North Oaks Reroof Guide: HOA Approvals, Architectural Standards, and Approved Materials
3min Read
Posted 5.01.2026
North Oaks is the Twin Cities luxury suburb most defined by its private architectural standards. The North Oaks Home Owners Association maintains design review for every exterior change, including reroofs. Material choice, color blend, and supporting documentation all matter to whether a project gets approved on the first submission or sent back for revision.
I am Noah Bergland, co-owner of Owl Roofing in Shoreview. We install premium reroofs across North Oaks and handle the HOA submission package as part of every project. Below is the framework.
TL;DR
Bottom line: North Oaks reroofs typically run $80,000–$160,000 depending on home size and material. Synthetic slate (DaVinci or Brava) and synthetic shake (DaVinci Bellaforte Shake or Brava Cedar Shake) are the most-approved materials. The HOA review process takes 2–4 weeks and approves complete submissions on the first round about 80% of the time. Submit material spec sheets, color samples, and ideally photos of the same product approved elsewhere in North Oaks.
The North Oaks HOA approval process
North Oaks Home Owners Association reviews exterior changes through architectural review. The process focuses on whether the change maintains the architectural intent of the original construction.
Typical review timeline: 2–4 weeks from submission to decision.
What gets approved: synthetic slate (DaVinci, Brava), synthetic shake, natural slate, premium architectural asphalt with shake-look profile, standing seam metal in colors matching original.
What gets sent back: three-tab asphalt, vinyl-based products, materials that visibly depart from period-correct architecture for the home.
