Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Why can't I just use the tax record or appraiser's square footage?
A: Tax records are often outdated or inaccurate, and an appraiser's measurement happens after an offer is accepted—too late for your listing. Our service provides the accurate data you need beforeyou list to market the property correctly from day one.
Q: What is the ANSI Z765 standard?
A: It is the nationally recognized standard for measuring single-family homes. It provides strict rules on what counts as "livable space" (e.g., measured to the exterior, finished areas only), ensuring consistency across the industry.
Q: How long does a measurement appointment take?
A: For an average 2,000-3,000 sq. ft. home, the on-site data capture typically takes 30-60 minutes. We work efficiently to minimize disruption.
Q: Can you measure a multi-family home or commercial property?
A: Yes. While we specialize in residential, we have the capability to measure a wide range of property types. Contact us for a custom quote on commercial or multi-family measurements.
Q: What do you need from me to schedule?
A: Just the property address and access. We handle the rest.
