Get a written quoteDesign wind speeds near the coast are the highest in the state, which changes the nailing pattern, the underlayment, and the price. Salt air corrodes fasteners and drip edge years before shingles look worn, so coastal roofs often fail from the metal out. Additions from later decades were often tied into the original roof without proper flashing; those seams are where the leaks live.
What it costs in Sweetwater: 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.

How it works
The carrier's adjuster inspects the roof and writes a scope. Having your roofer present means damage doesn't get missed and the scope is argued on the spot rather than by letter later.
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.
