Welcome to the

Church Appraisal Replacement Estimating Service
known as CARES. We are expert church appraisers who perform church appraisals on hundreds of properties throughout North America each and every year.

This pre-paid remote service is a strategic combination of telephone, internet, fax and direct mail.

We gather comprehensive interior and exterior information about places of worship from the most reliable source: the trustees or church members.

By knowing the "right" questions to ask and how to ask them Lewin, Wright & Company can provide accurate valuations quickly and inexpensively for a universe of properties or a single place of worship of any size.

Once accurate internal and external characteristics of the building are obtained, a risk specific valuation is calculated using specialized software and a comprehensive replacement cost database. All results are reviewed under the strictest quality control standards.

Once completed a CARES report can be re-valued automatically so that new coverage limits reflect specific structures, not broad-based generic factors that have nothing to do with the individual risk insured.

This approach to estimating church replacement costs is simpler, more precise and provides a greater degree of ongoing consistency and accuracy.
