That's interesting. Come to think of it, everyone who signed up to bring cookies and such brought store bought, but I'm not sure that they specifically requested they do that.
Our brick isn't really dark, kind of a medium red with variations:
I think that's a pretty good representation of the color. Any pics I had of the front of the house are with a flash or washed out from too much light (or something on the lens). The whole front of the house is a brick face, but in the back, it's just a brick foundation with white siding.
I would recommend finding someone in your area who deals specifically with insurance claims, if that's the way you're going to go. Our guy gave us the storm date that other neighbors have used to file the claim. He came out to meet the adjuster and was the one who got up on the roof and such with him (and I'm pretty sure was the reason the whole cost of the roof was approved and not just part of it like some people have had). He called and kept in contact with the adjuster while the claim was being processed and was generally involved in the whole process. We also called the roofer out before filing the claim, which I think helped.
It helped too that most of the houses in our neighborhood are about the same age, give or take a year or two, so lots of roofs are being replaced right now. We could kind of pay attention to the signs in yards and talk to our neighbors about who they used and what they thought of them. We found out from our neighbor who used the same guy not to bother with any extras they'd have to contract out (we had some interior painting on the claim from a stain where there was a leak). They're still withholding payment waiting on some vents or something to be replaced. After hearing that, we decided to have the painting done separately (later) and just apply that money towards an upgrade to a higher quality, longer lasting shingle.
It was quite wonderful!
