Of course we called the company named on the yard signs and they sent a very nice young man out. Because my girlfriend has a large house he said a new roof would cost between $30,000 and $33,000.
But then he pretty much assured us he could get the insurance company to pay for the entire roof, minus her deductible of $2500.
Should we go with that deal? Or just have 12 shingles replaced?
We'd appreciate your thoughts.

Depends on age of roof, what insurance company? Most likely insurance will only pay for repair, which is less than your deductible. If roof is less than 10years, repair out of pocket and move on.
