The vales are all in working condition. However they are older than 25 years and therefore replacement is now recommended. Also note the main valve is sheered off and needs to be replaced in the next 1-3 years. Replacement on all 3 valves is $575 installed.

I would also paint and or replace the current piping installed, however this is only recommended ($305) , not needed at this time.
