I live in the Seattle, WA area and am planning for a full roof replacement of my house this spring. Per my HOA’s guidance documents, they are requiring shingles weighing at least 360 pounds per square.

This seems quite high, personally, and is already heavier than the heaviest shingles provided by the five contractors from whom I have received estimates. I previously was planning to have a contractor install Owens Corning Trudefinion Duration shingles.

Is 360 pounds per square a reasonable requirement?

Should I push back on the HOA regarding this?

Is there a suggested shingle that would be affordable and meet this requirement?
