Start with an honest inspection
Before anyone talks about a new roof, we get up there and look. We check shingle condition, granule loss, flashing at walls and chimneys, penetrations, valleys, ridge and eave venting, and the state of the decking where it can be seen from below.
You get a plain description of what we found, photos of the problem areas, and a recommendation. Sometimes that recommendation is a repair and a few more years, not a replacement.
