About This Project
One of the more consequential insurance moves a homeowner can make is understanding the difference between ACV (actual cash value) and RCV (replacement cost value). This Domain-area homeowner had RCV coverage but Farmers' initial offer was structured as ACV — a lower payout that accounts for depreciation on the existing roof.
We identified the discrepancy, confirmed the homeowner's policy included RCV, and submitted a formal request for reconsideration with the policy documentation. Farmers corrected the payment to full RCV within two weeks. The difference was roughly $6,200 in the homeowner's favor.
CertainTeed Landmark Pro in Pewter Gray was the material selection — a cool neutral that works with the varied exterior styles common in North Austin's mid-2000s construction. The 2,300 sq ft installation was completed in two days.
