First insurance claim and how to go about it

I currently own a duplex and have 1 unit rented and the other vacant. The other day their was hail damage to the roof, siding, door, broken window and so on. I had an adjuster build up an estimate. I have a property management company and I live about 3 hours away.

Where I could use advice or tips is how do I handle this? Should I ask my PM to fix everything on the list? Do I get to keep extra cash thats leftover? 


If thats the case I could not get the steel door replaced potentially and have them fix as needed rather than fix everything.

I do not know what is allowed/advised and this is a first time situation for me. I would greatly appreciate any feedback/advice.
