01VILLA RENOVATION
Sun, sand and humidity are hard on villa exteriors. Cracked render, faded paint, failing window seals and weathered doors make a house look older than it is — and the facade is the one part of a villa where the community has the strongest say.

Exterior paint must be a system rated for UV and heat, applied over a properly prepared and primed surface. Most master communities restrict exterior colours to an approved palette, so the colour is chosen from that list.
Replacing windows can improve comfort and cooling bills considerably, especially where original single-glazed or poorly sealed units remain. New frames must usually match the community's approved style and colour, and changes to opening sizes need approval. The main entrance door is a high-impact change that many owners make alongside exterior painting.
Outdoor work in Dubai is restricted during the hottest part of summer days, and paint and render behave differently in high temperatures. Exterior projects are easiest to schedule in the cooler months. Scaffolding, neighbour notice and community approvals also take time to arrange.
