Compliant Sheds

We Build Sheds That Meet Homeowners Association and Architectural Review Requirements

Many neighborhoods in the Wilmington area — from newer developments to long-established communities — have HOA (Homeowners Association) and ARC (Architectural Review Committee) guidelines that regulate the design and placement of outdoor structures.
At Port City Sheds, we understand this process inside and out. Our goal is to help homeowners get the storage space they need without any approval headaches.

We Work With You and Your HOA

When your community requires shed approval, we’ll provide the details your HOA or ARC needs for review — including:

• Digital mockups of the proposed shed.
• Specifications for paint color, roofing materials, and siding style to show the shed will match the look of your home.
• Details on shed placement, orientation, and setback compliance within your property lines.

Whether your neighborhood requires a simple matching roof and color scheme or a complete visual match to your home’s lap siding, we’ll make sure your shed meets every requirement.

Typical HOA & ARC Requirements

While each community has its own rules, most HOAs and ARCs require that:

• The paint color of the shed matches or complements the home.
• The roofing material and shingle color match the home.
• In some cases, the siding style and trim must match the home’s exterior appearance.
• The shed’s placement follows HOA setback rules and is not visible from the street or certain property lines.

We’ve worked with homeowners in communities across New Hanover, Pender, and Brunswick Counties — from new construction neighborhoods to established coastal communities — and have successfully guided each through the approval process.

How We Help

• Color & Material Matching: We can source matching paint, roofing, and siding materials to comply with ARC design standards.
• Approval Support: We’ll help you provide the right photos, diagrams, and specs for your submission packet.
• On-Site Build: Once approved, we handle the rest — your shed is built on-site to match your home perfectly.

Why It Matters

A properly approved, well-matched shed not only keeps you compliant with your HOA — it also enhances your property’s value and appearance. We believe that a backyard structure should look like it’s always been part of the home, not an afterthought.

Whether your HOA is strict or flexible, Port City Sheds will help you navigate the process quickly and confidently so you can focus on what matters — getting the space you need.
