The price was very reasonable so I called them to ask a few questions. I spoke with Frank, the manager of Tornado Tough. He was very talkative and friendly on the phone. We agreed on a shelter, and he spent at least a half an hour taking my details and credit card information for the deposit. We set a date for the work to begin. When that date approached, I called to see if we were still on schedule, and he told me he was running behind so we pushed the installation to the next week. When the day came, his crew showed up with a small excavator. I didn't meet Frank. I haven't been able to reach him since the initial call. More about that later. The crew began cutting into my garage floor to dig out the concrete and dirt. I wanted to watch, but there is a policy in the contract stating Tornado Tough does not allow anyone to watch the work being performed because it causes their installers nervousness. They're digging a giant hole in my foundation, and I'm contractually obligated to not watch. Altogether, it took about six or seven hours to complete the job. They cut a rectangle into my garage floor with concrete saws, they removed the dirt with the excavator, and they inserted the "high quality, premier line of storm shelter" into the hole and began pouring concrete to lock it in. The contract states they will "make an effort to make sure that the existing concrete floor and drive way do not crack during installation of your storm shelter." It goes on to say "Tornado Tough is not responsible for concrete blemishes that occur during the installation process." So all I could do was hope and pray they didn't screw something up while I contractually wasn't allowed to watch the installation. At the end of the day, it looked pretty good. There were a few cracks in the concrete, but nothing I was upset about. They packed up their equipment and drove away. Fast forward four short months, and the outside of the shelter is already rusting away. The paint is chipping and giant rust spots are forming on the top. At no point during the conversations with Frank did he tell me I would have to paint the outside exterior of the shelter every couple months to prevent rust. The contract states they are not responsible for water entering the shelter. It doesn't say anything about the outside of the shelter rusting. I tried calling, texting, and emailing Frank at Tornado Tough, but he has never answered or responded. Once the sale and installation was complete, he completely disappeared. He never called to make sure I was happy with the installation. He didn't leave me with any maintenance tips to keep the shelter free of rust. The contract has a little section with a limited life-time warranty that says I shouldn't let moister or debris settle INSIDE the shelter. It says I should maintain the interior paint to keep it free from rust. It says I should grease the roller bearings on the door every 6 months, and it says I'm responsible for keeping the unit painted and keeping water out of the shelter. I really wish he had stressed the importance of having to repaint the OUTSIDE of the shelter every couple months to prevent rust. The inside of my shelter looks fine, but now the outside looks like a rusty antique trap-door in the middle of my garage floor. It only took a matter of weeks for the High Quality storm shelter to start rusting away. I must not have gotten one of the "Premier Line of Storm Shelters" for which I though I purchased. Again, I've tried calling, texting, and emailing. No one has responded. I called from a friend's phone number, and guess what...Frank Answered. I told him I'm interested in purchasing a storm shelter, but I have a few questions. I started with "How often will I need to repaint the shelter to prevent rust." He paused for a moment and said "That's a really good question." He went on and on about some story of a soccer mom parking a minivan on top a shelter. I have no clue where he was going with that, but he did not once provide an answer as to how often the shelter needs to be painted. He just wanted to sell an unsuspecting customer another rusty metal box in the purpose of "protecting my family." Morel of the Story --> Tornado tough will sell you a rust-prone shelter and dig a big hole in your garage. You can't watch the installation, and they're not responsible for ANYTHING going wrong. After the transaction is complete, Tornado Tough will not respond to any questions or concerns. All I want to know is how often I should have to repaint the outside of the shelter. The shelter has a web address cut into the outside of the door that also serves as the vent. The web address, SSCNWA.COM does not currently exist on the internet. Be sure to ask every question possible before the sale is final. Tornado Tough Frank isn't going to warn you about the monthly maintenance required to keep the shelter's exterior from rusting.

