Mine is only 13 years old and has a small leak already. I can't see the
back half of the roof from the ground, but the leak is in the middle,
not by the chimney flashing.

I watched them put it on and they did a good job. They used famous name
shingles, though I can't remember if it was Monsanto, 3M maybe.


Micky-

I agree that a pro roofer should be able to fix it.

Depending on your climate, it might last another ten years. Would that
satisfy you?

Instead of watching Judge Judy he could get up there himself. It should be
inspected once ever couple years anyway to catch things like vent boots
that are cracking, before they cause a leak and damage.
