Living in an HOA (homeowner’s association) community offers many benefits–but it also comes with strict guidelines and limitations on any home improvement projects you want to be done. These include roof replacement. Before you start this upgrade, you’ll want to seek approval from your HOA. The trusted roofing and gutters company in the area, Roofmasters Roofing and Sheet Metal Company, Inc, expounds on this here.
This will depend on the HOA you have in your area. There are communities where the HOA handles most of the aspects of the roof replacement and you only need to fund the project. But most of the time, it’s the homeowner’s responsibility and they’ll have to start the pre-approval process so the project can be greenlit.
Roof replacement is a major undertaking that not only affects the look of your home, but also the neighboring houses. One of the functions of the HOA is to ensure that the community looks cohesive and aesthetically pleasing–with the goal of maintaining property values. To prevent your roof replacement from negatively impacting the overall appearance of the neighborhood, the HOA has covenants, conditions and restrictions (CC&Rs) in place to guide homeowners on what acceptable roofing materials, designs, and colors can be used for the project. This may not even be limited to the roofing system alone. Since gutter replacement is usually part of a new roof installation, the CC&Rs may have also set a few rules about it.
You should know that adhering to HOA rules and guidelines isn’t optional. The CC&Rs are legally binding and you can be penalized for not following them. Make sure to seek approval from the HOA before starting a roof replacement. You can increase your chances by:
