Is $15,000 to replace roof via insurance claim a fair price?
Project Details
The homeowner has an ACV (Actual Cash Value) policy rather than RCV (Replacement Cost Value). The roofing company incorrectly assumed the depreciation was recoverable and assured the homeowner their out-of-pocket cost would only be the deductible plus $1,000. After completion, the company discovered the depreciation was non-recoverable and is now seeking several thousand dollars in additional payment.
