I live in a city and a lot of my neighbors have roof decks. How do they fix their roofs when there is a leak, or when the roof just needs to be replaced?

I suffered some minor roof shingle damage during Hurricane Ike. I lost shingles that cover roughly a 3 ft. x 2 ft. section on the roof. Otherwise, no visible damage, no leaking or anything. What is a rough ballpark figure I should expect to pay so I know I’m not getting gouged or ripped off? There are a lot of roofers running around here trying to make a buck since this storm blew through Houston.

Any and all comments are appreciated!
I forgot to mention that the shingle loss is right on the edge of the 2nd story of my home that isn’t easily accessible with a ladder (the 1st floor kind of juts out in front of it with an incline). The repair seems relatively simple to me but I fear that I would probably fall off the roof if I tried.

I brought a house three years ago. This house according to the real estate agent had a fairly new roof. What ever that means. Last year I noticed the shingles were slightly peeling up.This year they are very bad. I just had the roof replaced I spent 4200.00 dollars. Anyway, we just had a really bad rain. Guess ;what it was raining in my house. Ir wasn’t a lot but it was enough to put a small puddle on the floor. My husband went upstairs and there are boards where the roofer did not replace wood in the decking. They have big knot holes as well as one is broken. Also, I noticed they did not do my roof to my addition. I had the roofing company come back out. They did send the owner they sent the foreman. He said they would fix the boards and alumacoat the flat roof of the addition. He says it was not included in the bid but will throw that in free of charge. Today came no roofer. I got a call later saying they will be out tomorrow. I ask the owner if they are fixing the boards and alumacoating the addition the same day. He says what boards? He said the wood having knot holes would not cause it to leak. He said he will come by and look but he doesn’t believe us. He is gruff. My husband said he would be home from work after five. The roofer never showed up. They never answer the phone either. Can the knot holes in the decking cause leaks? Really I don’t care whats causing the problem I just want it fixed. I didn’t pay 4200.00 to have it rain in my house. Help!!!
