Does a Roof Change in Old Town Auburn, CA Need Historic Design Review?

What Auburn Roofs Actually Deal With

The City's own documents point to four things.

Historic Districts

Cool Roof Rules

Other Ways to Meet the Rule

The checklist lists other ways to meet the rule, such as ceiling insulation or a radiant barrier. Which one fits depends on your Auburn home. We talk it through at your free estimate. The City decides what applies.
