Tips
- Roofing over 100 sq ft requires a permit in Gillette — small repair patches under that threshold generally do not.
- Gillette's residential reroof permit fee is a flat $10.
- Roof recover (installing new roofing over existing) without full tear-off is allowed under specific IRC conditions (e.g., manufacturer-approved recover systems, standing-seam metal roofs) — but is NOT allowed if the existing roof is water-soaked/deteriorated, is slate/clay/cement/asbestos-cement tile, or already has two or more layers of roof covering.
