Why this area changes the conversation
High replacement costs make percentage deductibles meaningful. Older raised foundations, soft-story conditions, and liquefaction zones should be documented in the application.
What carriers will want to know
- Dwelling limit, homeowners carrier, and homeowners expiration date.
- Construction, foundation, year built, number of stories, and slope or soil concerns.
- Retrofit completion, verification, bolting, bracing, and masonry components.
- Requested deductible, contents limit, loss of use limit, and building code upgrade limit.
