J Luppa and his team have one of the highest standards in the industry! From the fair and honest appraisal, to holding accountability to the timeline provided and even checking in weeks after the job has been completed. I highly recommend them for any home projects!

I had an antique maple wood rocking chair that had a broken leg. It was in my family for more than 50 years and so had sentimental value. Paul Martino fixed the leg and refinished it with the same color, a golden hickory, and a semi-gloss finish. He did a beautiful job for a good price. He even...

Antiques and Jewelry Appraisals questions, answered by experts

Appraisals are not mandatory but are helpful for pricing accuracy and negotiation purposes.

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.

Your home insurance company may allow you to use an appraisal instead of an inspection when you apply for coverage. Keep in mind that despite this, an appraisal is far less detailed than the different types of home inspections available and may not reveal potential risks that you’ll want to know about.

If installing board and batten fixes an issue with the home, it could increase the value, but it isn’t commonly installed for that purpose. Board and batten is an aesthetic choice and, like most aesthetic choices, will do little to raise your home’s value. That being said, certain design elements can help attract more buyers, even if your home’s price won’t see a noticeable bump.

In cases where an appraisal comes in lower than an offer price, sellers might opt to lower their asking price to meet the appraisal, especially if the market is slow, and replacing the offer with a higher one may take a long time. Sellers can also offer to make repairs to boost the appraised value, hire another appraiser to get a second opinion, or just move on to another offer that isn’t contingent on the buyer getting a mortgage or an appraisal inspection.
