Default Should I demand a new roof...?

Since I moved in to new home in 2004, we have had roof shingle problems
every year. First year some blew off, many loose. Since then we have had
loose shingles everytime there is a storm. Yet the winds are not that
high in my opinion, say 40mph gusts.

Today, we had a storm and now I can see a dozen or so loose shingles
flapping up and down. Last year I was told it was last time they would
repair the shingles on my roof. The forman and all but said the shingles
are a bad batch as the same is happening to other homes where the roofs
were put up around the same time as mine. So should I push for a complete
new roof?

Thanks,

might want to see how much it would cost to have the whole thing done with
seamed steel... end your roof problems forever... (there's a reason you
see so many houses in rural/hilly/windy areas with steel roofs...)

I just got my roof (1 story, 29 sqrs, 5/6 pitch, 30 year shingle) for $8k.

A metal roof costs $28k.

For most people a $28k roof is not an option.
