How The Value of Home is Determined

How is your home’s replacement value calculated? 

The insurance industry uses a retail construction cost estimator that is used by the construction industry.  Demolition and debris removal are factored in. 

The value of your home will include decks patios, attached garages, hot tubs, or any other attached structures.

Any time improvements are made to the property the estimator will recalculate the value and keep it up to date.  

Each year the insurance company will adjust the amount insured to reflect the increased cost of construction that year.

About Me

My photo
30 years in the insurance industy and still loving it! There is no business like it. I have been in countless homes, farms and businesses over the years and have met a surprising number of people. People I would never have met otherwise. I have been able to help many of them through some pretty rough patches in their lives which is the real reward and motivation for me.
