The flashing work is not exactly very difficult, but requires attention to details as a poorly made job can ruin a roof. Of course other alternatives can still be found such as plastic, but I found these to have a rather limited time span, so I still recommend to use galvanized metal for flashing jobs.

If you are looking for a temporary solution (and by temporary I mean something that will last about 20 years) you can safely use the cheaper solutions, but I would still recommend the use of a roof contractor. There are many brand new technologies out there that claim to have a lot of endurance and quality at a low cost. Only time can really prove if these technologies can deliver these promises. You can try them of course, but you may get some nasty surprises in the long run. You have been warned.

What bothers me most about today's roofs is the fact that they have a small warranty. Twenty years might seem a long time, but compare that to the two centuries that some of the really old roofs have withstood and you will get a sense of proportion. I strongly disagree with disposable, cheap roofs. A roof should stand for generations even with minimal maintenance. Solid wood and slate roofs are still the best choice available at least for the low end of the market, so if you really want a good roof I recommend them.
