SCHEDULE TO COMPLETE THE REPLACEMENT WITHIN THE TIME FRAME GIVEN TO YOU BY YOUR INSURANCE.

Your roofer does the work for the total of the estimate.

Glossary
Common Insurance Terms
- Deductible: a specified amount of money that you must pay before an insurance company will pay a claim. This is your ONLY out of pocket expense.
- Depreciation: a reduction in the value of your roof with the passage of time. This can be recoverable and non-recoverable.
- Recoverable: 98% of policies include recoverable depreciation, meaning the second check from your insurance company will be sent, and the amount is covered.
- Non-recoverable: this is when a second check will NOT be sent. In this case, you are responsible for the deductible AND the depreciation amount.
- ACV (Actual Cash Value): on your adjuster's report, this will be the amount that is non-recoverable.
- RCV (Replacement Cost Value): this is the amount on your adjuster's report that IS recoverable.
