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.
