I had a roofing contractor that had many good recommendations to come out and inspect the roof. They said it looked fine (which I knew) but I needed to replace that vent because the Village builders use very cheap vents. This is a vent for an outdoor kitchen and was not installed by the Villages. The vent is just fine. The contractor said it would cost $350 to replace it with a new good one!

I can see a need for a business that just does roof inspections and does not sell roofing. An experienced person who would charge a reasonable fee to look over your roof… maybe $50-100.
You might well be on to something.
