Tried uploading pics with no luck...

Anyway...I'm also a believer in getting things done before it's critical. So, I'll plan on taking action within the year I guess.

The roof is clear of trees, so that's good. It's a patio villa, so the cost, I expect shouldn't be toooooo bad. 5-6k?
Will go with the newer "fancy" shingles as 3 tab seems to be a thing of the past, at least up north.
Our Patio Villa was built in 2004, and I had the roof replaced with
architectural shingles a couple months ago.
There were no leaks, could have probably put it off for another year or so,
but I’m proactive like Frank, and decided to act.
I think your guesstimate of 5-6K is pretty good.
