What Castle Pines requires, in plain language

Castle Pines builds to the 2021 IBC and 2021 IRC. That edition, not the newest code published nationally, is the rulebook an inspector in Douglas County holds your roof to.

Layer limit in Castle Pines: One layer. This is the line item that moves a bid the most. If your existing roof is already at the limit, the deck gets stripped before new material goes down, and the labor plus dump fees belong in the written price. Flat roof sections are capped at One layer.

Wind is what Castle Pines tests shingles against. Shingles need a 90 MPH sustained/ 110 MPH 3 second gusts rating. Rating is proven under D 3161.

Underlayment and edge metal are where roofs fail inspection. Ice and water shield: No. On 2:12 to 4:12 slopes: 19" laps of 15# asphalt saturated felt underlayment. On 4:12 and steeper: Single layer of 15# asphalt saturated felt underlayment. Drip edge: Yes.

Castle Pines publishes its adopted codes and inspection process in the building department FAQ. Inspections must be scheduled by 4 p.m. the prior business day.
