Why roof coatings are usually simple
Flat roofs on pueblo-style homes are hidden behind parapets. A white coating doesn't change the look of the house from the road. Many associations treat recoating as normal maintenance.
When rules can apply
- Roofs visible from roads or neighbors uphill
- Coating carried over parapet caps
- Rules on reflective or bright surfaces
- Work hours, noise and equipment parking
- Dark-sky or lighting rules for any lighting changes
How to handle it
- Read your covenants or design guidelines
- Ask the architectural committee if approval is needed
- Submit product name, color and a short description of the work
- Allow time for the review before scheduling
Visible roofs
If part of your roof can be seen and white isn't allowed, light earth-tone coatings are available. They reflect less than white but more than dark surfaces.
