Q: Does an awning add value to a house?

• <div><p>Although the exact return on your investment will depend on the size, style, and quality of your awning, in general, awnings do add resale value to a house by providing more usable space. If an awning doesn&rsquo;t do much in the way of monetary gains due to its low installation costs, it promises to provide an excellent appeal factor to a potential home buyer. </p></div>

Q: Do countertops affect resale value?

• <div><p>Countertops play a significant role in determining your home's resale value. High-quality, stylish countertops can attract potential buyers and increase the overall appeal of your property. Desirable materials like granite, quartz, or marble often command a higher resale price. On the other hand, outdated or damaged countertops can deter buyers and lead to lower offers. Investing in attractive, durable countertops can be a smart move to boost your home's resale value.</p></div>

Q: What is the ROI on a popcorn ceiling?

• <div><p>Under the right circumstances, removing your popcorn ceiling can have a favorable ROI exceeding <b>80%</b>. The ROI depends on several factors, such as the size of your ceiling, where the texture is located in your home, the state of the housing market, and whether the ceiling contains asbestos. </p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a land survey and a land appraisal?

• <div><p>A land survey gives you information about the property boundaries, easements on the plot, dimensions, and, in some cases, topographical information. A land appraisal will often take these figures into account, but the purpose of a land appraisal is to determine the value of the land rather than the physical specifications.</p></div>

Brianna was great! We decided to use paint I had in the adjacent area and she made a suggestion that worked out real well. I'm very happy with how the paint job turned out, and will hire her again.
