Q: Does a tile roof increase home value?

• <div><p>Yes, a tile roof will increase the value of your home more than an asphalt shingle roof. Not only do tile roofs look nicer and add more to your curb appeal, but buyers will understand that roof tiles last longer than most other materials, so they can expect minimal maintenance and a long roof lifespan after closing, which often means they&rsquo;ll be willing to pay more for a home with this roof option.</p></div>

Q: Do modular homes go up in value?

• <div><p>Modular homes can go up or down in value depending on a few factors. In areas where real estate is appreciating, the value of modular homes is likely to increase, and vice versa. Additionally, the value of modular homes depends partially on the area. In cities where every other home is stick-built, modular homes might be considered a functional obsolescence, in which case they could be less desirable and go down in value. In either case, though, modular homes can still be a good investment, especially since they provide housing at a lower upfront cost.</p></div>

Q: What factors are considered in an appraisal?

• <div><p>Factors considered in a property appraisal include its size, location, and overall condition, as well as recent comparable sales (comparables) and current market trends.</p></div>

Q: Does an RV garage add value to a home?

• <div><p>Yes, an RV garage can add value to a home. In most cases, homeowners can expect to see a return on investment (ROI) of 65% on a new RV garage. This isn&rsquo;t quite as high as a regular garage, but it still increases the value of your home.</p></div>

Q: How long is an FHA appraisal good for?

• <div><p>An FHA appraisal is valid for 180 days from the effective date of the report. In some cases, you can have the appraisal recertified if you make your request before the original expires so that you still may obtain an FHA loan. If approved, your appraisal update is valid for one year.</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).

"I had great service! The agent who did the faucets was very polite, and professional. He did a great job, our faucets are nice and sturdy. On the washing machine issue, the agents that arrived were also polite and professional. The agent said that the machine needed to be replaced. Fortunately, the coverage I had allowed me to be approved to purchase a new one! I guess I made the right (CHOICE HWS)"
