Insurance companies pay roof claims in a variety of different ways. The two most common are replacement cost vs a roof schedule.

Replacement Cost: Pays to replace your roof at today's cost no matter the age (minus your deductible).

Scheduled Roof: Pays a percentage of the repair based on the age of your roof. It is usually based on the depreciated value of your roof.

Having a roof on full replacement cost vs on a schedule can be the difference in thousands of dollars come claim time, and many people don't know what kind of coverage they carry until it is too late!

See these numbers on your auto policy? 25/50/25

That is your liability coverage and in Alabama, these are the state minimum limits. Here's what that means:

$25,000 - Bodily injury limit per person
$50,000 - Bodily injury limit per accident
$25,000 - Property damage limit

Here's the catch: One serious accident can blow through these limits quickly, leaving you with the remaining expenses.

The good news: bumping the limits up is usually more affordable than you think! Curious about your current liability limits and additional options? Give me a call today!

πŸš— New teen driver this school year? Here's two things worth looking at:

Shop your auto coverage - Adding a young driver can move your rate a lot, and it varies between companies. I'll compare carriers to find your best fit.

Consider an umbrella policy - An umbrella policy is an extra layer of liability coverage on top of your auto limits. It is never a bad idea to look into if you have a young driver, especially when the roads are crowded during the school year.

I'd be happy to review your current coverage and find the best fit for you!

🌳 A little something I'm always glad to do: review my clients' policies at renewal.
Life changes, and coverage should keep up. As an independent broker, I look across several top carriers to make sure you've still got good coverage at a good rate, not just what auto renewed.

No pitch, no pressure. It's just part of taking care of the people I work with. You have a renewal coming up? Let's take a look.
