Do I Need the Approval of the HOA for a New Roof?

In most cases, you are required to get the approval of your HOA before the start of a new roofing job. The reason for this is certain rules must be followed. If you know your roof needs replacement, check with HOA and go over the guidelines set.

Signs Your Roof May Need Replacing

The typical roof lasts from twenty to thirty years, but this is dependent on what materials were used and how well it was installed. If it is getting close to your roof’s anticipated life, it is time to think about replacing it. Here are some signs you can also be aware of which indicates a roof needs replacing:

• The shingle edges are beginning to curl up or the tabs of the shingles cupping
• Places, where shingles granules are gone, are creating bald spots or there may be granules in the gutters.
• Shingles are appearing broken or cracked.
• The entire roof looks worn out and aged.
• There appear to be darkened streaks created by algae.
• The roof’s surface has moss growing on it.
• Flashing is damaged or broken.
• Roof ventilation problems are creating ice damming.
• The ceilings and inside walls are becoming discolored.
• Unwanted pests are getting inside your home.
• You can see daylight through the boards on your roof.

Advantages of Replacing Your Roof In A Timely Manner

If HOA approval is needed to replace your roof, sometimes the project is delayed longer. Yet, it is not advisable to do this. If a roof sits in disrepair too long it can start to create damage to the structure of the home. Wood will begin to rot due to moisture problems and your utility bills will go up because air is escaping from the roof. These are only a few issues that can result from leaving a roof in a bad state.

The advantage to timely replacing a roof timely is this damage is discovered and dealt with before it escalates. Replacing a roof quickly will augment its performance, meaning no more “cold spots” within your home’s interior.

Lastly, the most important advantage (HOA will agree) is when you replace your roof on time it increases the curb appeal of your home. An aging roof will decrease the appearance of your home.