Unfortunately, he either mismeasured or miscalculated my home's living space by over 1,000 square feet. That's a lot for a home that has just under 3,000 square feet. We worked with our lender to attempt to get this corrected. After a very trying ordeal, they had the appraiser update the report according to the county courthouse records. The problem is, they didn't include a new building (he accounted for a garage but not added living space). As a result, our loan was cancelled, and we lost our deposit. The appraiser comes to your home to personally measure, largely because the county records are often wrong or (as in our case) out of date. This appraiser's figures didn't come close to matching an appraisal we had done in 2008. Furthermore, we completed another mortgage with a new lender and new appraiser. This new appraiser's figures matched the report from 2008, further verifying that Ameri-home Appraisal of NWA didn't get this right (off by about 500 square feet). I know appraisal work can have its subjective estimates, but the square footage of the home is not one of them. The least he could've done is revisit the home and remeasure for an accurate baseline."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ar/bentonville/ameri-home-appraisal-of-nwa-reviews-7335608.htm"},"position":8}]}

Things went very well, Ron did not have a minimum requirement and as we had no large valuable items or jewelry, ours was a small sale. He let us know that in advance. He did everything when he said he would, punctual returning calls when he was not immediately available. He and his crew...

The whole process was outstanding, from my initial call to the completion of the job. I called for an appointment one morning and a representative met with me in the afternoon. He surveyed the house, both in the attic and under the house to appraise the current status and sketch a draft of...

"It went great! We found Fisher Precious Metals on Angie's List, and after googling them, we found they had very positive reviews across the web. Although it was a 45 minute drive from our home, we felt it might be worth it, and it was. We made an appointment with John via email, arrived at 11:00, and spent just over an hour in his office. He evaluated the sterling silver set we had to sell and gave us what we felt was a very fair price. He'd given us an estimate on the value of the gold coins via email, and although the price of gold had fluctuated since he'd provided the quote, the final price was very, very close to the initial quote. We were happy to learn that they will also buy jewelry, as I have a few pieces I haven't worn in a very long time. We were very pleased with the entire experience and will definitely return to their company when we have gold or silver to sell, and we're happy to recommend them to our friends. One thing to keep in mind is that sterling silver sets are basically worth the price of the silver itself. We knew that going in, so we were not disappointed and, in fact, the price we received was a little higher than we'd expected."

Antiques and Jewelry Appraisals questions, answered by experts
Xeriscaping can absolutely increase your home value, but the return on investment (ROI) depends on where you live and how prevalent xeriscaping is in your area. In drought-prone climates, xeriscaping can boost your curb appeal and make your home more appealing to buyers due to the reduced maintenance and watering costs. However, in areas where xeriscaping isn’t the norm, some buyers may be willing to pay less for a xeriscaped property if they don’t like the appearance.
In most cases, you can expect home automation to boost your home value. This technology makes the homeowner’s life easier and more comfortable, and some provide increased safety and protection. Buyers will likely recognize value in security systems and utility monitors, as well as comfort-focused upgrades that save on electric bills while keeping interior rooms at the desired temperature and humidity. On average, you can expect a 50% and 75% return on investment on home automation services, and potentially even more if the automation reduces homeowner’s insurance.
Mobile homes weigh anywhere between 45 to 50 pounds per square foot. Some newer options weigh up to 70 pounds per square foot. An average single-wide mobile home weighs 45,000 pounds, and a double-wide mobile home weighs about 70,000 pounds. Triple-wide mobile homes range from 90,000 to 100,000 pounds.
In cases where an appraisal comes in lower than an offer price, sellers might opt to lower their asking price to meet the appraisal, especially if the market is slow, and replacing the offer with a higher one may take a long time. Sellers can also offer to make repairs to boost the appraised value, hire another appraiser to get a second opinion, or just move on to another offer that isn’t contingent on the buyer getting a mortgage or an appraisal inspection.
Typically during transactions or refinancing, or whenever significant improvements are made.
