A new roofing system will elevate your home’s visual appeal and protection against the elements. When planning a roof replacement project, you need to consider various factors aside from material, style, and color. If you live in a community with a homeowners association, you will likely need to seek approval from the board before making changes to your home, including roof replacement.
Continue reading to find out of your homeowners association has a say on the color of your roof.
Do You Need Approval for Your New Roof’s Color?
To determine if you need to get approval for your roofing project, read your homeowners association’s covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&R’s). You likely received a copy of your CC&R’s when you purchased your property.
Make sure you have the latest copy on hand because your board may have updated them recently. If you have any questions, be sure to consult the board. The last thing you want to do is replace your roof only to find out the color you chose is not permitted.
Ask Your Board to Be Sure
Even if you work with a roofing contractor with experience in HOAs, it will still help to ask your board’s office if they have pre-approved roof colors or if you can go for any hue you prefer. You should also ask if there are colors they can recommend. Even if you choose a pre-approved roof color, you might not get approval if it is the same color as the house next to yours.
When selecting colors, go for one that can increase your home’s appeal and allow you to express your personality. While you want your home to stand out, you want to ensure it does so for the right reasons.
