I looks like most people are underinsured for what it would cost to rebuild should they sustain a total loss. If you are not insured 80% to value you will be hit with a co-insurance penalty. You will not find this out until you have a major loss.
Look over your policy and understand the Limitations and Exclusions before you have a claim.

The only thing I would add is there is no guarantee even from a well recognized company who has national coverage and a good track record that they will pay major claims without a lot of effort and possibly legal action. During hurricane Milton, many of my friends and neighbors had Progressive, AllState and others and they only wanted to pay a fraction of the cost to repair the roof and water damage. Many had to resort to legal action to get paid. So these days, just find a company with the least amount of complaints and a good rating and you should be fine.
