I am not a roofing professional therefore, I would prefer to not repair my own roof. Similar to the tooth extraction I recently needed - going to a professional seemed a better choice than performing my own dental surgery.

$100 - $150 PER SHINGLE (two quotes) to replace eight shingles feels a bit like price gouging to me.

(note: not my home so I don't know which companies provided that quote. Homeowner did decide to make the repairs himself for about $7/shingle)

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
