAs.
-
Quality finishes — windows, trim, and architectural details help buildings look “finished” and intentional, not just utilitarian.
-
Support for HOA paperwork — we can provide specs, drawings, color swatches, and photos helpful for ARC/HOA approval if needed.
Note: Each neighborhood's HOA rules are different. We recommend checking your HOA covenants and submitting your chosen building plans for approval before purchase.
