By doing extensive reasearch on the contractor you have hired will help you to know if he can do the repairs on your roof correctly. They also have sites that have recommended contractors that have to have high ratings before they are considered for thier site.
It doesn't work like that. The insurance company will pay claims for roof repairs or replacement that are consistent with the local market and consitent with the damages incurred. If you try to overcharge for the repairs, then the homeowner will be stuck for the remainder of the bill that is not paid by the insurer. A contractor simply submits a bid to the homeowner. If the homeowner chooses you as their roof contractor then they will submit that to the insurer for approval. The company will then pay the bill so long as it is reasonable and within the expected market range for that area.
Once your roof has been replaced, it is now a new roof so their would be no depreciation at that point. The roofing contractor is entitled to the amount he quoted and the homeowner agreed to pay for the job, no more.

Call a licensed roofing contractor as soon as possible before the leak gets worse Answer If you are a do-it-yourselfer, have a look at the roof if it is safe for you to do so. It may just be a matter of a few broken shingles. However, if the roof is more than 15-20 years old, you may need to look into replacing the roof, rather than just repairing it. Make sure the roofer is licensed and insured; and don't just go with the lowest price.
It's up to the jugde.
Why was the tree being removed from the property? Is this something your insurance company wanted done? Did you remove it yourself, or did you have a contractor do it? Answers to those questions could help clarify my answer to you. For now, the only situation I can think of where this would be covered is under the "Falling Objects" peril. If the tree fell into the roof and caused the damage, then that would be covered.
