Sunrise Fence LLC, a fence company in Monroe, NC, has published a step-by-step guide to help homeowners in Union County secure homeowners association (HOA) approval before installing a new fence. The company said the resource is designed to address a common pain point: fence projects that stall because applications are incomplete or missing required documents.
Many neighborhoods in Union County have HOAs with their own rules on fence materials, styles, and placement. According to Sunrise Fence, a typical submission starts with a copy of the home's survey or plot plan and the HOA's required submission form. The form should be filled out with full details of the work, matching the homeowner's fence proposal and contract. Homeowners then outline the planned fence location on the survey in colored marker, keeping the line inside their own property lines, and include a photo of the selected fence style. Some HOAs also require an application review fee, which is often paid by check.
The company's HOA fence approval guide recommends checking the application for missing details or any extra items the HOA has requested before sending it. The package can then be sent to the HOA by mail, or by email or fax if the association accepts it. Because HOAs generally send their decision to the homeowner rather than the contractor, homeowners should expect to receive the approval directly from their HOA.
For homeowners who would rather not handle the paperwork, Sunrise Fence can submit the HOA application on their behalf. However, requirements differ from one association to the next, and some HOAs ask for different forms, photos, or fees, so the company encourages homeowners to review their own HOA's rules before starting.
The announcement matters for Union County homeowners because HOA approval is often a mandatory first step that can delay or derail a fence installation. By providing clear guidance, Sunrise Fence aims to reduce frustration and help projects move forward more smoothly. The company installs wood, vinyl, aluminum, and chain link fences in a range of styles, including privacy, picket, shadowbox, board on board, split rail, and estate rail. It also offers gate installation, fence replacement, storm damage repair, and custom fence design, giving homeowners several options to fit their HOA's guidelines.
Sunrise Fence serves homeowners in Monroe, Indian Trail, Matthews, Stallings, Waxhaw, and Weddington, North Carolina, along with surrounding communities. The company's showroom is located at 921 Airport Rd, Monroe, NC 28110, and its outdoor showroom is open 24/7, with the indoor showroom open by appointment. Sunrise Fence also sells wood, vinyl, and aluminum fence materials for do-it-yourself projects.
