Related Roof Repairs
Vents, skylights and related fixtures on a roof are going to vary in price. Generally, shingles around the fixture need to be removed to repair sealing and fix flashing. Then shingles are replaced.
If there are multiple vents, pipes or other things needing repair, yes, the cost will go up, but generally a contractor will reduce the rate for each as they are already up there, with all the tools.
Chimneys
With chimneys, the cost can quickly go higher as the damage to the chimney structure may be determined a source of roof problems and that would need to be fixed first.
Damage to material in valleys means removing shingles around it, fixing the metal pieces or (more likely) install a new one, and then replacing the shingles, and sealing everything. This ranges from $200 to $600, and depends on how long the valley is, how steep the slope of the roof and how many shingles actually need to be replaced.
