just when everything is coming together to run well ...  Dick, do you think charging the shingle manufacturer $400 to fix it is fair or not enough? (just the dark section before the wall) the area beyond is ok. |

It's clearly a mixed color lot. If it costs that much to fix it, the one who's responsible for it should pay, and I'd say that it isn't you. I'd show it to the homeowner to see how loud he squawks. If he isn't too loud, you might get the manufacturer to offer him a discount and leave it alone. Chances are the owner won't accept it but it's worth a try.

 It's my name on the roof and I can't have it on public display like this regardless of the homeowner. I've already secured his trust and this job.  It's the one just down the road I haven't booked yet. ;D

Can't blame you there. The question, though, is whether the light ones or the dark ones are the bad ones. If you get new ones and they match the dark ones, the repair is much larger.

Dick, it's sucky work buy I'm hoping I can move some of the shingles around and 'blend' the two shades so that there isn't such a noticable line. I'll see where this is going today as hopefully we will finish it. |

I wish I had a photo of a house that was next door to one we did a few years ago. It was an OLD house, closer to a shack than a house. Apparently the guy had gone to every lumber yard in 3 states and bought out their boneyards. The roof must have had 15 different colors on it, all mixed up. It wasn't nearly as attractive as it sounds.

I covered a tobacco house for a farmer years ago and used shingles from my leftovers. I think there were 8 or 9 colors in a mix of architech and 3 tab shingles.
It looked so bad I wished I hadn't done it even though it couldn't be easily seen. ;D
