Tell the contractor what you have seen
A simple weather history is more useful than insisting a particular component has failed.
Mention earlier work
Old patches and repeat leaks belong in the history.
Compare the proposed work
If two roofers suggest different repairs, ask what evidence led each one there before comparing price.
Ready to get the fault inspected?
Send a wide photograph from safe ground if you have one. Close-ups are useful only when the position on the roof is clear.
