You can talk to a local contractor about per-foot rebuilding costs in your area, or pay a few bucks to use sites such as <a href="http://www.accucoverage.com/" rel="nofollow">AccuCoverage</a> (recommended by United Policyholders) or <a href="http://www.homesmartreports.com/ReportOrder.aspx" rel="nofollow">Home Smart Reports</a>, which is a bit cheaper and faster but less detailed. I'd review your coverage every couple of years or after any significant remodel.

Thank you. Three questions on rebuilding costs: 1) What type of business would provide rebuilding at current construction cost quotes? I'm not sure who to contact. 2) What exactly should a thorough rebuilding quote include? 3) How often should you have a rebuilding quote done, and what is a fair price to pay for it? Thank you, Liz.
