This depends on what type of settlement you took for the damage.

If the insurer is paying then they only are required to pay the actual invoice.

If you took a "settlement" and did some of the repairs yourself and had some done for less than the estimated amount you get to keep the overage.

It is important that both you and the insurance company agree what is going on!They can claim fraud if this is done wrong

What happens if your insurance company has allowed more for your roof than the estimate who gets the balance of the money allotted in the claim?

The amount initially reserved for a claim is called the reserved amount. This is the amount the insurance company estimates through observation may eventually be necessary to repair the damage. The final amount paid could be less or more than the amount initially reserved for a claim. It is not uncommon for the insurer to reserve a certain amount and then wind up paying much more before all repairs are completed. The insurance company knows that once repairs begin, other damages could be revealed that were not readily apparent upon initial inspection. The bill could rise as the repairs progress. This is why it's usually best to let your insurer deal with the roofing company directly. If the company has sent you a check as final settlement, meaning that is all they are going to pay and they have closed your claim and you mange to get the work done cheaper than the settlement, then you are allowed to keep the balance. If the insurance company is dealing directly with the roofing company they will pay the amount of the final repair bill, not the estimate.


Will you get a final check after all repairs are completed from the insurance company?

Some insurance adjusters will write you a check for the immediate repairs that are noticeable, However generally there are many repairs the adjuster does not notice until after the job is complete and or the job costs more than what he has allocated in any event you have the right for a reconsideration on all aspects. If the insurance company fails to fund as needed contact your state commissioner of insurance he/she will be glad to investigate the insurance company .(Insurance Companies worst nightmare because if they have many complaints the insurance commissioner can bar them from soliciting or providing insurance with in the state.
