Castle Pines Roof Replacements: Updated Building Codes

🏡 Thinking About Replacing Your Roof in Castle Pines?

🏠 Castle Pines Residential Roofing Requirements

Castle Pines homeowners face some of Colorado’s most intense weather—high winds, hailstorms, and rapid freeze-thaw cycles. Whether you’ve spotted shingle damage, a recent leak, or want to be proactive before storm season, it’s important to understand Castle Pines’ 2024 reroofing guidelines before starting your project.

🔍 What Are Castle Pines’ 2024 Roofing Requirements?

According to the City of Castle Pines Building Department, here are the most important details every homeowner should know:

✅ 1. You Need a Permit

A roofing permit is required for all reroofs or repairs exceeding 25% of your roof’s surface area. Most contractors will pull the permit for you, but it's the homeowner's responsibility to ensure it’s in place before work begins.

✅ 2. Shingles Must Meet Wind-Resistant Ratings

Approved asphalt shingles must meet one of the following standards:

• ASTM D-3161 (Class A, D, or F)

• ASTM D-7158 (Class G or H)

Inspectors will verify compliance by reviewing the shingle packaging for printed test data. Make sure your roofer doesn’t discard the packaging before inspection.

✅ 3. Drip Edge Installation Is Mandatory

Drip edge flashing is required on all eaves and rake edges. It must extend at least 2 inches onto the roof deck and help seal gaps between the fascia and decking to prevent water intrusion.

✅ 4. Roof Fasteners Must Meet Code

All roofing nails must:

• Penetrate completely through the underside of the roof sheathing

• Or embed at least ¾ inch into solid decking

Underdone or overdriven nails will fail inspection, so be sure your contractor follows these requirements closely.

✅ 5. Roof Valley Flashing Depends on Design

• Open Valleys must use metal flashing at least 24 inches wide made of corrosion-resistant material

• Closed Valleys require 36-inch smooth roll roofing or self-adhered polymer-modified bitumen underlayment

✅ 6. Mid-Roof Inspections Not Always Required

Mid-roof inspections are only required for tile and flat roof systems. If you're installing asphalt shingles, only a final inspection is needed.

✅ 7. Ice and Water Shield Not Required

Castle Pines does not require the use of an ice barrier or ice and water shield at eaves, unlike many other Colorado cities.

✅ 8. Your Roof Must Withstand 105 MPH Winds

All roofing installations must be designed to handle:

• 105 MPH wind speeds (3-second gusts)

• Wind Exposure Category B

This affects shingle type and fastening technique. Double-check that your roofing contractor is following this wind load requirement.
