Does your yard affect an appraisal?

• <div><p>The condition and appearance of your yard can affect your home appraisal value. A well-maintained, attractive yard with curb appeal adds to a property’s value, while an overgrown, messy, poorly maintained yard can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-hurts-home-appraisal.htm">hurt your home’s appraisal</a>. Even small cosmetic improvements to your yard, like adding mulch, trimming trees, and cleaning out plant beds, can help your appraisal value.</p></div>

Q: Does a new roof add value to a home?

• <div><p>Yes, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-new-roof-increase-home-value.htm">a new roof will add value to your home</a>, often providing a return on investment (ROI) of between <b>60% and 70%</b>. Not only will a new roof boost curb appeal, but savvy homebuyers will also know that a new roof means they won&rsquo;t have to worry about roof leaks and related damage for years after closing. They&rsquo;ll also know that they&rsquo;ll save money by potentially having decades before they need to worry about paying for repairs or replacement.</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: What types of repairs should I make before scheduling an appraisal?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s often a good idea to take care of any health and safety <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-improve-appraisal-value.htm">repairs before an appraisal</a> to make sure the mortgage can move to underwriting without having to pay for another appraisal. Replace any broken glass, fix uneven or sloping floors, ensure all steps have appropriate handrails, and have a professional get rid of mold, asbestos, and lead paint. Beyond these repairs, you can update appliances or fixtures and focus on aesthetic improvements like new paint to add the most value before scheduling an appraisal.</p></div>

Q: Will ceiling height impact value when selling your home?

• <div><p>Yes, high ceilings can increase your home value when it&rsquo;s time to sell. There are other factors that are more impactful, like your home&rsquo;s location and condition, but homes with high ceilings have a greater perceived value than ones with average ceiling heights. Buyers like the extra space and modern vibe that vaulted ceilings offer.</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.
