The roof I have now does need to be replaced but I already got a quote for it a few months back for about $6k for architectural asphalt shingles. The roof on it now is about 30 years old and I would hope it would last another 20 to 30 so I'll never have to worry about it again. That's one of the reasons I was so hopeful about getting the solar roof as I could put that theoretical six or seven thousand towards it but even then it's still crazy expensive.



Nobody just replacing the asphalt shingles is going to require the asbestos pipes be removed or the lead paint remediation or swapping out the perfectly fine and even more sturdy you 1x6" I think they're actually 1x12" planks for plywood.



The more I read up on it I think the only reason they want to replace the asbestos pipes is because of the replacement of the deck with plywood. They are probably afraid they're going to move or break them anyway. But most stuff I can find reading up on it says you just leave them alone and they're not going to hurt anything or anyone.
