Why You Don’t Actually Need Three Roofing Bids
Watch: Do You Really Need 3 Estimates for a Roof Claim?
Your Insurance Company Might Ask for Three Estimates—But You Don’t Have To
If you’ve called your agent after a storm, you may have heard this line:
“Make sure to get three estimates before moving forward.”
But here’s the truth:
- You’re not required to get multiple bids.
- You have the right to choose the contractor you trust.
Why Insurance Companies Ask for Multiple Estimates
In this video, we break down the real reason agents often suggest this:
🛡️ It’s a fraud prevention step—meant to protect the insurer
📋 It’s not a legal or policy requirement
🏚️ It often delays getting your damage assessed and repaired
If you already have a trusted roofer, you don’t need to shop around to satisfy your insurance company.
How to Handle the Estimate Request
- Politely explain you’ve selected a licensed, reputable contractor
- Let your roofer meet the adjuster and provide the scope of work
- Focus on getting accurate damage documentation—not three random price tags
What matters most is that your roofer:
✔ Is experienced with storm claims
✔ Uses correct materials for warranty compliance
✔ Is someone you feel comfortable working with
