The insurance company uses a depreciation calculator, which deducts replaceable value determined by the age of the carpet.

What is non-recoverable depreciation?
Non-Recoverable depreciation is depreciation that is not recoverable, that is the obvious answer. In most states a standard Replacement Cost Policy will pay an insured for the replacement cost minus deprecation. As long as you replace the item within a specified amount of time which is typically anywhere from 90 days to a year, you will be able to recover the amount that was depreciated. In a Actual Cash Value type policy this depreciation is NOT recoverable. It is very important to know what type of policy you have before you need it!
Does Arkansas homeowners insurance laws have a depreciation on roofs Years ago in Arkansas there was no depreciation on homeowner policies for the roofs just wondering if that was still law?
Depreciation is determined by the policy and not the "insurance laws" If your policy has "replacement cost" benefit, there is no depreciation taken at the time of a claim. If your policy has "actual cash value" benefit, there is depreciation taken off your settlement at the time of a claim.
If you are able to get your house reroofed for less than the actual cash value are you still intitled to the recoverable depreciation?

Are driveways non recoverable depreciation?

If your adjusters check is more than the repair cost what do you do?
If there is recoverable depreciation involved in the claim then when you send your adjuster the invoice showing the amount for repairs was less, they will subtract the difference between the adjusters check, and the amount of your invoice, from the recoverable depreciation amount. Lets say your adjuster estimate the repairs to be $1,000 RCV and they with held $500 in depreciation. So they cut you a check for $500 with the remaining $500 withheld in recoverable depreciation. If you show them that you completed the repairs for less than $500 then they will not return any of the other $500 they withheld for depreciation as you got the repairs completed for less. If you showed then you got the repairs completed for say $800 then they would release $300 of the $500 they were holding and keep the remaining $200. If you showed them the repairs cost the full $1,000 they estimated for the will release the full $500 they were withholding in depreciation. If there is not recoverable depreciation withheld then forgot everything you just read and keep the change.
