HO-3 quote questions
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Does the quote include replacement cost? | ACV on the roof or contents can make a lower premium less useful. |
| Which deductible applies to the likely peril? | The Texas risk mix should be checked against the deductible page. |
| Are ordinance or service-line endorsements included? | Older homes may need optional wording. |
| Is the insured name correct? | Trust, estate, or co-owner situations can affect evidence of coverage. |
Practical note
For a Texas HO-3 quote, compare the policy form, deductible wording, and endorsement list before comparing only the premium.
