Need advice on replacing an old leaky roof

summitchessplayer · 2025-04-21T13:17:59Z

So my roof has finally decided it's had enough of life and started leaking in a couple spots during the last heavy rain. It's pretty old, probably 20+ years, so I guess it's about time. I'm not exactly swimming in cash right now, but I also don't want to cheap out and regret it later, you know? Anyone been through this recently and have suggestions on materials or contractors that are reliable but won't totally empty my wallet?

Had a similar issue myself—looked fine until we pulled shingles near the chimney flashing, then found rot underneath. Did you check if your attic insulation was affected at all? Moisture loves to hide there too...
