Totally agree on sealing attic leaks first—seen plenty of homeowners jump straight into expensive roof replacements when the real issue was simpler. One thing I'd add: check around plumbing stacks and chimney flashing too. Those spots are sneaky culprits for air leaks and moisture intrusion. Quick fix is roofing sealant or flashing tape—cheap, easy, and can make a noticeable difference. If your roof's still solid structurally, might as well tackle these smaller things first before dropping big bucks on upgrades...
Good points all around, especially about checking chimney and plumbing stack areas. Have you thought about the benefits of a green or cool roof if you do end up replacing down the line? Sometimes a splurge isn't just about fixing leaks but also about energy savings and comfort. Maybe start small now with sealing and insulation, then reassess in a year or two—could be worth it long-term if your energy bills are high or summers get brutal where you live...
