After a roof reaches 8 to 10 years old, many insurance companies automatically transition your coverage from a Replacement Cost Value (RCV) policy to an Actual Cash Value (ACV) policy. Under an ACV policy, the insurer depreciates your roof based on age, leaving you to pay significant out-of-pocket costs when a storm strikes rather than covering the full cost of a replacement.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Accent-Color” heading_tag=”h3″ heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”How often should I replace my roof to maintain maximum insurance protection?”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Given current insurance policy guidelines, replacing your roof every 8 to 10 years ensures your home stays protected under full RCV coverage, maximizing your policy\u2019s payout potential and minimizing your personal financial liability after severe North Texas weather.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Accent-Color” heading_tag=”h3″ heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”How does SBGS Roofing and Remodeling help me stay ahead of insurance changes?”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]We protect our clients with proactive care.
