Make sure the roofing folks note any damage to anything outside -- deck all dinged? note. Patio furniture messed up? note. etc. The insurance company will be obligated to pay for that. However, if you simply pocket the money and it happens again, you don't get to claim that in the future.

Not all roofers do other things besides roofs, but there are many, many companies that say they do everything now. The adjusters will inspect the entire property and don't need help from roof sales people to find damage. However, those roof sales people make more money with the more damage they find, so it is unlikely that any collateral damage will be missed between the two people looking at your property.
