Frequently Asked Questions.
-
Actual cash value pays what your damaged item is worth today (after depreciation), which is usually less than replacement cost. Replacement cost pays what it would actually cost to replace that item new. Replacement cost coverage costs more, but it's worth it—it ensures you can truly rebuild without out-of-pocket expenses.
-
Absolutely. If you add a new room, upgrade your kitchen, or make major improvements, your home's value increases. Your old policy might not cover the full replacement cost of your renovations. Let us know about updates so we can adjust your coverage and make sure you're protected for what your home is actually worth now.
-
The best way is to have your home professionally evaluated. We assess your home's replacement cost (what it would actually cost to rebuild), the value of your belongings, and your liability exposure. Many homeowners are underinsured without realizing it. We'll make sure your policy matches your actual needs.
