My neighbor’s kitchen caught fire. Their insurance company put in an entire new kitchen in their house. Is that right?

If you neighbor had replacement cost coverage, then their insurance company did exactly what they were obligated to do – replace the damaged property.

True. Replacement cost coverage bears the cost to replace your property with similar items. It doesn't deduct anything for depreciation. It's certainly a good thing for the policy owner.

Replacement cost coverage is better than a replacement of the actual cost. Actual cost replacement coverage will reimburse you with an amount equivalent to what your actual cost was when you purchased it. On the other hand, replacement cost coverage will cover you for the current cost of the item.
