Get a written quoteSubdivisions from this era were roofed in phases, so when neighbors start replacing, the same clock is running on yours. Ventilation standards were looser then; adding ridge vent and clearing soffit intake during a replacement usually pays back in shingle life. Salt air corrodes fasteners and drip edge years before shingles look worn, so coastal roofs often fail from the metal out.
On cost: the roof costs what it costs, but a wind-mitigation-optimized install can pay back a meaningful share of that through premium reductions over its life.
Insurers can no longer refuse to write a policy solely because a roof is under 15 years old, and roofs older than that can qualify with a passing inspection showing at least five years of remaining life.
