Full array of remodeling services and new construction. We also provide insurance reconstruction and are a focused design build corporation, call today for your free estimate!

"We purchased a new home that Lou was building in Smithfield while it was being framed. Even though the home was not a custom build, Lou treated it like it was. We added quite a few upgrades along the way and he entertained every one of them with enthusiasm. The craftsmanship and overall quality of work was second to none. His son built our field stone fireplace that came out beautiful. He always went out of his way to get things right for us... even when the Realtors could not get us together before the closing. I would hire Lou in a heartbeat for any other home we build, an addition or any other project that we may have in the future."

"I have nothing but positive things to say about Lunco. They stripped the existing wallpaper in most of my new house and painted it to perfection, which was not an easy task, given the vaulted ceilings and the difficult wallpaper. I work as a project manager for a commercial general construction company and have experience working with many different subcontractors, so I feel confident saying, Lunco is the class of the field. Not only was their quality of work great, but they completed the work within schedule and for a very fair price. I look forward to working with them in the spring to repaint my new house."

Kevin Bicknell and Brian Williams started Crest Management in 2003. After working in fire & flood restoration for 10 years, they saw an opportunity to do something they love - helping people build their dreams. Crest Management assures that each and every client will be the most important aspect of the building or remodeling project. Kevin and Brian are pioneers in taking the client’s vision to a reality. With their knowledge in custom projects and their expertise in intimate partnership with their clients, Crest Management will provide a truly enjoyable building experience.

"Kevin from Crest answered my call the same day and was out to help assess a leak in my attic the next morning (before work). He gave me advice on dealing with the water issue in the attic and quoted me quickly on fixing the leak caused by missing flashing between my roof and the chimney. Very transparent quote and fair pricing (I consulted with contractors and family to gauge the expected price). After I chose Crest to do the work, Kevin had someone up on the roof and got the work done on one of the first clear days. Shingles, flashing, masonry and sealant done while we were at work, no hassle. I would recommend Kevin and team for anyone needing roof repairs."

"I sold my duplex in East Bridgewater with the assistance of the team at Cornerstone Realty Partners. The entire transaction from start to finish was seamless. The condo was vacant during the sale so the agents knew it was crucial to get my home sold quickly and efficiently. I couldn't have been happier with the expertise and reliability of Cornerstone Realty Partners. I would highly recommend the team."

FAQs for appraisal real estate service projects in Providence, RI

The appraisal timeline begins with scheduling, which may take three to five days, depending on local appraiser availability. The on-site evaluation requires one to three hours based on property size and complexity. Following the inspection, appraisers need two to five days for research, analysis, and report preparation. The entire process takes seven to 10 days, though complex properties or government-backed loans may extend this timeframe.

The value of home appraisals extends beyond their immediate expense. They protect buyers from overpaying and help lenders ensure appropriate loan amounts. By providing independent market value verification, home appraisals help prevent potential financial missteps in major property transactions. This protection justifies the upfront cost for most real estate scenarios.

Home appraisers evaluate numerous property elements, including square footage, floor plan functionality, overall condition, and specific features. They document improvements, necessary repairs, and distinctive amenities. These observations are compared against similar properties recently sold in the neighborhood. Appraisers also consider location factors, current market conditions, and relevant zoning or property restrictions.

Yes, home appraisal fees are collected before the final closing. Since lenders require completed home appraisal reports before finalizing loan approvals, this cost occurs earlier in the transaction process. While buyers usually cover this expense, payment methods vary—some pay directly to the appraiser while others include it in closing costs.

Some property owners successfully use recent appraisals when challenging tax assessments. However, tax-assessed values often differ from market valuations. The appeal process involves submitting your appraisal as evidence that the tax authority's valuation exceeds actual market value. Success rates vary by jurisdiction, and the process may require patience and persistence.

From the buyer's perspective, appraisals verify they aren't overpaying for a property. Lenders won't approve financing that exceeds appraised value, potentially requiring buyers to renegotiate or contribute additional cash. Appraisal findings can also inform future improvement planning and investment decisions.

For sellers, preparation makes a difference. Clean, well-maintained properties present better during appraisal evaluations. Some sellers obtain pre-listing appraisals to establish appropriate asking prices, though most rely on the buyer's lender-ordered appraisal during the transaction process.
