Q: What is the difference between a land survey and a plat?

• <div><p>A land survey includes the layout of a single property, including precise measurements and to-scale drawings of boundary lines, land improvements, and sometimes other features, like topography and drainage information. A plat map includes the layouts and boundary lines of several adjacent plots and basic structure measurements. Surveys are normally more valuable for homeowners and buyers, and plat maps are for governmental use.</p></div>

Q: How do carports affect property value?

• <div><p>A carport's effect on property value can be positive or negative, depending on its condition and design. A high-quality, well-maintained carport can improve a home's selling appeal and may increase its value by a few percent, especially if it is thoughtfully designed with added utility like storage space or a workshop. However, a poorly-maintained carport in disrepair can have the opposite effect and detract from the home's sales appeal and value.</p></div>

Q: How does a community well affect my mortgage or insurance?

• <div><p>The age of the well, installation methods, and maintenance logs can affect your home insurance premiums and any potential future claim. Mortgage companies can request proof of water quality before they approve the loan. Review all well information, including the Shared Well Agreement, before you make an offer to purchase.</p></div>

Q: How often should I have my property appraised?

• <div><p>Typically during transactions or refinancing, or whenever significant improvements are made.</p></div>

"
My husband and I used this company on two separate occasions and were extremely happy with the results both times. He pressure washed our home both times, and the second time he also did our drive-way and 3-tier back deck. He spent a considerable amount of time on both of these projects, and the back deck looked transformed (we were getting ready to sell our home and our real estate agent was impressed).
