That would be my advice. Most roofing contractors offer free estimations, so it want cost you anything to get another opinion. http://www.whitcoroofing.com/asbestos-roof-removal.html   Joe (Joe) Senior Member Username: Joe Post Number: 387 Registered: 07-2006 Posted on Tuesday, March 24, 2009 - 07:04 pm:        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.   Slateworks (Slateworks) Senior Member Username: Slateworks Post Number: 64 Registered: 09-2006 Posted on Monday, March 23, 2009 - 10:04 pm:        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,   Leslie (Leslie) New member Username: Leslie Post Number: 4 Registered: 03-2009 Posted on Monday, March 23, 2009 - 04:56 pm:          Leslie (Leslie) New member Username: Leslie Post Number: 3 Registered: 03-2009 Posted on Monday, March 23, 2009 - 03:19 pm:        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
