Renovation & Remodeling Appraisals for Your Property

At KW Appraisal Group, we provide specialized appraisal services for properties undergoing renovations or remodeling. Our reports consider both current and projected post-renovation values, giving homeowners, investors, and developers the insights they need to make smart decisions about upgrades, budgeting, and potential sale price.

What Is an As-Is Value?

The As-Is value represents your property in its current state, without any changes or renovations. This is particularly useful for homes that are partially renovated or in need of repairs. Knowing the As-Is value helps you understand what your property would be worth if sold today, allowing you to weigh options between selling immediately or investing in improvements.

What Is an As-Repaired or Post-Renovation Value?

An As-Repaired value estimates the property’s value once all planned renovations or repairs are completed. This is a hypothetical projection based on expected improvements. It helps homeowners and investors determine whether the renovation costs will be recouped and how much value the upgraded property will add in the market.

How We Calculate Renovation Values

Our appraisers use detailed renovation plans and cost estimates to project the finished property’s condition. We compare the expected improvements with similar renovated properties in the area, factoring in materials, layout changes, and design upgrades. This ensures a reliable, data-driven estimate of your property’s post-renovation value.

Why Renovation Appraisals Are Important

Understanding both As-Is and As-Repaired values can save you money and prevent over-investing. These appraisals provide a realistic picture of potential returns, guide budget allocation, and help homeowners avoid unnecessary expenditures while maximizing their property’s market value.

Planning Renovations for Maximum ROI

Not all improvements yield the same return. Our team helps prioritize upgrades that increase market appeal and resale potential, such as kitchen and bathroom remodels, energy-efficient systems, or strategic curb appeal enhancements.

Structural & Systems Considerations

Renovations aren’t just cosmetic. Updating critical systems—like roofing, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC—can protect your investment and prevent costly repairs later. Our appraisals consider these factors when calculating projected values.

Interior Design & Functional Enhancements

Small improvements in design and layout can make a big difference. Flooring, lighting, storage solutions, and open floor plans are all evaluated to ensure they enhance both livability and marketability.

Assessing Additions and Expansions

Adding square footage, extra rooms, or functional spaces like home offices can dramatically affect your property’s worth. We evaluate how new additions integrate with the existing structure, ensure compliance with local building codes, and compare similar expanded properties in your market to determine potential value growth.

Guidance on Timing Renovations for Sale or Refinance

The timing of renovations can affect both appraisal outcomes and financial returns. We provide expert advice on whether to complete improvements before listing your property, refinance, or stagger projects over time. This guidance helps clients optimize investment efficiency and ensures the property reaches peak value when it matters most.
