"How to evaluate? Don't know. Wouldn't know if it was a great appraisal or not so great. Don't have the report and even if I did, I wouldn't know other than what the appraiser told me. Always try to be fair with these surveys but the questions are unanswerable, i.e., would you recommend? Nobody's going to ask me to recommend an appraiser so how do I answer?"

"I was very pleased with the professional service I received from G.N.O. Appraisal Services. Mr. Kimball responded to my inquiry quickly and he even went to my property on the same day. He communicated via email because I requested it and he quickly responded to each one. Their turn-around time was quick and the presentation of the appraisal was polished, detailed and professional. Thank you very much G.N.O. Appraisal Services, I�ll be contracting your services again!"

"I hired Fiels Appraising South for an appraisal on my home. Nicholas scheduled me in promptly, arrived on time as scheduled, did an inspection, then returned with a complete report comparing several properties to mine. I found this to be a great value for the cost as the appraisal came in high enough to suit my needs. I found Nicholas to be friendly and super professional, and this service was done within his fair and competitive estimate. Thank you, Nicholas!"

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.
