Covenant Questions - Roof Constraints?



Mary asked:
Do the covenants limit what sort of roof we can install?  Can I put up a black roof?
The answer after the jump...

In Article IV of the covenants, we have the following:
Section 25​. Roofs​. The roof of each Residence shall be covered with asphalt or composition type shingles of 250 pounds or heavier weight or a comparable shingle that approximates the color of weathered wood shingles.
While those materials are pretty specific, the appearance one is a bit vague, in my opinion, but as you can see in the picture above, just about every shingle maker has a "weathered wood" option.

But it sounds like a black roof would not be an option.  Sorry, Mary.
