When you need this permit

  • No permit required for a roof repair under 100 sq ft
  • The Town is a designated high-wind region; all replaced roofs must meet high-wind criteria per ASTM D7158 Class G or H, or ASTM D3161 Class F, per the 2018 IRC wind-criteria requirement adopted June 2020
  • All roofs must carry a Class A fire rating; wood shakes/shingles are acceptable only as part of a Class A-rated assembly (e.g., DensDeck roof board per UL 790)
  • Ice-and-water shield required on all eaves (minimum one 3-foot-wide strip); drip edge required on eaves and rakes
  • New step flashing required at all sloped roof-to-wall intersections, with bump-out flashing where an eave meets a vertical wall; damaged or non-new flashings, valley metal, and vent covers must be replaced
  • Tile roofs replacing another roofing type require an engineer's report on structural load adequacy; a single roof overlay is allowed only with an engineer's report and code-compliant shingles
  • Low-slope roofs (2:12 to 4:12 pitch) require a double layer of underlayment felt per IRC R905.2.7, or a single layer of ice barrier across the entire slope plus 24 inches onto the adjacent slope
  • Tile roof repairs limited to matching style/size; wind damage to 15% of a slope requires replacing the entire slope including ridge and rake; wood shake/shingle roofs must be fully replaced if more than 10% of the roof or 25% of any slope needs repair; repairs are capped at an aggregate 25% of the roof before a full reroof is required
  • 'Woodruff' and similar composite shingles are no longer an approved covering and must be replaced, not repaired, upon damage
  • Roofing contractors must supply proof of Liability and Workers' Compensation insurance naming the Town of Superior as certificate holder Contractor
  • Properties within the Rock Creek Master Homeowners Association require separate HOA Architectural Request approval for roof replacement or repairs exceeding 25% of the roof

Tips

  • Unlike Lafayette (a neighboring Boulder County city in this corpus, which requires only a single final roof inspection), Superior requires BOTH a mid-roof inspection and a final inspection, and the contractor must supply a ladder for each.
  • Superior's Woodruff/composite-shingle ban means these must be replaced (not repaired) upon any damage — confirm the existing roofing material before scoping a repair job.
  • Rock Creek subdivision properties need a separate HOA Architectural Request approved on top of the Town permit for any roof replacement or repair exceeding 25% of the roof — factor in the HOA's own review timeline.
