Key Things to Know

01
What affects the price

What affects the price

Building type and age, roof, wiring and plumbing updates, sprinkler protection, distance to hydrant and fire hall, claims history, operations, values insured, and deductible all play a role.

02
Replacement cost is the gold standard

Replacement cost is the gold standard

Replacement cost coverage is designed to pay to repair or replace with like kind and quality. It's the price to buy the item on today's dollars. Actual cash value accounts for depreciation and is a lesser form of coverage.

03
Co-insurance and insuring-to-value

Co-insurance and insuring-to-value

Many property policies include a co-insurance requirement, meaning you're expected to insure to a certain percentage of the true value. If values are understated, a partial loss can be paid proportionally less.
