Default Minor roof leak discovered with some rot...

Getting our roof resealed and the satellite dish upgraded and the shop noticed that there has been a small leak on the roof under a foot of the old KVH dish that doesn't drip but was just enough to rot the wood. Apparently, there was some install shenanigans because someone had glued that foot (1 of 3) to the fiberglass over some damage. Affected area is maybe 10" in diameter. They dried it as much as possible and then resealed it. They said their fix should be good for a few years but the damage/rot is done. Mentioned that the only way to really fix this will be to get the roof replaced down the road.

Is that true? The rest of the roof is great but I find it incredulous that the whole roof would have to be redone because of one small area. It's a fiberglass roof with the thin layer of wood underneath. Does anyone specialize in doing a less drastic repair?
