That's a pretty emphatic no, but you're taking a guess at his code, aren't you? Jeff, I believe you're in MA - this link takes you to the MA Building Code page on roof coverings: http://www.mass.gov/bbrs/780CMR_Ch3609.pdf Wood shakes and shingles are allowed as per the code, with specific installation requirements, and a minimum allowable pitch of 3/12 over 15# building paper (I wouldn't go that low - your 4/12 over Ice & Water Shield is far better). This from the first page: "3609.1.3 Roofing covering materials: Roofs shall be covered with materials as set forth in 780 CMR |
