The homeowner
Gets the current rules, defines the proposed work, completes the submission, pays required fees, answers follow-up questions, and obtains written approval.
Residential approval support
Plan Your HOA or ARC Submission
Many associations require review before an exterior screen is installed. Fortress can provide factual product and project information for your request, but your association sets the process and makes the final decision.
Clear responsibilities
Know who controls each part.
A clean submission begins with a clear division of responsibility. Fortress supports the homeowner with documented facts. The association keeps control of its review.
Fortress Screens
Provides factual product, certification, color, appearance, and project information when available and relevant to the association's checklist.
The association or ARC
Sets its application requirements, fees, meeting schedule, conditions, and final approval decision.
Review-ready packet
Show exactly what will change.
Use your association's checklist as the authority. These five categories cover the information commonly needed to describe a Fortress Screens project clearly.
Define your project with Fortress →The current application
Use the form supplied by your association and include the homeowner, property, contractor, and proposed-work details it requests.
A marked opening scope
Identify each window, door, slider, lanai, or other opening in the project. Marked property or elevation photographs can make the scope easier to review.
Product documentation
Include the stainless steel mesh, structural aluminum frame, Florida Building Code approvals, NAMI certifications, and attachment information relevant to the proposed installation.
Color and appearance
Name the proposed frame color and include photographs or samples that show how completed Fortress Screens look on a residential property.
Project-specific items
Add measurements, drawings, permits, engineering, contractor credentials, neighbor notices, or other material only when the association or project requires it.
Fortress support material
Document the product and the proposed work.
Fortress can help assemble factual support for a homeowner submission. The exact material depends on the project and the association's current checklist.

Association rules vary. A clear packet can make the proposed change easier to evaluate, but it cannot replace the association's process.
- Fortress does not control the association's requirements, timeline, fees, conditions, or final decision.
- Product documentation does not create blanket community approval or guarantee project compliance.
- No property-value, insurance, financing, discount, or community-wide outcome is implied by this guidance.
- Do not treat silence or an informal conversation as written approval.
