# Guaranteed replacement cost

> What guaranteed replacement cost coverage on a homeowners policy pays for, how it can exceed your stated dwelling limit, and when it is worth the premium.

**Guaranteed replacement cost** pays whatever it actually costs to rebuild your home, even if construction costs exceed your coverage limit — subject to policy terms.

It is stronger than standard replacement cost and can be worth the extra premium when building costs rise quickly.
