Custom Metalworking Equipment Appraisal Solutions
Desktop Appraisal
If your machine shop maintains detailed asset records, our Desktop Equipment Appraisal offers a faster, highly cost effective valuation solution. Instead of an in person visit, we rely on the data you provide such as clear photographs, maintenance logs, and equipment spec sheets to accurately value your lathes, laser cutters, and standard fabrication equipment. This method completely eliminates travel time and expenses while delivering the exact same rigorously researched, USPAP compliant report. It is the perfect, streamlined option for shops seeking rapid, reliable valuations for internal asset management, insurance updates, or standard equipment financing. Click Here for a Free Quote.
Onsite Appraisal
For complex metalworking facilities, our Onsite Equipment Appraisal provides a comprehensive, hands on inspection of your machinery. Our certified appraisers travel directly to your shop floor to physically document the operating condition, spindle hours, and maintenance history of everything from multi axis CNC mills to heavy duty press brakes. We work efficiently to gather this critical data without disrupting your daily production schedule. Our approach delivers a USPAP compliant report reflecting the exact working reality of your industrial assets, making it ideal for mergers, SBA loans, or complex heavy machinery valuations.

We use the cost approach and the market approach. Using the Cost Approach, the appraiser starts with the current Replacement Cost New (or in some circumstances the Reproduction Cost New) of the property being appraised and then deducts for the loss in value caused by physical deterioration, functional obsolescence, and economic obsolescence. The market approach is a method of determining the value of an asset based on the selling price of similar assets. Both approaches should be used to find an accurate value. At times we will discuss our numbers with others who buy, sell, and work in the industry to confirm our results.
