"We were very pleased with the appraisal service we got from North Coast Appraisal. They were prompt in scheduling the appointment for us, and the whole process was completed within a week. Eduardo was very professional and did a thorough job of inspecting and evaluating our property and the home on it. He also shared his knowledge with us and shared some ideas of possibilities for future use of the property, which was quite helpful."

"Hired to do valuation of a manufactured home - not on land. Gave appraisal comparison properties included land. therefore not an accurate valuation. Thought salesperson understood nuance."

"They were prompt, honest and very thorough while walking my property. The appraiser was extremely knowledgeable and attentive, even accepting of our 2 large breed St. Berdoodle dogs, who wanted nothing more but the appraisers attention. One of the best professional experiences I have had to date."

"I sent out bids for an appraisal of my home's value and received several call backs, but Todd spent the most time with me on the phone and I thought his advice made sense, so I contracted with him to do the appraisal. He came out and did a personal inspection, kept me apprised of his progress and I was overwhelmed and very pleased with the scope and quality of his work. He also withheld cashing my check until the project was complete. I highly recommend Todd and Wright Residential Appraisal"

"I worked exclusively with Ms. Crystal MacHale. Her business was one of about 4-5 referred to me for a real property retrospective appraisal. Rainier Appraisal Service LLC was the first company to contact me. Ms. McHale was very pleasant, answered all of my questions and was able to perform the appraisal in a couple of days. However, I did reach out to other companies who provided quotes, but their dates did not coincide with the needed time frame. The fees were all about the same. Experience and previous reviews were instrumental in my decision. I enjoyed Ms. McHale's follow up and ability to provide a comprehensive report. Thank you, Ms. McHale for your excellent customer service."

"Todd was courteous and efficient. On the day it was promised, he was caught on the interstate in an extended traffic jam, and could not complete the appraisal during the afternoon as planned. He worked into the night to send it to me by email before the night was over, and he sent regular progress reports to keep me posted."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

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. 

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.

The entire appraisal process takes from seven to 10 days. This timeline accounts for the many steps of the appraisal process, including the post-inspection report completed by the appraiser.

Home appraisal services include the following tasks:

  • Inspect home interior and exterior

  • Evaluate materials, features, fixtures, and renovations

  • Review comparable properties

  • Write an appraisal report

Yes, built-in bookshelves can be worth the investment and can add value to your home, especially when constructed from high-quality, timeless materials like luxury hardwood. They offer a practical and stylish storage solution that utilizes wall space effectively. While they cost more than store-bought units, the custom fit and potential to increase your property's resale value make them a desirable feature for many buyers, particularly for homeowners with large book collections. For the best return on investment, consider having them professionally built.

Mobile homes weigh anywhere between 45 to 50 pounds per square foot. Some newer options weigh up to 70 pounds per square foot.
