Keep in mind that roofers want to put on new roofs. If you ask them whether you need a new roof, most will say yes. I called a roof inspector (who used to be a roofer) and he went up, took photos, wrote me a report that included recommended repairs and where to get the materials for them, and charged me less than $200. A roofer had said I needed a roof and bid the job at $13,000. That was 5 years ago and my roof is doing fine.

I must have the most honest roofers on earth. Had a leak at the flashing, two roofing companies came out for bids and both told me I had ten years left on the roof and to just get a new flashing strip and some roofing tar, and one even showed me exactly where to overlay the new to stop the intrusion.
