It is important to have your roof assessed by a professional. A professional roofer goes up on roofs daily and has the training to climb up safely to make an educated, knowledgeable assessment.
Any work that you are having done on your roof, either replacement or repair, should be done by a properly licensed and insured roofer.

A quality roof does not go up in a day. Speak to your roofer about the expected time frame.
Be sure to get warranty coverage for insurance and future maintenance.
