Let the adjustor come out.

Let the adjustor give you a figure, then have a few reputable companies come and bid the job for you. You could put a little in your pocket.

Do not, under any circumstance, let the contractor look at your adjustors worksheet and do not tell them what they estimated the damage at. They will get every penny if you do.

I went through this last fall. Huge hail (record for the state EVER fell 3 blocks away) which put 6 holes through our roof....through the decking. It's not a fun process no matter how you go about it.
