make sure you protect it with the right insurance. Did you know the cost to replace your home could be much more than it cost to build — and you could be on the hook for the difference?
Whether it would cost more to replace because you’ve made major up- grades that increased the value of your home or sim- ply because the price of building materials and labor has increased, you’ll need to come up with the ad- ditional funds or find ways to reduce costs. That’s why guaranteed replacement cost coverage, offered by insurers like Erie Insurance, is so important. If you ex- perience a total loss of your home, this coverage allows you to rebuild it back to its previous size and specifica- tions at today’s cost, sub- ject to certain conditions.
To give you a better idea of the importance of insur- ance coverage that helps you protect the invest- ments you make, consider the top three remodeling projects for the interior and exterior offering the best return on investment.

worn-out surfaces and to improve livability, accord- ing to the 2022 Remodeling Impact Report by the Na- tional Association of REAL- TORS Research Group. At 147%, it also tops the list for the No. 1 interior proj- ect for what homeowners can recover on the cost of the project if they sell the home, based on estimates
from NARI Remodelers and REALTORS.
2. Installing new wood flooring
The average cost recov- ered for this project is 118%. Surprisingly though, it was the No. 1 feature homeown- ers surveyed by Erie Insur- ance say they got when they bought their home but wouldn’t choose again.
When asked why, reasons ranged from feeling the feature was not worth the money, to being tired of it or feeling the feature is out- dated now.
3. Insulation upgrade
This is a popular project if you’re looking to improve energy efficiency, and at 100%, it has a high cost re- covery value.
