ARC Guidelines – Roofing Materials and Accessories

Note: This is a draft transcription of the official ARC guidelines and may contain errors. 

Roofing materials used shall be of a premium grade. Wood shingles are strictly prohibited. A copy of the contractors quote showing the shingle type, age rating and color must accompany the application. An alternative to the contractors quote would be a 2″X2″ square sample of the shingle submitted with the application.

Material:

The proposed shingles shall be of an acceptable type, quality and color that are harmonious with the residence and applicable to that specific neighborhood. Shingles shall have a minimum 25-year warranty and be hurricane designed (110 MPH rating) or that as required by League City, whatever is more stringent.

Accessories:

All roof protrusions, including but not limited to skylights, roof ventilations or similar types of additions, require prior written approval by the ARC and must be located to the rear of the ridgeline and/or gable of any structure and shall not extend above the highest point of the structure. All roofing additions, if any, must match the roofing material and/or color as closely as possible or be harmonious with the color of roofing materials. The ARC shall have the right to approve exceptions to the foregoing in cases where energy conservation and heating/cooling efficiency require ventilators that, because of a particular roof design, cannot be hidden from public view.
