Replacing an entire roof over some miss colored shingles?!

Replacing an entire roof over some miss colored shingles?!

Investor · Tel Aviv, IL · Member since 2017 · 44 posts · 7 votes

According to the property manager, it is not possible to obtain tiles of similar color any more, so the entire roof must be replaced. That’s just not make sense, spending 6k$ because a 10 years roof(perfectly fine by house inspection company) have color discrepancy?!..

Does anybody faced this issue before? How should I solve it?

Thanks.

LOL, sorry, but this is one of those nightmare PM stories.  Trust your common sense.  Common sense still trumps someone trying to blind you with science - or legalese.  You'll find out her brother owns a roofing business.

    @Ofir R.

    If the roof is fine find shingles that are as close as you can.  If the shingles are on the backside replace them.  If it’s on the front you might be able to move shingles from the rear to the front.  Personally I would replace with a color that is close.  Don’t waste your money.  It’s easy to spend someone else’s money.  It’s only a suggestion.  Say no.

    Good Luck.

    This just sounds ridiculous. @Account Closed is 100% right.

    The others are right.  They can find ones that are a close match.

    Thanks all for the sincere replies! 

    I'll sure do consider the replacement of this PM.
    Can anyone recommend me on a good roofer around the area?

    Thanks!

    No disrespect, but they sound like they are trying to pull one over on you because they know you won't fly back to inspect. 

    Also, if you have a tenant that is demanding that the roof shingles be the exact same color.....well......they sound high maintenance.

    I know of a contractor named @Neal Mahoney that may be able to hook you up.
