Newton is a city of thirteen villages, and four of them — Auburndale, Chestnut Hill, Newtonville and Newton Upper Falls — are local historic districts where changing your roofing material triggers a commission review. Worth knowing before you choose shingles.

Roofs in Newton
Newton is famously a patchwork of thirteen villages — Auburndale, Chestnut Hill, Newton Centre, Newton Corner, Newton Highlands, Newton Lower Falls, Newton Upper Falls, Newtonville, Nonantum, Oak Hill, Thompsonville, Waban and West Newton. The housing in each is genuinely different, and so is the roof.
What we see on Newton roofs
This is the single most useful thing to know about roofing in Newton. In Auburndale, Chestnut Hill, Newtonville and Newton Upper Falls, exterior work is subject to historic district commission review if the proposed materials change. Straight maintenance in the same material is exempt.
Permits in Newton
Newton permits run through the City of Newton Inspectional Services Department, filed via its online portal. In the four local historic districts there may be a second step — a historic district commission review — if you are changing materials. We work out which applies before quoting, rather than discovering it halfway through. We hold Construction Supervisor License CS-118483 and HIC registration #204689.
