I agree, removing that is the best option.
Just to be clear:
So they are proposing to turn that gutter into a standard fascia with a drip edge (creating one roof plane / pitch from the fascia to the ridge), add a gutter to that fascia, install I&W shield at the eve and then install new comp from the drip edge up to and tie-in to the existing comp ?
Imo replacing 5 rows of shingles seems pointless. I thought you tracted the leak down to the scupper in the other thread? $1500 with no details on what that entails to me sends up a huge red flag, he will caulk it and tell you its fixed...it may last a season or two then you will back to square one and $1500 poorer. What i like about the first bids, provided they are doing what i mentioned, is they remedy the issue entirely. It is possible for the leak to be coming from above the dutch valley, in this case you would be wasting your $ on bid 1 and 2, I would say post a pic of the entire roof section ( i will go back and look, you may have already). If its got zero complexity then 99% of the time its that built in gutter that is the root of the problem and your bids #1 and 2 are gonna solve it ...properly vs a bandaid for $1500.
If so i concur, its the best option because it creates a norm / standard eve detail that will look great and be problem free. Unless you hire a hack then all bets are off
