Actual cash value and replacement cost behave very differently on an older Hayes Valley roof, and the policy wording decides which applies.
Square footage is only half the cost of a Hayes Valley roof; pitch, access and layer count move the number as much. Warranty terms affect the real cost of a Hayes Valley roof more than the headline figure does. Cheap Hayes Valley quotes usually skip the flashing. That is where the money is saved and where the next leak arrives. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
