Carpinteria contractor seeks board feedback on metal reroof for 4337 Carpinteria Avenue
Summary
Owners and contractor described urgent waterproofing and a proposed material change from mission tile to a dark‑bronze standing‑seam aluminum roof; board offered informal support and asked staff to review details of edges and gutters.
Carpinteria Architectural Review Board members heard a presentation and applicant comments on a reroof project at 4337 Carpinteria Avenue during the Sept. 25 meeting.
The property owner and contractor said the tiled front roof was failing and had been removed for safety and to address urgent waterproofing. Contractor Tom Curry of Tom Curry Roofing and Waterproofing Inc. told the board the building’s flat roofs have been made watertight in an earlier phase and that the second phase would replace the remaining mission tile on the two‑story front with a 24‑gauge, 12‑inch on‑center standing‑seam aluminum roof with a 1.5‑inch seam height in a dark‑bronze finish.
Curry said the work is maintenance‑driven, not a comprehensive exterior remodel, and that aluminum was chosen for corrosion resistance close to the ocean. Owner Billy Gould, whose company occupies the site, said the building suffered extensive dry rot and water intrusion and that the reroof is part of finishing structural repairs and improving climate control inside the warehouse and offices.
Board members generally described the metal roof as an appropriate maintenance upgrade. Board member Johnson asked staff to review and report back on details such as rake and drip‑edge treatment, gutters and downspouts, and how the new finish would relate to window trim. Curry described planned rake metal and copper gutters in the presentation and said the copper patina would be sympathetic to the proposed dark‑bronze metal roof.
No formal action was required: the item was presented as “matters by staff” and the board provided feedback for the applicants and the staff plan‑check process. Staff said a building permit will be required before the metal roof installation proceeds and that final details will be checked at plan check.
