Is $3,000 to repair a leaky chimney area on a slate roof a fair price?
Project Details
My house has a slate roof and is 90 years old, with questionable past repairs. I recently noticed a leak. I'm asking if this price is reasonable, what I should expect in the estimate, and how to approach this. The company has decent 4+ star reviews on Google and a history of roof repairs/insurance. I have reposted with photos.

This quote is for repairing a roof leak around the chimney area. The issue is believed to be caused by faulty step flashing. - Repair Area: Around the chimney corners - Existing Damage: Water getting inside the attic, some wood rot - Proposed Cause: Step flashing issue - Included Work: Replacement of new shingles, wood, and step flashing in the affected area - Alternative Theory (Homeowner's Note): One roofer suggested water could be coming through corner boards of the siding, but I do not believe this is the case as other homes in the neighborhood are similar.
