Question for the contractor types here...

Here is the situation.
Back in 2001, we had a whole new roof put on. This included a tear off of all the existing roof, both on the sloped, shingle part and the flat roof over our family room.

I recently got a quote for 'repair' of the flat roof. I called the same company that put it on originally. I have no complaints about them or the quality of their work. The roof doesn't leak, this is more to appease my wife who watches a lot of HGTV shows, and is worried the flat roof portion of our roof has reached it's end of life, or is close to it. We spent a bit of money getting the inside painted white and my wife doesn't want a leak to ruin it.

The estimate to 'repair' the roof is for a silicon system to be applied. It also includes replacing our whirlybird turbine which is making noise when it spins. When they installed the roof back in '01, they painted all the vents/turbine/pipes coming out of the roof brown to match the shingles.
My question is, am I out of line asking for an itemized listing of the costs of the materials. IE the new turbine, paint, sealant etc and labor involved in each activity?

I looked at Home Depot and there are brown turbines available which seems to me to be better than trying to paint one.
Am I being to anal about it all and should I just suck it up and pay to have it done and be done with it?
