Are carports, sheds, and detached suites considered in the pre-storm value and the estimated cost of damage?
No, simple shed-roof style carports, sheds, and detached suites are not considered in determining the estimated cost of damage. However, these items are included when determining the pre-storm value because pre-storm value is based on the estimated market value of the property, which is what someone might have paid for the property prior to the storm.
