Extended replacement cost is a type of insurance coverage that provides additional protection beyond the limits of a standard policy. In the event of a covered loss, such as damage to your home, extended replacement cost coverage will pay for the full cost of repairing or rebuilding your property, even if it exceeds the policy limit. This can help ensure that you are fully covered in the event of a major disaster or unexpected increase in construction costs.

Does adding a bedroom to your house cause homeowner's insurance rate to rise?
Adding onto the home will not make you rate increase by itself. However, you probably will have to increase the amount of coverage you have to reflect the increase in replacement cost. I would suggest that you contact your insurance agent and explain that you have added onto the home and ask them to see if you have enough coverage. If you do not have coverage equal to a certain percentage of the replacement cost you can be penalized on any claim in the future. This depends on what type of homeowner's policy you have and how much coverage you have. This is not something you want to find out after a kitchen fire.

Explain underinsurance and the implications of underinsurance?
In a word... Co-insurance penalty. Not every property insurance policy has a co-insurance clause, but most do, and it is one of the least explained but potentially most important things policy holders should understand. The co-insurance clause is represented by a percentage - 80% or 90% are common. This percentage represents the amount of coverage you are required to carry in relation to the replacement cost of the property insured. For instance, if have a warehouse of stock worth $1,000,000 and a property insurance policy with an 80% co-insurance clause, you would need $800,000 of coverage to be compliant. The co-insurance clause only becomes relavant at the time a loss occurs. At that point the insurance adjuster must determine if you adequately insured, to the co-insurance requirement. The formula to determine co-insurance is as follows: Coverage Carried / Coverage Required x Amount of Loss For example, suppose you had an inventory worth $1M and only carried $500k of insurance, with a 90% co-insurance requirement. You have a devastating fire and suffer a loss to half your inventory. Co-insurance would work like this: 500,000 / 900,000 x 250,000 = 138,889 The $138,889 is the amount your insurance company is obligated to pay you. Does seem like craziness? You paid for $500,000 of coverage any only got $138,000? Let me further explain.... Believe it or not, the purpose of co-insurance is to keep things fair for the insurance company. Most consumers and business owners know that the odds of them ever having total loss - that is the entire sum of their property destoyed - is extremely low. Many insured only want to buy enough coverage for what they perceive is their average potential claim. The problem is, they also want the policy to provide coverage on a replacement cost basis. Insurance companies, for their part want to insure the property for its entire replacement cost - for real estate this is the cost to rebuild the structure; for stock or personal property it is the cost to replace old with new. The purpose of property insurance is to protect the policy holder from the possibility of a complete and total loss. Co-insurance is an in-elegant way of forcing policy holders to insure their stuff for its full replacement value in the event of that total loss occuring. Now, what if you don't want to insure your stuff for replacement value? No problem, just buy a policy that pays on actual cash value basis. Or, find a policy with no co-insurance clause built in (expect to pay more). Or, use something called "blanket" insurance to eliminate the possibity of a co-insurance penalty. Don't let all this scare you though. In the real world of claims adjusting, co-insurance doesn't come up all that often. Policies often have clauses built in to accomodate seasonal fluctations of inventory values. Buildings are typically inspected to determine an estimated replacement cost. However, as the policy holder it is still your responsibility to ensure the policy coverage limit is appropriate to prevent a co-insurance penalty.

Does homeowner's insurance cover injury to a person a friend who is doing repairs on my house?
You should contact your insurance agent and ask about the coverages you have available to you on the Home Insurance Policy you purchased. All home insurance policies are not the same. It really just depends on what coverage you chose when purchasing your policy. Often, when a property or home owners primary concern when purchasing property insurance is the final price, many of the extended coverages available may not have been chosen at the time of purchase. Some homeowners are price shoppers while others are coverage shoppers. However, here are a few points to guide you 1. A property owner is not automatically liable for injury to a person simply because the injury occurred on your property. To establish financial liability the injured person would have to show that the property owner was the direct or proximate cause of the sustained injury, either through action or inaction contrary to that which a prudent person would take. If you feel you may be liable for the injury, You should first check your policy and establish whether or not you purchased personal Liability coverage with your policy. 2. If you were paying this person, or friend to do a repair on your property, they would be considered a hired worker. Your Home Insurance Policy does not provide coverage for hired workers. 3. Some home insurance policies, (if you elected medical coverage) have a limited medical coverage (very Small amount) for the defined insureds and household guests, for minor injuries sustained in and around the home. The term "Guest" might hinge on the reason the person was at your home. Was the person or friend their as a household guest as defined under your policy terms? or was the person there for the specific reason of performing a repair? To establish coverage, You should check your home insurance policy and determine if you opted for medical coverage when you purchased your policy. 4. A home insurance policy, even with an extended medical endorsement for accidental household injury should never be considered a replacement or substitute for medical insurance. There is just no comparison. The best course of action would be to contact your insurance company or agent and explain the situation. They could then give you guidance as to whether or not there would be coverage for the injury sustained by the "person or friend" who was performing repairs on your home.
