"Did what was requested in a timely manner. No hassles which is exactly what a person needs when dealing with the loss of a spouse. This was specific for an estate appraisal. Not an appraisal to buy real estate. This is for estate tax purposes which is different. Thank you."

"I contacted Distinctive Painting through Angie's List, and Mario called me back promptly to make an appointment to come to my home. We settled on a day and time to view the stained ceilings on the first floor of my townhouse (due to ice dam damage) and give me an estimate. He arrived on time, looked at what needed to be done, and told me he would e-mail me a written estimate within a few days. However, I received the estimate the very next day, and thought it was very fair. Since it was a very busy time of the year for him, he said he could only give me an approximate date to do the work which was the first or second week of July. Once again, Mario was ahead of schedule, and he contacted me to make an appointment for Friday, July 3. He and Jay arrived on time at 8:00 A.M., and by 2:00 P.M., the painting was completed. They were meticulous in making sure all my furniture, counters, etc. were well covered, and helped me move all the breakable items out of harm's way. The finished ceilings looked beautiful, and I was very pleased with their work, friendliness, and professionalism. I highly recommend this company, and would most definitely use them again.

"Sal Marino did an excellent job explaining the coverages, etc of your home warranty. While being knowledgeable and professional he was not that pushy, annoying salesperson type that normally turns us off to the deal and yet he made the sale. We appreciated his help."
You can estimate a bathroom addition’s value between 10% to 20% of a home’s value. But this also accounts for extra square footage since homes with more bathrooms tend to have more space. When considering adding one, you should know that a bathroom generally adds only $5,000 to an appraisal price initially, with adjustments made for other factors like local home values.
Garages increase a property’s value by about 80% of the build price. The national average cost to build a garage is $23,900.
However, on an appraisal, a garage contributes to the whole rather than as a part. For example, if you have a garage, your appraiser then tries to compare it to nearby homes with garages, which often have a higher value.
A bedroom can add anywhere from $10,000 to $25,000 or more to an appraisal. It depends heavily on the size of the bedroom, the overall home’s value, the location, and what amenities it might include (like a walk-in closet).
A drive-by appraisal usually costs $100 to $150. For a drive-by appraisal, the appraiser only visually assesses the home's exterior, in addition to reviewing the real estate records on the home and comparing it to nearby homes.
An FHA appraisal costs between $400 and $700. Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loans are usually less strict, so the appraisals are often more affordable. VA appraisal fees range from $425 to $900 for a single-family home. Compared to FHA loans, VA loans can be more involved.
A home appraiser will look at the real estate paperwork related to the home, but they will also do an exterior and interior assessment. Reviews include the square footage of the home and/or acreage of the lot, the age and condition of the home, construction materials used, the general state of the economy and local market, and the design and style of the home, along with any special features it may have. While an appraiser won’t be as thorough as a home inspector, they will likely notice very obvious problems and defects.
