I'll see what one roofer, who I really like, thinks. If he thinks the
insurance guy was in the ballpark, I'll forego any squabbling, but if he
thinks it is low, I'll weigh his effectiveness vs that of an independent
adjuster.

But it's a great option!

I'd get the bids from a couple of people (you'll probably have to do
that anyway) and see what they look like. If close, I'd go back to the
first guy and ask him about it. If not close, I'd go back to the first
guy and ask him about and only go for the public adjuster if your
insurance adjuster blows you off. Any other seems like too much work.
Especially since if the bids are close you know the adjuster was good.
