Curb Numbers

Have any other associations considered having their curb address numbers painted on a group basis? It can often be vital especially for 911 headlights and I know a lot of condo associations like mine have community mailboxes so there's no mailbox numbers out by the road. There's companies online that advertise it to him just about anywhere in the US if they're big enough highly discounted and there's one that even offers an option to let the individual residences sign up at a discount. It's really a service that has to be solicited neighborhood by neighborhood because it's cost prohibitive to drive across town for one house. Thanks for your input

While I am not against your idea, I think I would first speak with the EMS for your community and see if there are better options they would prefer.

It sounds to me your issue with GPS is your streets may be private vs dedicated and the addresses in a GPS data base. My thoughts were to spend a bit more money and put reflective address placards on the buildings.

Thank you so much Sheila and Dean for all the perspectives. Seems the disadvantage would be having to repaint and the advantage is proximity to the street, esp 911 headlight at night when they get most of their calls. Mildew is the determining factor in longevity in having to repaint. I've seen some in new neighborhoods that look like new after 10 years and others in areas with many trees dropping acorns and pine cones that struggle to last a year or two. Since HOAs mostly started just a few decades ago it seems most would have little mildew. Homeowners can also pressure wash or simply pour bleach on the day before painting. One company offers to do all or just those in the HOA who sign up, both ways at discounts because it saves them from having to hang fliers on all the doors.

Then yes they have spotlights but of course they rather not use them in the middle of the night if they don't have to. House on numbers and any numbers are also obscured by rain and even more so because there's more distance from the driver to the numbers. You do have a point with leaves covering it but that depends a lot on the curb layout and how many trees there are. And being said curb numbers can be more advantageous than any other kind of numbers in certain situations.
So why not let the association take advantage of their role and get the curb numbers at a substantial discount? Whether they pay for all of them or send an email to the residente offering them to sign up at a discount.
As I said it's a service which must be solicited neighborhood by neighborhood because it's way too cost expensive for the travel for one job and that's where the associations can play a major role.
