How it works
Mixed-age areas are where adjusters most often apply depreciation aggressively — knowing whether your policy is replacement cost or ACV on the roof is step one. Claims in an established neighborhood are evaluated house by house; your documentation is the whole case.
From aerial measurement of your specific roof, the home's age (built before 1980), and what you tell us. It's a number for your house, not an average for the neighborhood.
Under a replacement cost policy, no — the recoverable depreciation is only paid when the work is done. Under an ACV policy, you get the depreciated value and can do what you want, but it won't buy a new roof.
