Tips

  • Unlike the general building permit application, the Re-Roof & Siding Pre-Application is a dedicated one-page form capturing existing/new roofing materials, layer count, felt weight, and siding type.
  • Book the mandatory pre-reroof inspection before ordering material or starting tear-off — same-day scheduling is not guaranteed.
  • A 15-lb or 30-lb felt weight must be specified on the application for the new roofing installation.
