Most construction here dates from the '80s and '90s, so roofs are on their second cycle and carriers increasingly want to see a replacement date. Separating the most recent storm's damage from older wear is what makes or breaks a claim on a roof that hasn't been inspected in years.
On cost: no cost to inspect; the roofer's incentive is a fully scoped claim, and yours is a new roof for the price of your deductible — both align when the damage is real.

How it works
Under a replacement cost policy, no — the recoverable depreciation is only paid when the work is done. Under an ACV policy, you get the depreciated value and can do what you want, but it won't buy a new roof.
Test squares: a 10x10 foot area on each slope is chalked and hail strikes are counted. Most carriers use a threshold (often 8+ per square) to approve a slope. Your roofer should do the same count before the adjuster arrives.
