Home Measuring Services:
The actual size of a home, and most importantly its Gross Living Area (GLA), is typically the most vital characteristic of residential real estate with square footage of a home having the largest impact on value. It’s no wonder that misrepresentation of a home’s size, accidental or otherwise, is the number one reason for residential real estate lawsuits. Unfortunately many Realtors rely upon county tax data for square footage of a home; this data is often inaccurate and can be a poor source for determining a home’s actual size.
At Measuring Texas we can work with homeowners and Realtors to determine actual Gross Living Area, Total Building Area and the Area of Additional Structures that may be on the property. We use advanced field tools such as laser measuring devices and tablet PCs to construct an accurate interpretation of your home’s actual size. There are many rules and restrictions to how a home can be measured and what exactly qualifies as “living space” vs. what is “non-livable space”. Because of these rules... additions, conversions and other changes made to a home can affect your total living area differently than you may think.
