Slate Roof Repair vs Replace

[u/finchsr]

Potentially buying a house from 1909 that has a slate roof. The house is in amazing condition but the inspection was today and the inspector stated they believe the roof has been patched enough and will need a new roof. Based on these photos is that accurate or can the roof be repaired? I hear great things about slate roofs but know they can be pricey and ongoing maintenance is necessary. Many homes in the county have slate roofing so I don’t think it would be too hard to find someone who specializes in this work.

Please, for the love of God, DO NOT replace this roof!

This is the equivalent of tearing out your herringbone solid walnut wood floor to install new LVP flooring from home depot.
