"Greg was good about informing me of what should be done to remedy issues and what I can do myself, if I feel confident in my abilities. Overall, it was a great experience and I would recommend Cornerstone. I wanted to note that I found out about Greg from a family member who was selling their house and the buyer used Greg. I was told by my family member that he hated Greg because he was so thorough and that I should use him to inspect my house when buying. This is a great compliment coming from a seller. I later found out our realtor used Greg when he purchased his house. I also just recommended Greg to another family member and they used Cornerstone, but got the other inspector. I was informed he did an excellent job as well. I have since followed up with Greg to ask about the best route for remedying certain issues and he called me back the same day and talked it over with me. "
This was a big deal purchase. It was great; we use him still. We use him for other properties we have. I was not there when in was done. I think he was probably on time.

A koi pond may add value to your home if it’s a feature sellers are looking for. Like pools, ponds can affect your property value depending on their condition, whether they’re a popular selling point, and how well they’re incorporated into your home’s landscape.
Whether or not new windows increase property taxes depends on where you live and by how much your upgrade increases your home’s value. Smaller projects likely won’t result in increased property taxes, but it’s always a good idea to err on the side of caution and check. Contact your local county appraisal department for the most accurate information about property taxes in your area.
The condition and appearance of your yard can affect your home appraisal value. A well-maintained, attractive yard with curb appeal adds to a property’s value, while an overgrown, messy, poorly maintained yard can hurt your home’s appraisal. Even small cosmetic improvements to your yard, like adding mulch, trimming trees, and cleaning out plant beds, can help your appraisal value.
While some aspects of an appraisal, such as comparable properties nearby, are out of your control, there are several steps you can take to potentially increase your home's value. Make any necessary repairs and upgrades before the appraiser's visit, as they can only value what is currently part of the home, not its potential. Examples include renovating older areas, updating landscaping to boost curb appeal, and staging your home. You can also provide the appraiser with the cost of recent upgrades, which may increase your home's value by about 50% or more of what you paid for those improvements.
If installing board and batten fixes an issue with the home, it could increase the value, but it isn’t commonly installed for that purpose. Board and batten is an aesthetic choice and, like most aesthetic choices, will do little to raise your home’s value. That being said, certain design elements can help attract more buyers, even if your home’s price won’t see a noticeable bump.
