I came home to find a small puddle near the bay window in my kitchen. It appears that with all the snow over the weekend and the warm temperatures yesterday, a large amount of very heavy slush had collected atop the window, causing the roof to buckle and ultimately leaked… Luckily there was a 2nd floor window directly above that I was able to hang out of and shovel off the remainder to prevent it from leaking further.
It’s actually 3 separate double-hung windows (not a newer style 1-piece unit) with a little framed roof on top. And it's about 10 or 12 feet across at it’s widest spot inside.
Just wanted to see if anyone had a general idea of what replacing this small section of roof might set me back… I tried to Google it, but most of the results were for full window replacements – not just the roof.
This would be a great opportunity to test out that Flex Seal stuff. Since you can reach right to the top, and if that mini roof is black, just spray. You can pick up a can from Lowes.
I used the Flex shot on a crack on my basement wall, keeps the bugs out.
I had a similar issue that unfortunately I realized a few weeks after moving into my house with my bay window leaking. I called roofing people, but no one was really interested in such a small job. Ultimately, I found someone that was willing to redo the bay window roof and my garage roof (which was in need of a new roof anyways) for about $1,500. Mind you, most of that cost was for the garage, so while this doesn't necessarily help you, you may want to consider trying to package it as part of a bigger job, if you can't find takers for just the window.

Actually that is pretty helpful to know. I may be better off with a good general handy man than a roofer.
Why do you make such a comment. If you think the bathroom pricing we have discussed is high that's fine. I understand that you aren't in the industry and don't understand pricing. No need to be rude about it though...
