A rebuild cost estimate calculates the total cost to rebuild your house in the event of total loss. This estimate is known as the declared value and helps homeowners make informed decisions regarding their insurance coverage.
Accurate rebuild cost estimates ensure that homeowners understand the true cost to rebuild their properties, preventing underinsurance that could leave them financially vulnerable.
If your property is underinsured, your insurance payout may not cover the full cost of rebuilding in the event of a total loss. Understanding the declared value helps mitigate this risk.
