So do we need to call the insurance provider and ask them to revalue our home. I would hate to have a lightning strike and not have adequate coverage.
I think that most insurance policies cover replacement value. In that case, it is the insurance company that increases the covered amount when you renew the policy. But, if you have actual value coverage, you would need to make sure that you have enough coverage to replace your house.
