THOUSAND OAKS INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
What you need to know before you start your new home roof installation project through building permits and inspections for Thousand Oaks, CA (Conejo Valley):
Roofing in Thousand Oaks (including Newbury Park, Oak Park, and some areas of Westlake, Agoura and Lake Sherwood), whether for a residential home or commercial building, will require a permit for the roofing project from the proper government entity and associated inspections. For roofing in Conejo Valley, you either have to work with the City of Thousand Oaks, or if you live outside city limits and in county unincorporated territory, the County of Ventura. Permitting through each goes through Building and Safety, and while each city may have differing minimum requirements regarding types of roof installations, they ultimately follow California’s uniform building code. Moreover, all projects must be Title 24 compliant, which typically means they need to have a Solaris product (or equivalent cool roof material) installed to meet energy efficiency standards.
There are a few quick things to consider for roofing in Thousand Oaks (Conejo Valley). For instance, if you are part of a homeowners association there may be significant restrictions on the particular roofing product or roof shingle color allowed by the association. These restrictions are often strict, requiring only “Natural colors” and may specifically mandate the use of a tan coating instead of white, and explicitly prohibit colors like “Moire black” or anything containing the word black. This is not a governmental regulation but a limitation, nonetheless. If you live outside of the city limits in the Ventura County unincorporated territory, such as parts of Newbury Park or Lake Sherwood, or even a bit further east, like Oak Park, you will want to contact the Building and Safety Division of the County of Ventura at 805-654-2771 or visit Ventura County Building and Safety. For additional information for roofing projects within the city limits of Thousand Oaks (Conejo Valley), you may want to contact Thousand Oaks Building and Safety online or by phone at 805-449-2575.

REVIEWS
WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING
Tim and Brandon sent updates at every step including pictures of their work in real time.
We are very pleased and have contracted them for another property.
Highly recommend.
The price was great (as much as it can be for a roof, no small purchase), and the crew was really fantastic. They were professional and got the work done quickly. They had to put sheathing on my roof, since it’s old and didn’t have any underneath (!), and the whole project still only took 4 days.
For me, the best thing was that the crew cleaned up every day. The yard was clear, and there were no nails or debris hanging around. It’s a little thing that was really nice to see— it was really nice to go outside in the afternoon and not worry about stepping on anything/ having that peace to move around in the middle of a project.
I’d recommend this company to anyone.
This company is a class act and I am so pleased to have picked GreatWay Roofing who kept me informed thru email and sent photos as the project was moving ahead.
Great customer service, knowledgeable courteous workers and a satisfied customer says it all
