Roofing

Use of quality materials as specifically approved by the Committee is required. All materials and color selections shall be compatible with the community’s architectural character and be of colors in harmony with the other existing homes in the neighborhood or of colors similar to those originally employed in the neighborhood.

All roofs shall be covered with original quality or better shingles or lightweight tile as applicable in the protective covenants for that Filing and which are harmonious with the rest of the Filing; multi-dimensional and multi-layered asphalt products or other high quality materials (tile, slate, etc.) that have discernable width, depth, height and colors which are aged appropriate tones (e.g. weathered wood), typically in 50 year or greater warranty levels are approvable by the Committee.

The intent of this guideline is to allow for various roofing materials that maintain a dimensional and layered appearance which are compatible and complimentary with the architectural style of the home. Flat materials with no vertical relief and that are not multi-dimensional and multi-layered are prohibited.*

The Committee may eliminate approval of materials that had previously been allowed, provided that this elimination shall not affect such materials already approved and installed on existing roofs.

Roof materials shall be harmonious with the color and texture of other materials on the home and adjacent properties.

Homeowners who are considering the use of a low weight concrete tile are advised to seek the advice of a structural engineer in regard to the weight bearing capacity of their existing trusses.

*The Village-Filing #7, Morningside, and Overlook which were constructed originally with 3-tab shingles may be replaced with a similar material to the original, provided it is at least a 40 year asphalt shingle. These must still be approved on a case by case basis.
