Filed a claim, got approved for a new roof, have not contacted any roofing companies. Do I call 3 companies and get quotes? What information do you divulge to them and what do you keep private? Any questions that are good to ask to make sure they gonna do a good job?

Talk to friends and read online reviews to see who folks like or dislike. Just tell them to come give you an estimate for new roof. I wouldn't say anything else. Then try to compare estimates. In our area the estimates are surprising similar with maybe one or two way off estimates.

Don't automatically go with the cheapest. Get references and call them . A roof is meant to last many years , even decades , it's gotta be done right and they ain't cheap.

Metal was $12k . Insurance payed $6k for hail damage but roof was 23 yrs old. I payed the extra a got metal . 4 yrs ago . Metal probably higher now . Definitely this. Metal down my way was $1500 difference from tile. I’m in the process of getting standing seam metal roof now. Got several quotes and negotiated with the higher quote and he ended up beating the lower bid by about $2k. Look at the proposal because some may cut corners. How much wood replacement do they include. My lowest bid included less and thickness of metal was less. Get several quotes and compare and negotiate with them. Read the fine print in contract so they don’t try to say they’re not responsible for damaging your driveway. Also consider secondary water resistance as you may get insurance discount.

Metal was only about $800 more for mine than shingles. Unless a tornado takes it off it will outlast me.
