Is an entryway a mudroom?

• <div><p>While you may hear entryways referred to as <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/should-i-add-mudroom-my-house.htm">mudrooms</a>, there are some differences. Entryways are often the entrance point to the house from a guest’s perspective, which is why they’re off the front door. Mudrooms are less formal entrances that are more for the people living in the home, which is why mudrooms are often attached to garages or the side or rear of the house. Entryways are also more formally decorated, while mudrooms are often all about utility.</p></div>

Q: What makes a perfect laundry room?

• <div><p>The features you choose for your laundry room to make it perfect depend largely on how you'll use the space, the size of your family, and their laundry needs. A perfect laundry room will have ample storage space, a clothes washer and dryer that are large enough for your needs and have good convenience features, and enough room to move around and work with enough countertop space to make laundry chores as easy as possible. </p></div>

Q: Can I save money with wire shelves instead of wood shelves?

• <div><p>You can budget a little less money for how to build a closet with wire shelves than with wood shelves. Some people don&rsquo;t like the aesthetics that wire shelves provide, though, meaning they&rsquo;ll gladly spend a little more to add wood shelves to the build. If you decide to buy pre-made wire shelves instead of building custom-sized wood shelves, you&rsquo;ll be restricted in the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/closet-shelving-dimensions.htm">closet shelving dimensions</a> you can use.</p></div>

Q: Can you do a bump out for a closet installation?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-a-bump-out-addition.htm">Bump-out additions</a> can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you&rsquo;re just looking to increase the space a little&mdash;not renovate the entire closet space. </p></div>

Q: How does a built-in closet affect the value of a home?

• <div><p>The addition of a properly installed built-in closet will generally make a home more competitive on the market and increase its sales price. If, however, you are converting an existing room into a walk-in closet, it will likely drive the value downward. The balance between utility and value is hard to get right, but generally speaking, if you add utility with a built-in closet that doesn&rsquo;t detract much from the square footage of the room, then you&rsquo;ll likely add value to your home.</p></div>

"Silver Gates was the company that responded when I purchased a new oven from Home Depot in West Hartford. Installer had a totally incompetent assistant who broke the glass door on my old oven as he was pulling it out, and did a half-hearted job of cleaning up the broken glass mess on the kitchen floor. He even had to ask me for a dustpan and brush. I found bits of broken glass everywhere for weeks. The installer had to enlarge the existing space for the oven and did a very sloppy job leaving an inch wide gap between the oven trim and the wallboard. They charged me an extra $150 for the three minutes of work it took to enlarge the opening. Total ripoff. Don’t use Silver Gates. And don’t use Home Depot “recommended contractors” for appliance installation. Also don’t pay Home Depot to pick up your old appliance either. They charged me $25 to pick up the old appliance but nobody ever showed up despite several complaints. Ended up paying Paine’s to haul it away."
