Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is measured? What is provided?
We measure the interior and exterior of the house including any attached garage. All measurements comply with NCREC and ANSI Z765 Standards.
We provide a PDF document that includes a 2D floor plan with interior room layout and overall measurements that comply with NCREC and ANSI Z765 Standards.
A sample PDF floor plan is available here. -
What about additional exterior features such as sheds, patios, decks, pools, etc?
We can measure any exterior features and include them on the floor plan for an additional charge. Just let us know in advance what additional features you would like to include in the measurement and floor plan.
-
How long to measure the property? To receive the floor plan?
Measuring takes approximately 30 - 60 minutes, but depends on the complexity and number of additional structures being measured. The floor plan will be delivered in approximately 2 business days, but may require additional time depending on the complexity and number of additional structures being measured. You will be notified if the floor plan requires additional time.
-
What if the measurements seem off?
The NC Real Estate Commission measuring guideline allows for a 5% difference in measurements. That is for a 1500 sq ft house the difference can be ±75 sq ft. If there are significant differences, then reach out to us and we explain the difference. We stand behind our work and will be there to provide you satisfactory explanations for any differences in measurements.
-
What locations do you cover for measurements?
Typically we cover an area appoximately 25 miles from 189 Wagner St, Troutman, NC 28166. We do cover areas beyond that for an additional travel fee to cover travel distance and time.
When making an appointment, provide the full address for the property and we will let you know if there is an additional travel fee. -
How do I make a measuring appointment? And what is expected?
Making an Appointment:
• Reach out to us via text, email, or phone to make an appointment.
• In order for us to be efficient, we need full address at time of making an appointment. We do not share any of your information with anyone or anyone’s with you.

Prior to Measuring:
• We will confirm the appointment approximately 24 hours prior.
• Depending on the location of the property the Agent may be required to be there. Otherwise, if the homeowner or a combo lockbox is available, then we may not need the Agent. We will let you know.
Time of Measuring:
• Make sure we have access to interior and exterior of the property. We don’t have access supra therefore we can access thru combo box, you can meet us there, or have homeowner allow us.
• Please ask home owners to secure their pets if they have any.
• Measuring should take approximately 30 - 60 minutes. -
