Alternatives to consider
What to check before you sign up
Whichever home insurance provider you choose, compare these points:
- Coverage A amount. Should reflect the cost to rebuild, which is different from market value or purchase price.
- Replacement cost vs. ACV. Replacement cost pays to replace items new. Actual cash value subtracts depreciation.
- Standard and wind/hail deductibles. Some areas use a separate percentage deductible for wind, hail or hurricanes.
- What is not covered. Flood and earthquake are usually excluded and need separate policies.
