re: Need advice on dealing with my homeowners insurance claim.

I'm a first time homeowner so I'm not really sure how the claim process works. Do I just get a lump sum of money based on the materials and labor estimated for the jobs? Or do I need to get everything done and provide receipts to the insurance company.

All depends on the company... Most likely you will get a check for everything minus depreciation and your deductible. You can get back the depreciation if you provide receipts for everything.
