The Appraisal FoundationAuthorized by Congress as the source of appraisal standardsAppraiseItNow provides insurance coverage appraisals across Colorado, helping individuals and businesses establish accurate insurable values for personal property, equipment, fine art, vehicles, and watercraft. Colorado's severe weather patterns, including frequent hail storms along the Front Range, make proper documentation of asset values especially important before a loss occurs. Insurers require USPAP-compliant appraisals to set policy limits, schedule riders, and support claims when disputes arise over repair or replacement costs.
AppraiseItNow serves clients throughout Colorado through both remote and onsite appraisal options, making it easy to get coverage documentation regardless of where your assets are located. Our appraisers in Colorado are equipped to work on your schedule, whether you are in Denver, Colorado Springs, Boulder, or a more rural part of the state.
AppraiseItNow covers the full range of asset types commonly requiring documented insurable value for Colorado policyholders, including:
AppraiseItNow works with Colorado homeowners, collectors, small business owners, and condominium associations who need accurate, insurer-accepted valuations to protect their assets. Clients across industries from Denver's technology sector to Colorado Springs' defense community rely on our certified appraisers to document replacement cost and actual cash value for scheduled coverage and policy updates.
What Colorado clients say we are known for
Across 17 published Colorado appraisal reviews, every one from a client who paid AppraiseItNow for an appraisal, the three things they raise most often are that they would hire us again, how much research is visible in the report, and how quickly we answer.
These guys were phenomenal. Joe was very responsive and gave clear instructions on how to submit my information for the appraisal, which he completed in a very quick timeframe. The appraisal itself was extremely detailed and included a thorough explanation of how they arrived at the value. It came with extensive documentation, and it’s clear they did a significant amount of research. They were also very responsive through text and email and always available to answer any questions. I had them appraise my fifth-wheel RV for resale, and I highly recommend their services. I will definitely use them again.
Recreational Vehicle Appraisal for Insurance Coverage
The appraisal was done very well. Since he was a local artist here in Charleston, SC, they took the time to study and review Jim Booth’s art. His work has made him extremely famous, which can make an appraisal challenging, but they did a superb job and clearly explained how they arrived at the appraisal value. I highly recommend Appraise It Now and will use them again for all my artwork.
Artwork Appraisal for Insurance Coverage
AppraiseItNow's service was expeditious and professional. The report was thorough with plenty of examples and rationale for the valuations. Good service comes at a cost, but for me it was well worth it. Highly recommended!
Personal Property Appraisal for Insurance Coverage
We recently used AppraiseItNow for one of our clients and couldn’t be happier with the experience. The customer service was excellent, and Joe was quick to respond to all of our questions. He provided everything we needed promptly and made the process smooth from start to finish. Thank you!
Boat Appraisal for Insurance Coverage
I was looking for an appraisal and time was of the essence. They got the job done in only a few days with excellent customer service. Great business to work with.
Machinery & Equipment Appraisal for Insurance Coverage
Joe made the process to have my piece of furniture appraised extremely easy, efficient and quick. My experience was great and I'd recommend AppraiseItNow to anyone looking for an appraisal.
Furniture Appraisal for Insurance Coverage
Colorado values taxable personal property on a "value in use" basis under C.R.S. § 39-1-104(12.3)(a)(I), a standard built for property taxation rather than for insurance. Because that figure is tied to the property's condition on January 1 and adjusted to a statewide level-of-value date, it rarely reflects what coverage should be based on, which is why we prepare independent valuations for scheduling and coverage decisions rather than borrowing assessor numbers.
Everything that is not real property. C.R.S. § 39-1-102(16) defines personal property that broadly, and state materials list machinery, equipment, furnishings, and trade fixtures as examples. For insurance purposes that breadth means a business schedule can span shop equipment, office furnishings, signage, and specialized tools, each needing its own documented value.
No. Colorado's appraiser licensing statutes define an appraisal in terms of real estate and expressly exempt appraisers of personal property (chattels) from licensure. Since no state license signals competence for valuing equipment, art, or jewelry in Colorado, insurers and underwriters look instead at the appraiser's qualifications and the methodology documented in the report.
Often not. Owners whose total business personal property is worth $56,000 or less per county do not file the annual declaration schedule with the county assessor, so no government valuation of their equipment exists at all. An independent appraisal is frequently the only documented value record such a business can hand its insurer when setting coverage.
