Is it just literally impossible to identify shingles? Need to fix this and people keep telling me I have "GAF timberline weathered wood" but that feels obviously wrong. I can almost buy that weathered wood fades to look like my shingles but very clearly all the lines on my shingles are perpendicular whereas every common shingle brand I check has some at odd angles
Good chance your particular product was discontinued years ago, especially if your roof is old/beat enough to warrant replacing a couple shingles. I had to replace a few pieces of vinyl siding once and tracking it down was nearly impossible because the original manufacturer had gone under. This was on an 11 year old house.
Here's a suggestion if you're not going to reshingle the whole roof: buy whatever matches best, carefully remove a good shingle from a less visible part of your house, install the new shingle, and install the "graft" shingle in the problem spot. But, it's likely this won't work because the shingle you take up will be too brittle to withstand removal and re-installation.
I know the roof is >5 years old as it was before the previous owner moved in, but still feels good and sturdy. This is a garage that isn't very visible from the street so I guess I'll probably go with the Birchwood color of timberline. The grafting idea is definitely interesting so TY for the suggestion just probably not worth it for this part of the property
No idea if I'm just super misunderstanding how the weathered wood color would fade because I still think the people saying that's the match are crazy
You aren't going to get a perfect match with old shingles. They fade over time and the new ones will be more vibrant than the old. Are there granules in your gutters? Also why did they put such a long lap over the drip edge?
Tons of shit got discontinued or went under around coof. Just had an extension put on and the roofer was giddy over getting a perfect match. Couldn't shut up about it, so I assume it's pretty rare.
It's the coof messing with my roof?
Coof make roof stoof go poof
Make a man say Oof!
Seems like a goof but it’s the troof
Look, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with homosexuality. But do we all have to watch your foreplay?
Had enoof?
If you're wise you'll cut down every tree in falling range of that structure before they inevitably overgrow and force the issue.
Looks like a tree branch, hope that helps.
>oh no, the spot that got fricked by an ent will now be a slightly different colour.
>My house is ruined!
Old shingles are old. I'd scab patch that shit with generous use of roofing cement and leave it until the old roof is fully ready along with your wallet for replacement.
Then be smart and use standing seam Galvalume metal roofing instead of delicate junk shingles.
This anon knows, Galvalume standing seam is hands down the best you can get.
For centuries people with even miniscule foresight kept extra shingles/tiles/etc exactly for these situations.
My dad did that. He was so proud when a found the stack in the basement 25 years after the roof was installed. He went up, replaced the shingle (that he had damaged while cleaning the gutters) and quickly discovered that is was a lot darker than the rest and stuck out like a sore thumb.
This is exactly why I leave my extra shingles outside spread out strategically around my yard, just in case
Shingle'd. You have to expose them of course.
First world problems. Clearly you have major self-esteem issues if this bothers you.
Yes, clearly
>lines on my shingles are perpendicular
Are you getting confused with 3 tab vs architectural shingles?
