Know your insurance policy! Is Your roof covered?

During recent weeks, we heard industry rumors that some insurance carriers will no longer be insuring roofs at replacement cost value (RCV) and will only be insuring it at actual cash value (ACV).  I know you are saying. “What does this mean and how will this affect me?”
 
Being that we are in hurricane season and most roof damage is caused by hail and hurricanes, I will use this example …“Hurricane We’re Screwed” strikes Florida and damages your roof causing water to enter your property, which then causes water damage to the interior.  You report your claim to your insurance company and Mr. Adjuster conducts an inspection of your property. He agrees that the damage to your roof warrants replacement of the roof.  You finally receive a check and think to yourself, “this can’t possibly cover all my damage!”
 
Well, you are correct.  Although your insurance company agrees to pay your roof replacement, they have depreciated the replacement of your roof by the age of your roof and, in addition to that, the depreciation may no longer recoverable.
 
Roofs are normally paid based on replacement cost value, minus a deduction for recoverable depreciation and minus your deductible.  Once the repairs are completed, the depreciation is reimbursed to you.  Now, for those insurance companies only insuring a roof at actual cash value, there is no recoverable depreciation.  Once one carrier adopts this into their policy, other carriers will follow.  If you are insured with a carrier that has this in their policies, your roof will now be depreciated and paid based on it’s age.
 
If you are a homeowner, a homeowner association or a condominium association, this is important information you should not miss as your policy could change upon renewal. This type of policy change is not favorable to consumers!
 
We offer free insurance policy reviews.  If you have any questions call 561-288-6434.
