Helping others find their new home is a huge responsibility and one that I don't take lightly. Real estate is an investment. When shopping for a new home, I take pride in advising my clients based on their personal goals and expected outcomes. While no real estate agent can predict everything that could happen in a home, I can spot things that other agents may not be able to. I grew up with a father in the HVAC field, and he did a lot of construction on the weekends. I learned things to look for and any hidden damages. Choosing me to help you purchase your next home just makes sense.

We started as a rental property/landlord company in 2007. After having countless issues with finding reliable, reasonable and ethical contractors, we started our own contracting service. We understand the problems homeowners face in finding a skilled contractor who will provide a timely bid, follow through with the timeline presented and charge according to promised bid or hourly rate. Greg Schenck has worked in all facets of home improvement for 20 years and if not directly doing the improvements himself, is on site to supervise any contracted labor directly, working alongside them. All labor costs are communicated up front with bids in writing and all receipts for materials are provided directly to the homeowner (no loading material costs). We are partnered with a real estate appraisal firm which provides consulting services to assist homeowners in determining which improvements will add value to a home and which may not.

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

Estate shutters are considered a high-end window treatment that increases home value. As previously mentioned, this project comes with an ROI of up to 75%. Shutters can also improve your home’s energy efficiency, especially if you choose PVC or faux wood shutters, which will lead to long-term savings on your energy bills.

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. 

Wainscoting isn’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’t. If you are on the fence about paneling, just know that it certainly wouldn’t result in depreciation of your home’s value—usually the opposite. 

The cost to appraise a home depends on the type. Common types include:

  • Single-family homes: $300–$400

  • FHA or VA single-family homes: $400–$500

  • Condominium: $300–$500

  • Multi-family home: $500–$1,000

  • Apartment building: $1,500–$3,000

  • Commercial properties: $1,400–$10,000

  • Raw land: $1,000–$8,000

While parts of the appraisal are out of your control, there are some things you can do to potentially raise the home’s value. You can make necessary repairs and upgrades before the appraiser visits—an appraiser can only value what is currently part of the home, not its potential. You can also provide the appraiser with the cost of recent upgrades. The appraiser will likely increase the value of your home by about 50% or more of what you paid for those improvements.
