To get a good idea of how much it will cost to rebuild your home, you should consider the age, materials and size of the house before choosing a dwelling coverage amount. You may also consider extended or guaranteed replacement cost coverage, which can help cover additional rebuilding costs if they are higher than anticipated by the dwelling coverage you have on your policy.
It is advisable to buy enough dwelling coverage to cover the cost of rebuilding your home. Remember that the dwelling coverage should be based on what it would cost to rebuild, not just how much your house is worth now. You can get help from an appraiser or insurance agent to calculate your dwelling coverage needs.
