Use this checklist to prepare a focused conversation about the property and the decision in front of you.
Documentation
Gather dates, invoices, permits, warranties, plans, and before-and-after information where available.
Quality and condition
Separate cosmetic finishes from system replacements, repair work, workmanship, and ongoing maintenance.
Comparison
Review how relevant buyers and competing properties treat the feature; cost does not automatically equal added market value.
