Homeowners in Union County, North Carolina, who live in neighborhoods governed by homeowners associations (HOAs) often face unexpected delays when installing a new fence. Missing documents, unclear submission requirements, and strict design rules can stall a project for weeks. Sunrise Fence LLC, a fence company in Monroe, NC, has released a comprehensive guide to help homeowners avoid these pitfalls by preparing a complete HOA application from the start.
According to the company's HOA fence approval guide, a typical submission requires a copy of the home's survey or plot plan, the HOA's required form filled out with details matching the fence proposal and contract, a colored line on the survey showing the planned fence location within property lines, and a photo of the selected fence style. Some associations also charge a review fee, often payable by check. The guide recommends double-checking the application for missing details before sending it to the HOA by mail, email, or fax if accepted.
Because HOAs typically send decisions directly to homeowners rather than contractors, homeowners must be prepared to receive and act on the approval themselves. For those who prefer to avoid paperwork, Sunrise Fence offers to submit the HOA application on their behalf. However, the company emphasizes that requirements vary widely between associations, so homeowners should review their own HOA's rules first.
Sunrise Fence installs wood, vinyl, aluminum, and chain link fences in styles including privacy, picket, shadowbox, board on board, split rail, and estate rail. They also provide gate installation, fence replacement, storm damage repair, and custom fence design. The company serves Monroe, Indian Trail, Matthews, Stallings, Waxhaw, Weddington, and surrounding communities. All installations are handled by company employees, not subcontractors, and come with a lifetime warranty. Homeowners can view fence styles at the Monroe location, which features a 24/7 outdoor showroom and an indoor showroom open by appointment.
For Union County homeowners, the new guide addresses a common pain point: HOA approval can be a maze of forms and deadlines. By clarifying the process and offering submission support, Sunrise Fence aims to reduce stress and help projects move forward without unnecessary delays. The guide is available online, and the company encourages homeowners to consult it before beginning any fence project in an HOA community.
