Q: Anyone have any conception how insurance companies figure out what it would cost to rebuild an entire house if it burned down or blew away...I survive on long island....I would assume it is the square footage multiplied by a cost per foot....any ideas what the verifiable cost per foot is today????

A: I'm undeviating there is a mathematical formula somewhere, but when I was still writing home insurance we took all the information (either rooms or square footage poop), plugged the details into an "estimator" and got a value. There is a standard estimator that most companies use, and there is unquestionably a copy available somewhere on the web.

You can't just use straight square footage, because you have to consider bathroom fixtures, finished vs. unfinished basement, add-ons (built-in ovens, ceiling fans, medial air, etc) too.

Q: I hardly had a disaster in my rented house and the renters insurance policy says it covers replacement cost. In Aristotelianism entelechy they initially pay out a current cash value (replacement value minus depreciation) and then secure you provide receipts for the items as you replace them to recover your depreciated value.

I am about to foothold a home and am wondering if there is any homeowners insurance policies that refund full replacement value without having to replace the items insured?

(Note to anyone filing an insurance assertion, claim every item individually, er on the side of it being new, and expensive, you shop a Dillards, not Walmart.)
If you ever go through a calamity where you loose everything, I think you'll find there are a lot of things that just can't be replaced, like the quilt mom turn over submit-made, first teddy bear, hair, time, energy. As for the old TV, the TV may have cost 300 15 years ago, but it still costs 150 to restore it now, no $50. Not to mention antique and vintage furniture doesn't depreciate in unvarnished cash value, but it does in insurance estimates. I can't just go out and buy these things anymore.

A: Home insurance is indeed very flexible. I don't understand all the details of my homeowners policy, but my homeowners insurance agent is always profitable. Try calling your agent or a homeowners agent in your city. http://www.easyhomeinsuranceguide.com They will be accomplished to help you.
