Q: What is the most in-demand home improvement?

• <div><p>Every homeowner dreams of a newly renovated kitchen and bathroom that meets their exact standards. Having a freshly designed kitchen or bathroom can make life easier and feel more luxurious. Both of those areas of the home get a lot of wear and tear and can look outdated more quickly than a living room or bedroom, so it&rsquo;s easy to see why they are such in-demand home improvements. Having those spaces in tip-top shape can also improve the value of their home.</p></div>

Q: How long do dormers last?

• <div><p>Just like the rest of your roof, a dormer will last as long as the life span of the materials used in construction. Slate, clay, and concrete roofing can last for over a century, whereas more <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/roof-materials.htm">standard roofing materials</a>, such as asphalt shingles, last closer to 30 years. The structure of the dormer itself, however, should last the roof's lifetime when properly maintained. Only the window, insulation, and eaves may require repairs over time.</p></div>

Q: Are sunken living rooms dated?

• <div><p>Many homeowners view sunken living rooms as an outdated architectural feature, as they were prevalent in 1960s and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/70s-decor.htm">1970s styles</a> of homes, but have since fallen out of favor. Some homeowners still enjoy the coziness of a sunken living room, but most find it to be an obsolete feature. It&rsquo;s possible to fill in a sunken living room, but the cost typically tops <b>$10,000</b>.</p></div>

Q: What should I consider when hiring someone to raise my sunken living room?

Follow these tips to find, vet, and hire the best local contractor for your project:</p><ul><li><p>Get recommendations from neighbors and friends who might be able to suggest contractors they&rsquo;ve used.</p></li><li><p>Request written quotes to help set your budget and expectations.</p></li><li><p>Verify your contractor&rsquo;s credentials to ensure a professional and legal finished product.</p></li><li><p>Read the contractor&rsquo;s proposed contract to make sure you agree to all terms, including the project timeline, cost, and materials. </p></li><li><p>Keep copies of all relevant documentation.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Does raising a ceiling add value to your home?

• <div><p>According to some studies, homes with 9-foot-or-higher ceilings can sell for 6% more than homes with lower ceilings. If you think you might wish to sell your home in the future and desire the look of a higher ceiling, this project could be a worthwhile investment. </p></div>
