The short answer

Standard HO-3 pays roof damage at replacement cost. Many carriers (especially in FL, TX, LA, and hail-belt states) now attach ACV endorsements on roofs 10–20 years old — you get depreciated value, not new. Some non-renew at 25+ years unless you replace.

Frequently asked

What's an ACV roof endorsement?
Pays depreciated value of the roof, not replacement cost. Can mean 50–70% less on an old roof.
