Insurance in Seward: the local picture
Living here in Seward, you know our homes have character, with a median age of 68 years. That means many of us are in older, traditional frame houses. When severe weather hits, especially our frequent hail, getting a roof replaced isn't always straightforward. You're not just fixing damage; you might be looking at bringing things up to modern building codes, which can drive up replacement costs. That's why strong dwelling coverage is essential, and considering 'ordinance or law' coverage is smart – it helps cover those extra expenses to meet current codes during a repair.
