Wimberley roof installation
Coordinate roof drainage with the building site

Read the official guidance →What should I check before roof installation in Wimberley?
Ask the builder to identify where each roof section drains and whether water will discharge to the site or enter a collection system. Treat rainwater use as an explicit design choice rather than an assumption attached to a material selection. Assign the boundary between roofing and downstream collection equipment in writing before either installer finalizes the work.

Local review for Wimberley
Start with the applicable property and roof conditions
Wimberley requires site-plan review for residential construction on slopes over 15 percent. That threshold concerns the site slope, not the roof pitch. Confirm how it applies to the proposed construction.
Questions to settle in the written scope
Use the inspection and project plans to make the proposed work specific.
Document the condition or design
If harvesting is planned, coordinate roof and gutter design with the system designer. The Department of Energy notes that new construction is an opportunity to integrate collection rather than retrofit it later.
Define the work and approval points
The roofing scope should show planned outlets, transitions and any future collection connections. Confirm responsibility for the downstream system so roof completion does not imply that storage, filtration or treatment is included.
Review the proposal on its merits
Ask Lapeyre Roofing to explain the recommendation for your property and identify any decision that still needs an inspection or design review.
A scope you can compare
Request named materials, included roof sections and clear exclusions before comparing the price.
Coordinate roof drainage with the building site
A new roof and a rainwater system share a collection boundary, but they are separate scopes. Ask where the roofer's work ends and where the collection-system installer's work begins. The plans should identify that connection before gutters or outlets are installed. If harvesting is only a future possibility, ask which decisions need to be made now and which can wait. This avoids paying for equipment that was never intended or discovering that a finished roof needs alteration to serve the planned system.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the 15 percent threshold describe roof pitch?
No. Wimberley's construction page describes residential construction on sloping sites, not a minimum or maximum roof pitch.
Should harvesting be discussed before a first roof is installed?
Yes, when it is part of the project. The roof and gutter arrangement can then coordinate with the collection design.
Does a roof quote include water treatment?
Only if explicitly stated. Storage, filtration and treatment need their own defined scope.
What if I do not plan to collect rainwater?
The roof still needs a clear discharge route coordinated with the site plan and adjoining construction.
