Do new windows increase property taxes?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

Q: Are appraisals required for selling a property?

• <div><p>Appraisals are not mandatory but are helpful for pricing accuracy and negotiation purposes.</p></div>

Q: Does a fireplace add value to a home?

• <div><p>When built right, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-fireplaces-make-your-home-value-hot.htm">fireplaces increase the value of your home</a>. Fireplaces are both functional and aesthetically pleasing; home buyers will usually respond to the charm fireplaces can add. The only scenarios that could lead to a fireplace depreciating a property are the following: if it&rsquo;s in need of constant or immediate repair, is unusable, or isn&rsquo;t up to code. </p></div>

Q: Does wainscoting add value to a home?

• <div><p>Wainscoting isn&rsquo;t a design element that can be directly tied to an increased house price. Despite that, it is a highly marketable element that can generate significant interest from potential buyers who enjoy the style, and is relatively inexpensive to remove for those who don&rsquo;t. If you are on the fence about paneling, just know that it certainly wouldn&rsquo;t result in depreciation of your home&rsquo;s value&mdash;usually the opposite. </p></div>

Q: Do skylights add value to your home?

• <div><p>Yes, if you maintain and clean your skylights often, they will undoubtedly add value to your home. With the right frame material and glazing material for your climate, a skylight is attractive to buyers because it increases natural light and helps to reduce energy bills. With both aesthetic and monetary bonuses, skylights are a no-brainer for many people.</p></div>

As the seller's agent, I requested a quote, and forwarded that to the buyer. They did contract with them, but I had no further interaction. I was very impressed with his response to the request for a quote

We had a main waterline break at our Ranch Estate in Waiki'i Ranch and the plumber we usually call couldn't get us in so I found Calvin's based on good reviews. Here I am adding to another great review for the incredible and quick work done by Garrett with Calvin's Plumbing. Not only is Garrett...

The move went very well. Goods were delivered and unpacked in a timely manner. Just a few broken items but it's difficult to move and have every single thing make it in perfect condition. There are a lot of bad moving companies out there. This is a good one. They may cost more but they are the...
