No, they dont. However, to recover the depreciated amount of certain items like the roof and the paint and carpet, you have to replace them. If you hit the policy limit that depreciation may not matter. There are other factors which might complement the situation. The best thing to do is to engage a Public Adjuster, they only charge 10 - 15% and the average settlement is 42% higher!
