How do you raise a sunken living room floor?

• <div><p>Raising a sunken living room requires help from a professional contractor. The expert will remove existing flooring and trim, reroute utility lines with respect to the new floor level, pour concrete to fill the recessed space, and then let the concrete cure. After the foundation is raised up, the contractor will install the new utility lines, repaint the walls, if necessary, and finish the area with flooring and trim.</p></div>

Does a home theater add value to your home?

• <div><p>Installing a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/movie-experience-at-home-upgrades.htm">new home theater</a> or upgrading your current one will likely add value to your home, as many prospective buyers will consider it an exciting bonus feature. However, the value of a home theater is subjective and depends on the buyer, so there’s no guarantee that it’ll increase your home sale value. Keep in mind that home theaters typically have a return on investment rate of about 65%.</p></div>

Why are split-level homes not as popular?

• <div><p>Because of their lack of curb appeal compared to other home styles and specific interior motifs, split-level homes are not as popular. Because of the many staircases, they don’t always make a suitable home for people as they age. Also, the way their space is divided up leads to less space available for a full primary bedroom.</p></div>

Do installations include custom mantels?

• <div><p>Yes, professionals offer mantel and surround customization for aesthetic appeal.</p></div>

Can I make my home more accessible myself?

• <div><p>Minor modifications like grab bars and threshold ramps can be DIY, but professional services ensure compliance with ADA standards and structural safety.</p></div>
