Home Renovations during a Home Appraisal-Can it be done? I am having a home appraisal done in a few weeks, however I am having major work done on my single family home. I am updating a kitchen and a bathroom, among other areas. The reason for the real estate appraisal is I am refinancing my house, no cash out. I am confirming based on your experience it should not be a problem work is being done on the house during the time of the home appraisal? Please advise. Thanks.
