Default Painting a roof?

I own a 1 family home that has flat roof. About 7 years ago I had new
top done...not familiar with names, but it was white. No problems with
leaks. Now i had a handy man checking something out on my gutter and he
looked at my roof and said something like it wasn't finished properly.
It needs to be painted. Then he show me what he meant by pointing to
another neighbors roof 3 houses away. He said its meant to reflect the
sun off the roof. He said the product cost about $90 and he would
charge me $225. Is it really necessary for that paint job and is the
price overstated?
