Just get a new roof. What's the problem?
If it's 10 - 15 years old, it's due to be replaced anyhow.

If it's due at 15, then it's not due at 10. Right?

And some roofs last until 20 and the new make of shingles are rated to
last 5 years longer than my old style roof that lasted 20.

Some people aren't made of money.

Here in the NYC area we have had continuous rain for about the past 6-7
days. Just to give you an idea, on the radio this morning they said the
last time we got this much rain was back in 1913.
Anyway, a leak in my kitchen ceiling prompted me to go into the attic
to find where the roof was leaking. While I did find the spot, I could
not find anywhere on the roof that would lead me to believe there was a
problem. This is a regular sloped asphalt shingle roof about 10-15
years old which was put on top of the existing roof.
I've never had leaks before, this is the first time I noticed a
problem. Is it normal to get leaks during prolonged heavy rain with a
NE wind? Also, could the leak be actually coming from someplace else on
the roof and traveling to the spot I see in the attic?
