Had mine done last June and it was $13,500 for around 23 squares on a 2 story with a 7/12 pitch. Also had 3 whirlybirds removed and went with a long ridge vent and they also flashed in one chimney.
I had 30 yr. asphalt architectural shingles installed, new underlayment and drip edge with 5 nails per shingle nailed down.

With a roof, what most people don't know and where they make a mistake, is thinking you only get one check.
First you get the check that is basically the blue book for your roof. For example:
The insurance says a new roof on your house would cost 20K. But your roof is 15 years old, has granule loss, hail damage, tree damage, and missing shingles. So as your roof sits they say it's worth 5k. So they cut you a check for 5k.
Most people think ok I got this check for 5k and I need to get an estimate and hope to get it done for 5k or around that so they go with the cheapest possible quote and get a crap job.
But if you have a roofer familiar with insurance they can explain and work the claim for you and say no, a new roof on this home, repairing everything that is needed, actually cost 25k (because the adjuster always misses things). So they send the insurance an estimate for 25k with all the needed repairs and missed items. So you get your roofer to do all that and when the job is done the roofer submits the supplement to the insurance and they send out a 20k check for the remaining balance.
So instead of taking a 5k check and getting a turd of a roof, you get a brand new roof from a guy that pulled a permit, put drip edge on, replaced all your flashing and pipe jacks, probably got your gutters replaced or at least money to have them removed so the roof can be done right, used a synthetic felt instead of tar paper and put an architectural shingle on instead of a cheap three tab.
If insurance is paying for it, you want the company that will get you a Lexus put on your roof not a Altima.
This is not at all my experience with replacing new roofs.
A decent adjuster will get everything covered if you're there with them, and the roofer will ask for the exact payout from insurance.
The roofer will then conveniently hit that exact number. No more. No less.
2 of my neighbors did this after the same hail storm we all went through. One paid 26k for a roof. The other? 33k. 100% the exact same roof from the same roofer and the same crew. 2 squares different.
I got the same roof as well, from a different roofer, 4 squares more than the larger above, who I did not share my insurance number with. 21k.
Your local roofer, after a storm, is a piece of shite.

I told her to give you a call and you'd do her right
. I just kind of explained the insurance process a little to her and some things she needs to look out for and some good questions to ask her roofer. Roofer they have been dealing with seems pretty clueless. quote:

It's getting ridiculous. AAnd Xactimate won't keep up with the increases.
This is random but did you happen to call our office a month or so ago? My secretary said someone was calling about some marketing or something and she only remembered the first name and botched the last name. I meant to message you on FB. Secretary is overpaid

So correct me if I'm wrong but you just explained what was three shady situations and I am saying be upfront with every aspect of the job but I'm the one doing it wrong?

I agree, many are. I've never knocked on a door after a storm in my entire life so I'm a little different than who you deal with.
Edit: I also live quite a ways from this poster and know I wasn't going to be doing this job. i was just giving some advice. We talked on the phone and I gave her some tips and was going to possibly go with someone that was pretty shady. So I think I'll sleep ok tonight despite you thinking I'm shitty

No I didn't have to. Allstate took my deductible out of my settlement offer, and then Premier South pretty much did the roof for what the estimate was minus my deductible, it was covered 100%.

I hear Garcia Roofing has great deals
They will do the roof and give you nice discount if the roofing crew gets to rail your wife.

Insurance is probably not gonna pay for the entire roof. They’ll pay to repair only the part that was damaged by the tree.
Not always the case. There are alot of variables. If the house has shingles that aren't to code or aren't made anymore, they don't have much of a choice.

According to the scumbag roofers I have dealt with in the past, the entire amount the insurance company will pay.

This is reasonable accurate. I'm about to build a house. $12k-14k is what I'm getting quoted for a 2800 SQFT living area house.
Keep in mind new construction doesn't include tearoff and cleanup is MUCH easier. You also have the possibility of decking replacement on old work.

In before “you can’t build a house without a contractor”. There’s a few OT contractors trying to protect their existence.

About $20K where I live. Good luck with that. Maybe insurance will pay?

Corrupt roofers and corrupt insurance companies have destroyed everything.
Hire some Mexicans, treat them well, $2000 out of pocket. I know for a fact they get their materials from the same places.
