In April of 2001 the Parkside membership and Board voted to amend the section 3.6.18 “Roofs” of the CCRE&Rs. In August of 2009, Parkside homeowners voted approval, with a majority of greater than 70%, to allow the use of premium fiberglass-based asphalt shingles that provide a dimensional thickness that enhances the rough-hewn, random-cut appearance, texture and profile of classic wooden shakes. The specific roofing product that was approved is called Armourshake in the color of Chalet Wood. This product is made by IKO www.iko.com. The desire to have a Class A fire resistant roof, reduced maintenance costs, and a longer life were the principle factors in voting the approval to use a product other than wooden cedar shakes.
Although other non wooden cedar shake products may be acceptable, Board approval is required prior to any homeowner replacing his or her wooden cedar shake roof with a product other than wooden cedar shakes or Armourshake in the color of Chalet Wood.
In 2010 the Board added Pabco’s Paramount Advantage to the list of approved roofing materials. All roofs should conform to the color restrictions of brown, grey, or black.
In 2023 the Board added Malarkey’s Windsor to the list of approved roofing materials.
