Insurance in Maitland: a local agent's take
Living here in Maitland, we know our homes are more than just houses – they're part of our history. With many properties built around 1950, you've likely got a charming place that might need some modern updates. That's why it's crucial to make sure your homeowner's policy has adequate dwelling coverage, especially 'replacement cost value.' If something happens, you want to be sure you can rebuild to today's codes, not just what it cost back in the day. Given the age of our housing stock, roofs are a big consideration; make sure you're covered for potential replacement costs, as they're often at or beyond their expected lifespan.
