Don’t let mismatched shingles lower your home’s value

Take advantage of your insurance coverage for a full roof replacement! 

If you've been dealing with mismatched shingles, now is the perfect time to explore the possibility of getting your entire roof replaced through your insurance company. Mismatched shingles appear in stark contrast against uniform shingles. The shingles may be a different color or style, which leaves the roof looking uneven. They are typically the result of storm damage and small repairs over the years. This is more than just an aesthetic issue, it can impact the structural integrity of your roof, leaving your home vulnerable to further damage. Many homeowners aren’t aware that their policy could cover a full roof replacement due to mismatched shingles. This fact could save you thousands of dollars and prevent you from having to replace your roof in the near future. Experts from Mr. Roofing have prepared a guide to all the possible benefits for considering mismatched shingle insurance.  

Sometimes, manufacturing companies will discontinue various colors and styles of shingles. Brands may go out of stock or disappear altogether. When it comes time to do a repair on the roof, the right shingles may not be available and cannot be sourced. This is more likely to occur with older roofs. If your roof has not been replaced previously, a shingle match may be harder to find.   

When shingles don’t match, it might violate local building codes or reduce the value of your home. Fortunately, many insurance companies in the area recognize this and cover the cost of replacing the entire roof. Understanding the process can help you maximize your coverage. 

Replacing mismatched shingles with a full roof replacement can significantly boost your home's value by improving its curb appeal. By using your insurance coverage for the replacement, you can save thousands of dollars, making it a cost-effective investment in the long run.
