"We highly recommend Rivertown Flooring!! Andy did two big jobs for us including tear out of existing g floors and installation of new wood flooring and trim. He was clear, responsiveness, and went above and beyond to make sure the jobs were done right. His work looks amazing and he has exceeded our expectations!"

"This was a great deal. We bought a $99 Angie's List package that included up to 2 hours of plumbing labor--and that is exactly what we got. We were preparing to sell our house, and the potential buyers wanted all of the plumbing "issues" that surfaced during their inspection fixed before closing, so we called Bob's to take advantage of this deal. They were very quick to call back and schedule the appointment; Terry (the contractor) showed up on time; and all of the work was completed very efficiently. I think it's important to note that Terry went the extra mile for us--some of the items on the list were vague descriptions of "potential" problems, and neither my husband nor myself could explain to Terry what the concern was. Terry took the time to talk to the person who had prepared the inspection report; figured out what needed to be done; left to get parts that he needed; and came back to complete the job. AWESOME customer service, if you ask me. We plan on using Bob's (and asking for Terry) again for any repairs that may surface in our new home!!
The only reason that I gave this company a "B" for professionalism is because we needed to show the buyer's proof of repairs, and had only been given a generic receipt (no letterhead, logo, etc.) with hand-written descriptions of what had been done. Not a big problem--our buyers were ok with it--but it could have been an issue if the buyers had wanted something that looked a bit more "official".
All in all, a great deal, great service, and I am very, very happy we went with this provider!

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.
