Santiago was built mostly between 1999 and 2001 around what is now the El Santiago Recreation Center and the El Santiago executive golf course. Homes here are about 25 years old, and District 2 handles color changes a little differently from some other districts. We help you with both the paint and the paperwork.
The Village of Santiago sits in Community Development District 2 on the Sumter County side, north of County Road 466, in the Spanish Springs area. Its landmark is the El Santiago Recreation Center at 2375 Enrique Drive. The current 7,600-square-foot building opened in December 2015, replacing the El Santiago Club that was a popular spot in the 1990s. The El Santiago executive course is part of the village too.
Most homes were built between 1999 and 2001. That is a fairly tight window, so many houses on a street share similar wear: the same sides fade first, and the same details, like garage doors and fascia, tend to need attention at the same time.
Reporting from 2020 found that District 2, which covers villages such as Santiago and Santo Domingo, had no pre-approved color palette. Under that arrangement, repainting in the home’s original color is fine, but any new color needs an Architectural Review Application before work begins. District deed restrictions also allow fines for repeat violations, so it pays to get this right.
Rules can change, so we do not assume. Before we quote a new color, we help you check the current District 2 rule through Community Standards at districtgov.org or (352) 751-3912, and we can handle the application paperwork with you. If you would rather keep the original color, we help you confirm what that color is.
Homes built around 2000 are past their first life of paint. Here is what the job usually covers.
Mildew and chalk come off first, which also makes cracks and soft spots easier to see.
Cracks are opened, filled and blended so they do not show through the finish coat.
Windows, doors and trim joints are re-caulked and the edges taped for clean lines.
Santiago repaints get two full coats, seven years of peel-and-chip coverage in writing, and a check-in call once the first year has passed.
What Santiago homeowners usually want to know before we start.
Call before you choose, and we will check the District 2 rule with you.
