Is an A-frame home cheaper to build than a traditional house?

• <div><p>An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between <b>$100 to $200 per square foot</b>, which is comparable to the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-build-house.htm">cost of a traditional home</a>. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.</p></div>

Q: What causes the cost of homeowners insurance to increase?

• <div><p>Insurance companies weigh the amount of potential liabilities on your property to increase (or decrease) the cost of your home insurance. They will use several factors to decide if there are more chances for peril or injury to take place at your home. These factors include your location (whether you live in an area with high risk for natural disasters), the age and condition of your home, and whether you have any &ldquo;attractive nuisances&rdquo;&mdash;features that both increase the aesthetic of your home and potential for injury&mdash;like a pool or treehouse. </p></div>

Q: How can I find a trustworthy appraiser?

• <div><p>Some appraisers hold a Member of the Appraisal Institute designation. This accolade is the highest credential property appraisers can earn. An MAI appraisal is typically used for commercial properties.</p><p>While your lender will likely recommend an appraiser, you can also hire a professional home appraiser on your own. Choose someone who is experienced in your type of residential property, and ensure they hold all of the necessary credentials that your state or region requires.</p></div>

Q: Do sheds increase home value?

• <div><p>While sheds are most certainly helpful for most homeowners, unfortunately, sheds do not add value to a home or property in the traditional sense. However, if the home has limited storage or garage space, having a shed to store things like decorations or lawn equipment can certainly be a positive if you want to sell. </p></div>

Q: Can the architect of my house help me determine when it was built?

• <div><p>Consulting the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-architect-cost.htm">architect</a> of your house is not the best way to determine when it was built. Many homes are built by developers or builders, so there may not be a specific architect to track down&mdash;especially if you have a very old house. Instead, it&rsquo;s best to rely on local government records. </p></div>
