My house has a new barrel tiled roof put on in 2004. At the time
the previous owner paid $40000 for the new roof.

Since then a few tiles (about six) were damaged badly and I need to
replace them. I called around and found that the tiles are still
being manufactured but the specific color has been discontinued.
The tiles are called Vanguarf Roll:

I finally located the roofer who installed the roof and he told me
he did a few jobs with that tile in 2004 and still have lots of
left over tiles. In fact he said he has a whole pallate of it,
like 500 pieces. He asked me if I want to buy it form him. I told
him I needed 10-12 pieces but he was not interested to sell me
10-12.

He said if I get another hurricane it would be wise to get as many
tiles as I can, but do I really need 500 pieces? This will take up
a good part of my garage. He said to give him a price...now I am
wondering first, should I get it and if so, how much should it be?

When I did my roof in 1996 I used Monier - 70 squares (7,000 sq.ft.)
at about $6,000.

If not I can always order the 10-12 I need in another color and try
to stain it to match.

1. I doubt staining would work

2. Have you checked with Monier in other parts of the country for the
color you need? Just because it is discontinued in Florida doesn't
mean it has been elsewhere. Hawaii might be a good starting point...
