Q: Do radon mitigation systems decrease home value?

• <div><p>No, radon mitigation systems do not decrease home value or make a home harder to sell. In areas where homes experience similar radon exposure risks, a radon mitigation system is viewed as an improvement. Potential homebuyers often opt to buy a home with a radon mitigation system already installed to reduce the risk of cancer for their families.</p></div>

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: 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>

Q: Will a tennis court affect my property taxes?

• <div><p>In most cases, installing a tennis court on your property will drive up your property taxes. Property taxes are determined, in part, based on improvements made to your property, which includes anything with a permanent foundation. Since most home tennis courts include a large concrete foundation, your property taxes will likely increase following the installation. A general rule of thumb is that if your project requires permits&mdash;like for a foundation or fencing for a tennis court&mdash;then your property taxes will be affected. </p></div>

Q: Does adding a second story increase a home’s value?

• <div><p>Adding a second story can increase the resale value of your home, but your cost-to-value ratio might not give you the return on investment (ROI) you were looking for. Also, there are factors to keep in mind that can impact the value of your home, such as market conditions, your neighborhood, curb appeal, and functionality. If you&rsquo;re hoping this project will give you a significant ROI, talk with a realtor to see what potential increase you can expect and what you can do to maximize your home&rsquo;s value. </p></div>

The people who run the place are Brooke Burr and Curtis Leonard. They were very professional and it was a very positive experience. Their follow-ups were excellent. The prices were pretty much non-negotiable due to the current market.
