Często zadawane pytania

How much dwelling coverage do I need?

Replacement cost (rebuild, not including land or foundation). Underinsuring leaves you liable. Get appraisal or contractor estimate. Inflation riders adjust coverage annually.

What's the difference between actual cash value and replacement cost?

Actual cash value (ACV): current market value less depreciation. Replacement cost: full rebuild amount. Replacement cost more expensive but better. Old houses prefer ACV (saves premium, risky coverage).

What doesn't homeowners insurance cover?

Floods (separate policy), earthquakes (separate endorsement), maintenance failures (roof rot), sinkholes (varies). Hurricanes often covered. Check exclusions carefully.
