Tips

  • A re-roof in Gilcrest is billed as a flat $60.00 fee, not a valuation-based fee — one of the simplest and least expensive permit types the Town offers.
  • No more than two layers of roofing are allowed upon completion — if your roof already has two layers or is deteriorated/wood shake/tile, a full tear-off to the deck is required per IRC R908.3.
  • If your neighborhood has an HOA, the Town's own guide advises contacting them before changing roof covering materials, separate from the municipal permit process.
