O. TRIM

FCHOA Purchaser's Handbook - Revision Date: 2021-01-10

1. Crown molding (3-5/8” minimum.), “leaf guard” gutter, or ogee roof gutter is required along the roof edge and is considered a component of the trim of the house. Crown, bed, or dentils are required as a lower cornice detail. See typical cornice details in Architectural Exhibits VI-1, VI-2 and VI-3.
2. Trim shall be wood or PVC unless otherwise approved by the ARC.
3. Cornice detail with trim sizes shall be drawn on the construction plans. If more than one cornice detail is to be used, show each detail. Construction plans should clearly indicate the location of the differing cornice details. An example would be the use of dentil blocks on the front elevation and bed molding elsewhere.
4. Corner boards shall be nominal dimension of 4” on both sides.

5. Tidewater Virginia is susceptible to higher humidity. Humidity, tall trees, and rolling hills present challenges to paint cover and mildew control. Owners should consult with their Builder and painter to provide the necessary protection. Use of a premium oil-base primer and premium acrylic latex paint are recommended.
