Can I do repairs myself, even if I turn in professional estimate to the insurance company?

Question

I had some recent storm damage to my home and want to do the repairs myself. The insurance company asked for a detailed estimate of the cost of repairs. If I get a contractor to prepare the estimate, can I turn in the claim, but then do the repairs myself (to save a little money.) I am fairly handy, used to be in the home construction industry.

Answer 2
