Q: Is it less expensive to build or buy a closet?

• <div><p>Whether it&rsquo;s less expensive to build or buy a closet depends on both the type of closet and whether or not you&rsquo;d be constructing it yourself. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-do-custom-closets-cost.htm">cost of custom closets</a> built by a pro ranges from $1,300 to $3,800, but you may be able to DIY it for as little as $400. By contrast, prefabricated options go as low as $200 and up to $3,000, so it&rsquo;s almost always less expensive to go this route. </p></div>

Q: What are the challenges of living in a tiny house?

• <div><p>Tiny house living requires creative solutions to the one biggest issue: space. Many people in tiny houses find life most manageable if they practice <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/minimalism-home-design.htm">minimalism</a>. Eliminating excess items and clutter makes the living space feel bigger, which can be a significant mood booster. It can also be challenging to get utilities arranged for a tiny house, and building and zoning codes can and often do present unique challenges to overcome. </p></div>

Q: How do I prevent closet shelves from sagging?

• <div><p>To prevent sagging, consider both the material and the span of the shelf. Using sturdy materials such as plywood or solid wood can provide better support than particleboard. Additionally, limiting the shelf span to 36 inches or less can reduce the risk of sagging. For longer shelves, incorporating center supports or brackets can offer additional reinforcement.</p></div>

Q: Should books be packed spine up or down?

• <div><p>You should primarily pack books upright in boxes. But if you are trying to squeeze books into every last space of the box, you can pack sturdy paperback books with their spines down in the box. You can pack large books flat, as they take up more space anyway.</p></div>

Q: What is the most affordable room to build?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/should-i-add-mudroom-my-house.htm">Adding a mudroom</a> is one of the most budget-friendly home additions compared to other projects, costing between <b>$8,000 and $16,000</b> on average. Not only is the room often quite small, but it also requires minimal fixtures or wiring to make the room practical. The most costly features include a weatherproof floor and an exterior door.</p></div>

"Unfortunately, I had a very dissatisfying experience with Ameristore, particularly with one of their workers, Ed. My drywall was scheduled to be remediated, cut out and I was told last minute by this individual that he was not planning on coming to do the work in my house. He accused me of having details incorrect on the quote I was given although when I contacted the office the information, I had was correct. This individual was very unprofessional and rude and actually made some discriminatory remarks about my home saying I needed a hygienist to come out to my home and then declining to do the work in my home entirely. I had a leak in my home as my sewage backed up. Of course my home needed to have some work done on it and that is why I contacted the company. I ended up contacting another remediation company who literally came out to my home days later and completed the job with no hassle. I delayed writing a review regarding this company but felt it was necessary based on how this individual treated me and how the company was unwilling to actually assist me as a customer but decided to uphold a very unprofessional worker. To this day I am still in dismay by how I was treated."

"Wallace construction came to my door after seeing shingles missing on my roof. Unlike the fly by night contractors that typically do this approach, Denise was very friendly, had a logo shirt and truck and was very professional. They helped us with our insurance adjuster to pay for a good portion of the new roof when I didn't even realize it was a possibility. They offered great communication which to me is key. Everything was accomplished in a timely and professional manner. Our new roof looks great and definitely improved our curb appeal. Will use for future projects, and I even have a few in mind."
