Not much. Your insurer provides funds for a covered loss. You choose your contractor that you want to do the work. It is the homeowners responsibility to hire a reputable (preferably insured) contractor to perform the repairs.

It depends. If, for example, extensive damage occurs because of a covered natural disaster -- an earthquake -- and the board and the insurance company agree that the insurance company's vendor will complete the repair work inside units on assets covered by the master policy, then the insurance company's vendor may complete the work. If, however, you prefer a different vendor, it's possible that you could negotiate with the board and pay the difference between what the insurance company's vendor would charge and what your vendor would charge to repair assets inside your unit that you want your own vendor to repair.

What cab be done to get an insurance company to repair a roof?
Whether or not an insurance company is responsible to repair a roof depends on a number of things. Homeowner's insurancetends to only cover things that are sudden and accidental. If your roof needs repair because it is worn out and now you have leaking going on inside, you are not going to get the insurance company to fix your roof. That is routine maintenance that comes with the privilege of ownership of a house. If you hired someone to replace an old roof, and they did it wrong, then your insurance company probably will not cover that either. Your battle is with the contractor who did the work.If however, there was a storm that damaged your roof (for example), and your insurance company isn't paying for that, then you certainly should be able to recover some of the cost of that repair. Your recovery is going to be subject to your deductible, and it might also be subject to depreciation depending upon the type of policy you have. If your insurance company refuses to pay, then you should contact your state's office of the commission of insurance and file a claim. In my state, every policy that is issued has to include information about how to contact the commissioner's office, but if you don't have that information included with your policy, you should be able to google it and find the contact information.
