FAQs
What are factory-matched shingles?
Factory-matched shingles are roofing shingles sourced from the original manufacturer of your existing roof and produced to the same specifications—color blend, texture, size, and material composition. By using shingles that come from the same production line (or an approved current equivalent), we can seamlessly integrate new shingles with the old, maintaining a uniform look and performance.
Why is using factory-matched shingles important for roof repairs?
Using factory-matched shingles ensures visual consistency and preserves the roof’s structural integrity. Mismatched shingles can create patchy color differences, reduce curb appeal, and potentially void manufacturer warranties. Factory-matched repairs also maintain the roof’s original wind, impact, and fire ratings, giving you peace of mind that the repaired section will last as long as the rest of the roof.
Can factory-matched shingles be installed on any type of roof?
They are available for most asphalt shingle brands and profiles, including three-tab, architectural (laminate), and premium designer shingles. However, availability may depend on the age of your roof and whether the original shingle is still in production. When an exact match is discontinued, we work with the manufacturer to source the closest approved alternative or obtain archived inventory where possible.
How do you guarantee the new shingles will match the color of my existing roof?
Before starting the repair, we identify the exact shingle model, color code, and production lot if possible. We then procure sample bundles and place them on your roof to verify alignment in natural daylight. Because older shingles fade, we select the best possible factory batch and can blend new shingles across a wider area to create a uniform transition. This attention to detail virtually eliminates visible patchwork lines.
Will a factory-matched shingle repair affect my roof warranty or insurance coverage?
In most cases, no. When repairs are completed with shingles approved by the original manufacturer and installed according to their guidelines, your existing limited warranty remains intact for the repaired area. Insurance carriers also prefer factory-matched repairs because they restore the roof to its pre-loss condition. We provide all documentation—model numbers, lot codes, and installation photos—to ensure compliance.
How long does a factory-matched shingle repair take and what will it cost?
A typical repair section of 100–300 square feet can be completed in one day once materials are on hand. The timeline depends mainly on locating or ordering the factory-matched shingles, which can take 1–7 business days. Costs vary with roof pitch, access, and shingle grade, but most repairs range from $350 to $1,200.
