Insurance & Roofing (southeast)

Currently under LOI for a resi roofing company in the southeast. Would really like to learn/get some insight into three things:
1. Are insurance companies denying claims more often? (most of the revs comes from insurance)
2. How should I think about or value brand equity given the business has only been around for 5 years?
3. Heavily sales-driven, not a lot of inbound from the brand itself. Does this impact valuation and/or deal structure (i.e. sales-driven equal higher seller note for added protection)?
4. Given revs mainly from insurance, sales-driven, young company, what valuation multiple would you put on this? $4.5-$5.5M & $650K-$750K in SDE.
