Get a written quotePlank decking instead of plywood is common in this era, and it's the reason a quote must price decking replacement per sheet up front. Most homes predate 1980, so many are on their third or fourth roof and code limits on layers become a real constraint at tear-off. A sealed roof deck — peel-and-stick underlayment over every seam — earns secondary water resistance credit on the wind mitigation form and is worth asking for by name.
On cost: there is no fee to the homeowner for inspection and claim documentation — the roofer is paid from the approved claim, and your out-of-pocket is the deductible.
A wind mitigation inspection (Form OIR-B1-1802) can lower premiums on any roof and is required for most discounts.

A request for additional payment when the adjuster's scope missed items — code upgrades, drip edge, ice-and-water shield, or damage found once the roof is opened up. Common and legitimate.
A wind mitigation inspection (Form OIR-B1-1802) can lower premiums on any roof and is required for most discounts. Pine Island is inside the everyday service radius, so there's no travel surcharge and no "we'll be in the area next month."
