Leslie: We commonly repair asbestos roofs like this. It is not at the end of its life, but may have decades remaining. Can we get a closer look at the asbestos tiles? There is some info on our web site at http://www.slateroofcentral.com/asbestos_repair.html. |

HI. Hard to tell from the pic but roof does not look to bad and with repair may last a lot longer than 1 or 2 yrs..you can find replacement tiles from companies on this site ect. ..try looking in the basement/garage/under porches/attic ect. there may be some tiles left over from when the roof was installed? would get a couple more opinions, |

We are trying to purchase a home which has a abestoes roof, with missing tiles. We had one co come out an say we needed a whole new roof. "Current roof will last 1-2 years" How do we know if this is accurate and that they are not trying to get us to purchase something not needed
