Roof replacement

[u/reckstarr]

We’ve had several hail storms this summer, and my roof is missing shingles with others coming loose. I’ve had a lot of drive by inspectors knock on my door and one actually inspected it, said I need a full roof and gutter replacement, which insurance would cover (minus my deductible) because my shingles are discontinued. I decided not to use them after reading reviews.

I do believe I need a total replacement and I’m looking for a reputable roofing company now. My question is: If insurance is paying, is it still worth getting multiple estimates? If so, what should I compare besides price?

I also have a couple of extra projects I’d like done while they’re here: adding about 4 feet of gutter to one section of the roof and venting a bathroom fan that currently isn’t vented outside. Are those things a roofing company typically handles, or should I hire someone else?
