Roofing Companies
It's time for me to bite the bullet and get a new roof. Any company recommendations?
Also, any advice on dealing with my homeowners insurance? I have zero experience or knowledge in this area.

Martinez Roofing. Ask for 35 year shingles. Actually I recommend a metal roof. You probably will have to pay the difference between the insurance company giving you shingles. I wished I would have got a meat roof. Good luck. Oh and after they are done please ensure you check for roofing nails that will wash down the gutter and are laying in the yard. Some do a better job than others picking up after themselves. Those nails hurt and you will drop your beer should you step on one......

A&M Roofing out of Kempner replaced my entire roof 5 years ago, along with some other minor repairs, and did a great job.
Get 3 estimates before you even call your insurance company. When the adjuster comes you'll have a bit of ammo then. When the adjuster submits his report of damage
the insurance company will low ball you.

What exactly does the adjuster look for? Currently I only have 3 or 4 tabs missing, 1 from a storm over Christmas and 2 from today. However, I have had several replaced prior and a lot of the shingles are cupping.

Might not even be worth calling your insurance company about. Get those 3 estimates first. Then do the math - what they think it would cost less your deductible.
But with the shingles "cupping" as you say, probably time for a new one.
Better yet - if not leaking - wait until the next hail storm then call the insurance company.

I know it is time for a new one since this is the original roof and the house was built in '02. When I had a few shingles replaced 2 years ago the guy glued a couple more and told me it was time to start thinking about replacing it. He is just a handy man, not a roofer, so I know he wasn't trying to just get more money out of me.
