How many squares is your roof? Mine is 54. Got quotes from 20-30k. Local guys were the highest at 27k and 30k.

Realizing my insurance company is giving me the deep dicking since they are “paying to replace the roof” but then taking half out for depreciation.

Roofs are measured in "squares" and each Sq. is equal to 100sqft. My post Ida roof is costing $460 a Sq. I had a few lower quotes from out of state companies but decided to stay local and pay a little more and wait a little longer. My roof is also very steep in a lot of places (12:12/16:12) which makes it more expensive.

That depreciation should be recoverable once you get the roof changed.

You file a supplementary claim with the invoice from the roofer when they are done and they will give you the difference. They do this so you don’t go out and shop for a cheaper price and just pocket the extra money.
