"Richard was amazing. We had been away from home for several months and returned to a complete nightmare in our basement. The entire floor was buckled in the two rooms on the finished side of the space and there was black mold growing up all the walls. I called NE Renovations after reading their reviews on Angie's list and within a few hours Richard, the owner of the company, was at my house assessing the situation. He informed me that the problem was caused by a failing water tank on my furnace, which seemed obvious after he said it, but would have never occurred to me. He let me know that my homeowners insurance would likely cover the damage, again something I had never considered, and then offered to work with my adjuster. From the moment I hired NE Renovations to do the work, Richard was available to deal with anything that came up. I've worked with a lot of contractors over the years and have never had an experience like this. Richard was there when the adjuster did the inspection, undoubtedly paving the way for the smooth experience we had with our claim and communicated with us every step of the way to make sure we understood what was happening and why. Because they were dealing with mold removal, an extreme amount of care went into the demolition process and Richard always kept us informed about the safety of the environment. He always followed through on what he said he would do when he said he would do it. His team was skilled, professional and considerate. They used high quality materials and did high quality work. Our basement looks better than it ever did before the damage occurred. I can't imagine how the experience could have been better. We will never use another company to do work that NE Renovations can do."

Property Appraiser FAQs, answered by experts

While a finished basement adds value to your home, it is assigned a different value than space on the main floors. An appraiser will assess the square footage of a finished basement at about 50% to 60% of the value of the square footage for the rest of your home. Appraisal value for a finished basement depends on your location’s real estate market and the specifics of the basement and how it was finished. 

Depending on the size of the home, the appraisal itself can take several hours. After the appraiser’s visit is complete, it can take between a few days and a few weeks to get the report back. This timeline is largely dependent on the appraiser’s workload, research requirements, efficiency, and other factors.

A property valuation, sometimes called a comparative market analysis or CMA, provides a real estate expert’s opinion on how much your property will sell for. It takes many things into consideration, like the condition and location of the home, but ultimately, all that matters for a property valuation is what a buyer might be willing to pay for the property. An appraisal is more concerned with determining the value. A valuation is to estimate what you’ll get for a property, while an appraisal helps a lender establish loan-to-value ratios and loan amounts.

Whether or not new windows increase property taxes depends on where you live and by how much your upgrade increases your home’s value. Smaller projects likely won’t result in increased property taxes, but it’s always a good idea to err on the side of caution and check. Contact your local county appraisal department for the most accurate information about property taxes in your area. 

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’s energy efficiency, especially if you choose PVC or faux wood shutters, which will lead to long-term savings on your energy bills.
