Need a New Roof?

The roof is to be either cedar or pine shakes or shingles, or clay tile. Shakes or shingles must be natural earthtone colours, and tiles should be terra cotta, grey, or brown, not blue or green.

Other roof finishes and colours will be considered if it can be shown by the applicant that these are in keeping with the overall objectives of the Design Guidelines.

All roof stacks, flashings, etc., are to be painted out to match roof colour. All fascia board ends are to be cut within 10 degrees of vertical and are to be a minimum of 6" deep. Rain-water leaders, eavestroughs and fascias should match the trim colour as selected, where possible.

Soffits are to be prefinished metal on houses with vinyl or aluminum siding. On houses with wooden siding, soffits can be metal or wood. Overhangs on upper levels are recommended to be 1'-0" to 1'-6", and on lower levels are to be 2'-0".
