Guaranteed replacement cost coverage provides additional protection beyond the limits of standard replacement cost. With this endorsement included, the insurance company agrees to pay the full cost to rebuild or repair your home to its pre-loss condition regardless of the policy’s coverage limits.

You need to read the wording of your insurance policy to understand if the insurance provider is limiting or offers a certain percentage beyond the standard replacement cost when covering the difference in costs.

For example if your home is insured for $800,000 with Guaranteed Replacement Cost coverage, and after a total loss from fire it costs $860,000 to rebuild the home, the insurance company will cover the entire rebuilding cost, even thought it exceeds the policy’s coverage limit. There may be exclusions or limitations, but that’s why you need to read your insurance documents and speak with your broker/agent.
