Q: Do estate shutters increase home value?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;s energy efficiency, especially if you choose PVC or faux wood shutters, which will lead to long-term savings on your energy bills.</p></div>

Q: What can go wrong when buying a house?

• <div><p>From the underwriter to the home inspector, the team working to help you buy a house is there to make sure it is a sound financial decision and that the house is worth what you're paying for it. </p><p>A sale can fall through when a mortgage lender discovers the cost of the home plus closing costs is too high for your current financial status. Another potential issue is that an inspector or appraiser can find issues with the home that halt the sale if the offer is far higher than what it's worth.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: Do basement bedrooms count on an appraisal?

• <div><p>Basement bedrooms can count toward your room count and the square footage of your home on an appraisal if they&rsquo;re fully legal, which means they have proper ventilation and points of egress, as defined by your local building code. Simply partitioning off a space for a bedroom in an otherwise unfinished basement that isn&rsquo;t a legal living space won&rsquo;t affect your appraisal value.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a cottage and a Craftsman house?

• <div><p>While Craftsman-style houses are bungalows, cottages typically aren&rsquo;t, though they can be. But they also differ in other stylistic aspects. For instance, cottages usually have simpler designs and painted woodwork.</p></div>

Q: How much can I borrow for a home addition?

• <div><p>While there&rsquo;s technically no limit to the dollar amount you can borrow for a home addition, the standard limit is around 80% of the value the addition is expected to add to your home. That means you could feasibly borrow up to $80,000 if an appraiser determines that the addition or bump out will add $100,000 in value to your property. You might also be limited by your debt-to-income ratio or credit score.</p></div>

No nails at all left in yard. Tarps around the entire yard first. Many roofers in our neighborhood because of hail damage. This guy WAS THE BEST and lapped the rest! He was also the fastest by far. Real unbelievable to this day. I even had a problem with the Mortgage company cosigning an...

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.
