Architectural

Replacing your Roof

Acceptable roof types include tile, lightweight concrete, wood shake, steel, aluminum, or a material that mimics shake or tile. Asphalt/composite shingle types are also acceptable. (See below.) The roofing material and color must also fit in with the general architectural style of the neighborhood, as determined by the ARC during the approval process.

All replacement roofs must have approval from the Architectural Review Committee prior to beginning installation.
No contractor has current or complete information on what kinds of roofs are approved or disapproved within Bollinger Hills. Do not assume any roof existing in the development is an approved type.

Guideline for Composition (Asphalt) Shingle Types

Composition roofs come in a wide variety, from very inexpensive thin shingles to heavyweight, tri-laminate roofs. In Bollinger Hills, we encourage (but not require) the installation high-end composition roofs. One of the guidelines we use to define a high-end composition shingle roof is that it weigh at least 350 lbs. / 100 sq. ft. Composition shingles that meet or exceed this specification include the following products:

  • CertainTeed Presidential Shake
  • CertainTeed Presidential Shake TL Ultimate
  • CertainTeed Carriage House Shangle
  • CertainTeed Grand Manor Shangle
  • GAF Grand Canyon
  • GAF Grand Sequoia
  • GAF Grand Slate
  • Owens Corning Woodcrest
High-end Heavyweight Shingle


450 lb. / 100 sq. ft.
