Is $2,500 to repair a roof leak and rusted nails a fair price?
Project Details
I had a contractor inspect my 22-year-old roof and found rusted nails and a leak near the chimney. They recommended a full replacement over a repair. I'm unsure if a full replacement is truly necessary or if the contractor is being dishonest, and I'm seeking advice on whether to replace with CertainTeed Landmark Pro asphalt shingles or just repair the chimney area.
