FAQs
We quote after a short discovery call. Simple single‑item letters are often a flat fee; whole‑home projects are billed by scope with a not‑to‑exceed estimate.
Yes—when the scope allows. Tell us your deadline, and we’ll propose a realistic plan.
No. To preserve objectivity, we do not purchase what we appraise. If you decide to sell, we can advise on the best venue.
For some assignments (donations, insurance updates), a desktop appraisal may be appropriate. We’ll confirm if inspection is required.
