What is actually different here
Old Greenwood: woodland stains and AC color, not a CSO footing rule
Old Greenwood color language wants major forms to recede into brownish-gray forest tones; trim may be woodland stains or soft light-reflecting hues, not bright primaries. Composite roof color is called out as green to brown-green or gray-green. That is an Architectural Committee conversation with samples, stacked on Town of Truckee rules — not a six-inch footing paint rule. We will not pick a trendy gray that fights an approved shingle.

Owner situation
Most owners notice stain failure in May: the south wall looks chalky, the stair treads are bare wood, and last year’s “we’ll do it in October” window is already under snow in the forecast. Second-home owners often have one dry month when they are actually in town. The decision is rarely “paint the whole house.” It is which elevations still have film build, which need a full recoat, and whether the association still recognizes last decade’s color.
How TR Tahoe handles it
We look at sun vs shade elevations, horizontal wear (stairs, rails, deck boards), and whether this is maintenance stain or a color change. The public homepage lists painting and deck/siding staining; the contact page files those jobs under Deck & Exterior. Licensed painting contractors are used when the job requires it. You get a quote before anyone opens a can. Photos of elevations — not a stock cedar cabin — are what make the quote honest.
Limits
We do not claim a C-33 license on this page. We will not promise a stain lasts a set number of years at 6,000-plus feet. Color changes in Tahoe Donner and many other associations need approval before work. Lead-safe rules apply on pre-1978 surfaces; that is a licensed-trade and testing question, not a weekend project. No invented after-photos.
Licensed-trade coordination
Plumbing and electrical are not published as Old Greenwood service lines. Committee review of roofs and colors is not evidence of those trades. Referral coordination after a look only.
Next step
Text (530) 448-1734 with the community, which walls see afternoon sun, and whether you need a color change or a recoat of what is already there. If you are in Tahoe Donner, say so — the CSO conversation is part of the job, not an afterthought.
