Is it worth buying and remodeling an old house?

• <div><p>Yes, it could be worth buying and remodeling an old house. You can potentially purchase an older house for a lower price than a newer house. With less of an upfront investment, you can devote more of your budget to the remodeling work. If you’re thinking of remodeling an old house and then reselling it—called house flipping—focus on projects that deliver the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/remodeling-projects-highest-roi.htm">best ROI for home improvements</a>. </p></div>

Q: How long does an FHA appraisal take?

• <div><p>Depending on the size of the home, the appraisal itself can take several hours. After the appraiser&rsquo;s visit is complete, it can take between a few days and a few weeks to get the report back. This timeline is largely dependent on the appraiser&rsquo;s workload, research requirements, efficiency, and other factors.</p></div>

Q: Do granite countertops add value to your home?

• <div><p>Granite countertops typically add value to your home, especially if upgrading from a less durable material or one that requires more maintenance, like concrete, wood, or laminate. Granite strikes an excellent balance between longevity and affordability, so most home buyers will see immense value in granite countertops. Plus, upgrading countertops to granite is likely to have a more significant impact on your home value than many other home improvement projects, as many buyers use the kitchens and bathrooms to judge the overall quality of the home. </p></div>

Q: Do wood floors improve home value?

• <div><p>Yes, wood floors are among the most desirable flooring options, and most homebuyers are willing to pay more for homes with high-quality wood floors installed. Wood floors are relatively easy to repair, maintain, and clean, and buyers may pay a premium for the convenience and natural beauty of wood floors, especially if they&rsquo;re new or in good condition. You can reasonably expect a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/remodeling-projects-highest-roi.htm">return on investment </a>of around <b>75%</b> or more when you upgrade to wood floors, depending on the quality and type of wood.</p></div>

Q: Do koi ponds increase home value?

• <div><p>A koi pond may add value to your home if it&rsquo;s a feature sellers are looking for. Like pools, ponds can affect your property value depending on their condition, whether they&rsquo;re a popular selling point, and how well they&rsquo;re incorporated into your home&rsquo;s landscape.</p></div>

I hired Guilded Touch to construct an attached deck off my front door. Right from the onset, Joel was fantastic to work with. He has a real eye for detail and didn’t look to cut any corners. Even though I had a strong vision of how I wanted the deck to look, he worked with me to improve some...

They grossly underestimated the price. They charged an extra $1,000.00 above the estimate. We asked for our stuff to be delivered on the 7th and they did not arrive until the 12th. They did not arrive on time which was a real inconvenience because we were in an empty house. After sending a...
