Property Claim Settlement FAQ's

Actual cash value is based on the cost to repair or replace the damaged item with an item of like kind and
quality, less depreciation. In other words, ACV is the value of the damaged item at the time of loss, not when the
item was originally purchased.

Depreciation is the reduction in the value of an asset with the passage of time based upon the age and the
condition of the item being replaced. In other words, it is the difference between RCV and ACV.

A deductible is the amount you pay before an insurance company will pay a claim. You would have chose this deductible when obtaining your policy. Your claim adjuster will let you know when this amount is needed or how it will change your settlement.

You will pay Ruffin Roofing the deductible. Your deductible is subtracted from the total claim value and payment is made to you.

 Reimbursement for repair or replacement of your covered damaged items will be in the form of one or more payments depending on the type of coverage you chose. Your policy may have replacement cost coverage on the structure of your personal property. If so, a ‘recoverable depreciation” amount will be listed on the estimate. Upon completion of the work, you may claim up to this amount based on the cost you incurred and subject to any applicable limits. You must have the item(s) replacement or repaired within the time limit identified in your policy. Please refer to your policy language.

Your insurance policy provides coverage only for what you had at the time time of loss. Therefore, any
upgrades you make will be at an out of pocket expense.

It is not unusual to have difference between our estimate and the insurance estimate. We want to provide you with the best service possible, while the insurance companies will estimate at much lower cost wanting to provide the bare minimum. Whenever there are differences, we will work with your insurance company to resolve the issues.
