Default Roof shingle damage

Apparently to replace your roof you need ARC approval. How the heck is the ARC committee going to approve hundreds of requests in addition to all the other submissions they have???

If you are repairing your roof and you can not find shingle that are an exact match is that going to be acceptable??? Will we have a bunch of roofs with patchwork?

Most insurance companies are not going to pay for a new roof replacement unless you have extensive damage.

The ARC should put out a statement that if you are replacing your shingles with ones that are similar and a color that is in line with other colors in the Villages you need not get ARC approval. With all the damages in Florida the color selection will be limited.

Any thoughts? I wonder if anyone on the ARC reads these posts.

Unless your house was built yesterday you will not get a match. Sun and weather fades the colors so any patching will be a slightly different color. Depending on where it is on your roof....who cares?

I agree but I am thinking that the ARC might care and possibly some of your neighbors. You know how fickle some people can be when it is not them.

If you were a member of the ARC committee, would you waste your time reading people’s nonsense on TOTV? 😁

ARC has always had the policy if you use like color products, no approval needed. Its in their room of colors and shingles.

You can actually walk out the color or shingle, and ask.

I however would still file ARC so in writing Approval.

Even different batches have slightly different coloring.

"Bless their little hearts"? Rather than sneering at blue collar workers, one might repair their own problems.

In most cases go onto the warranty website and you can get the manufacturer and color of your shingles.
Insurance companies will pay for wind damage repairs but your deductible comes into play. Some roofing companies want to do an entire replacement so the bid will cover your deductible.

it's actually spelled out in your CDD docs. Some do some don't. For the most part, most (I think Sumter on south) do not need to IF it's same /same. The authorization currently exists in the docs to "return the property to the state it was in before the damage" .

I am not a roofing professional therefore, I would prefer to not repair my own roof. Similar to the tooth extraction I recently needed - going to a professional seemed a better choice than performing my own dental surgery.

$100 - $150 PER SHINGLE (two quotes) to replace eight shingles feels a bit like price gouging to me.

(note: not my home so I don't know which companies provided that quote. Homeowner did decide to make the repairs himself for about $7/shingle)

Here is what you can do:

"Violators face penalties of up to $1,000 per infraction and up to $25,000 for multiple violations within 24 hours. Residents can report suspected price gouging by calling 1-866-9NO-SCAM or visiting MyFloridaLegal.com. Local officials are also joining the fight against exploitation."
