Tips

  • If your existing roof already has two layers of roofing material, Firestone requires full tear-off — a re-cover/overlay is not permitted at that point (IRC R908.3.1.1).
  • The Mid-Roof inspection must occur before more than 25% of the roof is complete — schedule it early rather than waiting until the job is mostly done, or you risk having to expose completed sections for the inspector.
  • Shingle or siding repairs under 100 sq ft (one square) per building are exempt from a permit entirely, per the Town's own amendment to IBC 105.2 — useful for small patch repairs.
