Doing the work yourself after insurance claim?
So a big hail storm just came through town and shred a large part of the ciy with tennis to baseball size hail and 70+ mph winds. This storm took out two windows, a couple of pickets, a window on the shed and hammered the roof. My question is on a claim that is asking for receipts to prove the work was done, do I actually have to hire someone to install the windows or replacing the roof if I am fully capable? The insurance company wants estimates for the work prior to doing so as expected which isn't a problem, however is there anything problematic about doing the work myself? I am sending before photos to the company and about to go get some estimates, but I thought I'd ask to see if anyone else has come across this before? TIA for all your replies!
