Q: What is the difference between a foyer, entryway, and mudroom?

• <div><p>A foyer or entryway is typically a formal landing area for guests, located at the primary entrance of a home. It is often more formally decorated and connects directly to the main living space. In contrast, a mudroom is a more casual, utilitarian room, usually leading in from a secondary entrance like a garage or the side or rear of the house. It serves as a space for residents to remove shoes and outerwear to keep mud, dirt, and water out of the main home.</p></div>

Q: Do built-in or custom closets add value to a home?

• <div><p>Yes, adding a built-in or custom closet generally increases your home's value and makes it more attractive to potential buyers. A well-designed closet adds utility, organization, and a touch of luxury, which are appealing selling points. Most homeowners see a return on investment (ROI) of 50% to 60%; for example, a custom closet can add about $1,000 to your home's value on average. The specific ROI depends on the type, with custom walk-in closets typically providing more value than reach-in closets. However, to maximize value, ensure the closet doesn't significantly detract from the room's usable square footage. Converting an entire room into a closet can actually lower your home's value. Similarly, using overly lavish materials may not recoup their cost. A good strategy is to add a closet that takes square footage from a non-living area, such as a garage, to create a mudroom closet.</p></div>

Q: Are books heavier than clothes?

• <div><p>Yes, books are typically heavier than clothes, unless you have a collection exclusively of paperbacks or comic books. That&rsquo;s why packing lots of books warrants careful planning and consideration. Consider packing up your reading collection first to determine whether you need to downsize it before loading it into your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-size-moving-truck.htm">moving truck</a>.</p></div>

Q: Can I build custom cabinets or built-in furniture myself?

• <div><p>Building custom cabinets or built-in furniture yourself is possible, especially for basic designs, if you have woodworking experience. For a professional result, hiring a service is recommended to ensure precision, high-quality craftsmanship, and superior finishes.</p></div>

Q: Can I stack packed boxes?

• <div><p>Since they are so fragile, it is not usually recommended to stack anything on top of your packed lamps. If you have sturdy boxes, and what you plan to put on top of them is of a similar weight, it&rsquo;s okay to stack.</p></div>

"We were so happy with the work that the Cabinet Cures team did! I love my new kitchen! Refacing is the way to go if your cabinets are in good shape and you like your footprint - you get an entirely new look with less time and money."

Even the adjacent dining area benefited from the update.

Taller doors to give a seamless look along with replacing the open cabinet gives a clean uniform look.

"Joe updated our 1980's kitchen and it looks like we had a whole new kitchen put in, not a refacing. Guy. his installer did an incredible job and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. When he left, we didn't even know he'd been there. Everything was cleaned up. We used Spencer Granite at Joe's recommendation for our granite countertops and they came out great. Joe was very personable, easily accessible and always returned my calls right away. I would happily recommend Domestikitchens"
