When shopping for homeowners insurance there are a number of different types of policies you can choose from to protect your home. Here is a quick rundown of the different types of insurance policies:

Dwelling Fire: This is a very basic, no frills homeowners policy. It offers extremely limited protection, only covering damage done by fire and smoke. You may be able to add wind, explosion, and vandalism damage to the list of covered perils.

This is usually the cheapest homeowners policy you can purchase because it offers such limited coverage. Dwelling Fire coverage is only a good idea if you have a home that is sitting empty.

HO-2: This policy is also called a named perils policy. In the policy wording it names all of the perils that are covered by the policy. If your home is damaged or destroyed by a peril not on that list, it is not covered.

While the perils named in these policies make up almost 90 percent of all homeowner insurance claims, there are perils that are not covered which leaves the chance that you could experience damage that is not covered, leaving you on the hook for those costs.

HO-3: This is considered the standard when it comes to homeowners insurance and is the most common type of homeowners policy in the market. These policies are typically referred to as “all risk” or “named exclusions” as they cover all perils except those that are specifically excluded in the policy wording. These are the most common policies that we sell and they offer robust coverage at an affordable price.

While the wording can vary between policies, most HO-3 policies list the following exclusions:

  • Ordinance of Law
  • Earth movement
  • Governmental Action
  • Nuclear Hazard
  • Power failure
  • War / military action
  • Water (Flood)
  • Inherent defects
  • Vermin

HO-4: These policies are designed specifically for renters. They are more commonly called renters insurance. These policies protect the possessions in your apartment or other rental as well as offering liability protection. An HO-4 can be used regardless of whether you are renting an apartment, condo, home or townhome. These policies are named perils policy. It covers the same 16 perils as the HO-2. Renters insurance is very affordable and is a must have coverage if you rent.

HO-5: These policies expand the coverage offered by a HO-3 policy and are typically written on more upscale, newer homes. These policies may not be available on older homes.

An HO-5 policy offers higher coverage limits for both the home and your possessions which makes them a great option for higher value homes. If you live in a home that qualifies for a HO-5 policy, they offer some of the best protection available.

Montebello, CA Dwelling Coverage Estimate

It is important to calculate your dwelling coverage for your home in Montebello so you know what type of homeowners insurance coverage you need to cover your replacement cost. It is recommended to have enough dwelling coverage to rebuild your home if it was destroyed by a covered peril.

Please remember that replacement cost coverage does not include the cost of the land, only the price to rebuild your home, which is why we like to help customers by answering a few questions that you may have.

What is the average replacement cost coverage in Montebello, CA?

- The average square footage in Montebello is around 1,519 Sq. Ft. which would cost you around $492,200 to replace the home if you base the home on the price to build per square foot of $324.

Minimum Replacement Cost Total: $492,200

Location: Montebello, California (Los Angeles County)

Average Building Cost Per Square Foot in Montebello: $324 (low end)

None or Very Minor Improvements$324$492,200
Some Additional Upgrades$405$615,250
Major Home Updates or Advancements$486$738,300

The dwelling coverage is calculated by the average cost per square foot ($324) in Montebello, California times your heated square footage. Which would equal the cost to rebuild your home minus the cost of the property or land. Some homes will have a higher replacement cost due to home improvements like updated kitchens and bathrooms. Other upgrades may include: granite countertops, hardwood floors and stainless steel appliances. The national square foot average to build a brand new home is around 2500 square feet.

What is the difference between actual cash value and replacement cost value?

Homeowners insurance is available in both actual cash value (ACV) and replacement cost value (RCV). Knowing the difference is important:

Actual cash value: When valuing your personal possessions, an actual cash value policy will take depreciation into account. This means that your 10-year-old TV will be basically worthless according to your insurance company. While an ACV policy tends to be cheaper, if you have to make a claim you may be disappointed in your claim payout.

Replacement cost value: A RCV policy will replace your possessions with brand new items of similar quality regardless of how old they were at the time they were destroyed. While RCV policies are slightly more expensive, they are well worth the cost if you have to make a claim.
