Q: Does a Trex deck increase home value?

• <div><p>Adding a deck is great for entertaining guests during the summer and can increase your home value. The ROI ranges between 60% and 70%, making building a deck one of the better home improvement projects if you plan to sell your home. The investment will also have a higher return if the deck adds square footage to your property.</p></div>

Q: Does a pergola add value to property?

• <div><p>Pergolas may have a 50% to 80% return on investment, whether they&rsquo;re standard, manual, motorized, or smart pergolas. Your pergola will add more value when you choose a structure made from durable, long-lasting materials and when the pergola is properly installed by a professional. Extra features like a motorized roof, smart louvers, and heaters or misters may give you a better ROI.</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: What is the difference between a land survey and a plat?

• <div><p>A land survey includes the layout of a single property, including precise measurements and to-scale drawings of boundary lines, land improvements, and sometimes other features, like topography and drainage information. A plat map includes the layouts and boundary lines of several adjacent plots and basic structure measurements. Surveys are normally more valuable for homeowners and buyers, and plat maps are for governmental use.</p></div>

Q: How long is an FHA appraisal good for?

• <div><p>An FHA appraisal is valid for 180 days from the effective date of the report. In some cases, you can have the appraisal recertified if you make your request before the original expires so that you still may obtain an FHA loan. If approved, your appraisal update is valid for one year.</p></div>

Our home inspector told us that we should have the foundation looked at, especially since most of the jacks were the "temporary" kind. Also, many of the beams for the first floor were altered to make way for utilities, had been shimmed, and many other short cuts fixes over the years. CT...

We received an estimate because the insulation qualified for a rebate program. The sales agent was great to work with. He took the construction style of the house into consideration. As an older house, it used the "balloon" technique where the exterior walls were built as one piece from the...

On short notice, the agent came out for what I thought was going to be an estimate. He took a look and let us know he had the time and parts to do the work right away. Once he found out that we were new to the area, he also gave some good local advice.
