No, nobody ever asks us to insure only one end of his house against fire, windstorm, etc. But, In effect, many peoph DO carry insurance on only a fraction of their property. We mean, they carry only a percentage perhaps or or as much insurance as they should.

They insured their property when property was worth much less. Insurance should be carried not on original cost, but on present replacement costs, less depreciation. (This depreciation is normally very little for well maintained property.) This insurance question is very important to you as a property owTier. Bring your insurance problems to us, gladly help you.
