Can't Get the Tulsa Roofing You Want Due to HOA By-Laws? Don't Worry

Colorado Springs Gazette columnist Bill Vogrin could never thank his neighbor Randy Murrish enough for his efforts in promoting safe roofing. Over the past several years, the fight to permit asphalt shingles into his neighborhood swung up and down like a wave. Their opponent was a homeowners association (HOA) that was more adamant about aesthetics than practicality. A series of wildfires in the state's history, namely the Buffalo Creek fire of 1996, compelled Vogrin to consider replacing his cedar shake roof with asphalt shingles. Murrish just happened to share his sentiments and helped him with his problem. Despite Murrish's efforts to convince the HOA, the association was resolute. Cedar shakes, take it or leave it.
