New Roof? Or repairable?

We bought our home 5 years ago, it had recently been remodeled with an extension, new roof and roof deck. We have had minor leaks over the years that were repaired by a roofer. The roofer suggested that we need roof replacement. I got a second opinion from Premiere who said our roof was fine, just needed patching. It was patched, drywall repaired. Leaking again. Near skylights and the extension. Recommendations for a roofer to assess this? And anyone have a modular roof deck in place and needed replacement?

Some leaks can be elusive. Also, when you have penetrations, sometimes wind can push water up the side of the penetration. You have to get a really good roofer to repair it. Not someone who was painting houses last week and managed to save enough money for a ladder and a van.

Is this leak near the back of the extension? Is it a flat roof sloped to the back with a gutter behind it?

If you think that the situation of the roof is replaceable then you should repair the roof otherwise you should need the new roof

Rohan’s General Construction (718) 251-2182 is my go to for roofs where I need to seriously consider repair instead of installing new. I plan to hire him for another one of these type jobs this week
