Roof leak need advise

Have a roof leak and had two different company’s do repairs with no luck yet. Side of roof that is leaking has no bathroom vents or chimneys. Just shingles on the side that it’s leaking.

1st company took off ridge cap. Has box vents on other side of roof for venting.

2nd company caulked shingles that where loose.

Anyone ever had any luck repairing roof? vs replacing?

Shingles look to be in good shape. Roofing companies said I should get another 5-7 years. Only leaks during a hard rain.

Also if replacing I was thinking of doing a metal roof. I feel like they will last longer. What’s your thoughts on a metal roof?
