No. Sad to say, they are NOT paying replacement value at all. So far I've gotten about $70,000. About $15,000 went for the rip out demolition. Not the demolition of the house. The bank has the rest of it. Each engineer will be about $5,000. The lawyer is getting a LOT that he didn't earn. The money is flying out the door at a mind boggling pace with nothing to show for it. I got $6100 for a new roof and new garage door and roof. Maybe I could get them made out of cardboard at that price. Not even going to talk about the contents settlements. The bottom line is you have to fight for every last penny.
