What you should know about Liberty Mutual policies in MO/KS

Liberty Mutual writes both RCV and ACV policies in MO/KS. Their newer policies often include a 'roof age depreciation schedule' that aggressively depreciates roofing and gutters over 10+ years.

⚠ Common Liberty Mutual pitfall in KC:
Liberty Mutual is known for aggressive depreciation on roofs/gutters older than 10 years. If your gutters are 15+ years old, you may receive only 30-50% of replacement cost as the initial check, with the rest released after you complete the work.

Tips for getting a fair Liberty Mutual settlement

  • Get a contractor inspection BEFORE filing - their app's auto-estimate is notoriously low
  • Document gutter age - if under 10 years, you should get near-full replacement cost
  • Liberty Mutual's adjuster portal accepts contractor estimates as supplements - submit promptly
  • If you have a Liberty Mutual auto policy with bundled discount, mention this when calling - sometimes routes to a priority queue
