Q: Does a garage add value to your property?

• <div><p>Having a garage installed certainly adds to the value of your home. The consideration is not whether it adds value, but for many, they want to know if adding a garage yields a return on their investment or ROI. While garages can add anywhere from 5% to 20% of the total value of your property, that doesn&rsquo;t mean that they return 5% to 20% of the money invested in building them. Most homeowners build garages for a purpose but know that you can recover your investment when you sell or refinance. </p></div>

Q: How do you price a fire-damaged home?

• <div><p>Pricing a fire-damaged house is tricky, and it&rsquo;s best to involve some professionals. First, get a comprehensive repair estimate from a fire damage restoration expert. Next, have a real estate agent get you an as-repaired value for the home, which represents what the house would be worth if fully repaired. Subtract the repair estimate from the as-repaired value to get the as-is value.</p></div>

Q: How much do you lose selling a house as-is?

• <div><p>In most cases, selling a home in as-is condition will lead to a sale price that&rsquo;s somewhere between 10% and 30% lower than normal. However, it&rsquo;s often worthwhile to sell at a loss because the alternative would be to pay for the repairs yourself, which could end up costing you more. Even if they didn&rsquo;t, selling as-is saves you from the time and energy you&rsquo;d spend coordinating the repairs.</p></div>

Q: How much does a kitchen remodel increase home value?

• <div><p>A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-a-kitchen-remodel-increase-home-value.htm">kitchen remodel can increase home value</a> significantly, with a return on investment (ROI) ranging from 50% to 80%. A well-executed kitchen remodel that enhances functionality, aesthetics, and energy efficiency attracts more buyers and commands a higher selling price. Smaller remodels can have a higher ROI, since less cost is invested than what would go into major or complete remodels while still offering valuable enhancements.</p></div>

Q: Are home improvement loan rates better during certain times of the year?

• <div><p>No, home improvement loan rates typically do not drop during certain times of the year. Interest rates go up and down based on economic conditions rather than on the time of the year. Some banks may offer slight rate discounts around the same holidays every year, but this is a marketing decision rather than a decision based on the time of the year. If you want to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-do-home-improvement-loans-work.htm">use a home improvement loan</a> to fund your remodeling project, the best option is to shop around at different banks for the best rates.</p></div>

We had a very negative experience with Matt Fratzel, and his one and only plumber, Kurt, that he sent to do some of the work. Matt told us his employee was "slow, but good". One problem we had was that not only was he slow, he also did not repair things correctly the first time. We had multiple...

Perfectly. They also installed gauges that work, and fixed an electrical problem that was plaguing the car for years. I will be returning for suspension work. These people are a real find. Not cheap but reasonable for what they do. Quick and professional. I can't say enough about Tallant's.
