12. Metal Roofs: New metal roofing is acceptable provided that the new metal roof is metal

April 29, 2026 Historic Preservation Board · 2026-04-29 · agenda_item

The City of Mount Dora Historic Preservation Board is considering new guidelines for metal roofs on historic properties. The proposal states that new metal roofs will be acceptable if they are metal shingle or standing seam with concealed fasteners. Standing seam roofs in earthy or muted colors that match the district's existing roof colors are preferred over highly reflective galvalume. This item is currently under review by the board. If approved, this could lead to work involving roofing contractors specializing in metal installation and suppliers of compatible roofing materials. Early engagement with the board and city planning staff could provide insight into specific material requirements and aesthetic preferences, offering an advantage to businesses seeking to supply or install these approved roofing types.
