Hi, I've been there with the shame over a messy house. Mine's just barely tolerable now. Contractors are hard to deal with, there really are a lot of rip-offs, or just incompetents. The best you can do is contact 3 or so, you'd be surprised how much difference there can be. You can just pick the one who seems most trustworthy. I nearly got ripped off by a plumber, I called for faucet replacement, he convinced me I needed thousands' worth of work, I backed out at the last minute, then the next one I called did the job I wanted for a good price.
Regarding the house, if you're not up to cleaning, you might just have to just tell yourself it doesn't matter what a roofing worker thinks of your house. They'll mostly be looking up at the ceiling anyway.
Getting a solid roof over your head will probably feel really good.
