Your home is probably the single largest investment you’ll ever make. By insuring your home, you are helping to protect your investment.Estimating the cost to rebuild your home will help you decide the amount of insurance you’ll want to purchase. The primary factors that’ll determine the cost to rebuild your home include:
- Local construction costs
- The square footage of your home (and the number of bathrooms and other rooms)
- The type of exterior wall construction – frame, masonry (brick or stone) or veneer
- The type of roof
- The number of floors (one to four stories, bi-level or split level)
- Special features like attached garages, fireplaces, exterior trim and arched windows
- Quality of materials and finishes throughout the home
