Have many roofers come to give est. Then all say we only do full replacement. I need a 4' × 4' replacement. Can I do this on my own ? Or is it too hard ?

Depends on your skill level. Watch a few YouTube videos and see if you thing you can do it..... you could hire a handyman much cheaper to help you if he has some construction skills. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=how+to+replace+a+shed+flat+roof https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pv_DwWNbtd4

Here's the link with info about 'Through the Roof'... http://www.sashco.com/products/through-the-roof/

Check out a product called 'Through The Roof', we fixed our roof with it two years ago and it still does not leak that stuff is amazing. It's a little on the pricey side about $15 for a quart but it does the job so if your roof is leaking and you can't afford a repair or a replacement that's the way to go!

We used tar paper and tar on ours and my dad did it himself!

I think they tell you that because they cannot give you a warranty for just a patch. You don't want to have to patch another spot in another year, etc. You would probably need some sort of rubberized material to help with the water proofing. Perhaps check You Tube to get an idea of what to expect.
