When purchasing your homeowner's insurance policy, it’s helpful to know that there are different options of coverage for various parts of your home, including your roof. The two most common types of coverage are Actual Cash Value (ACV) and Replacement Cost Value (RCV) policies.
Let’s compare the two:
ACV
Provides coverage for the cost of replacing your roof minus depreciation
Will payout based on the current value of your roof
The age and condition of your roof is taken into account when determining how much to pay out for a claim
Generally have lower premiums
If you have a roof with a 20-year lifespan, and it is damaged to the point of needing a replacement after 10 years, you will likely receive about 50% of the cost of replacement.
RCV
Pays out the entire cost to replace your roof without accounting for depreciation, minus deductible
Generally have higher premiums
