What is the difference between a Tudor and a Victorian house?

• <div><p>Historically, Tudor homes originally stemmed from the 15th and 16th centuries, while Victorians appeared during Queen Victoria's reign in the 19th century. The design and structural differences are significant as well. The many types of Victorian architecture—such as <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/italiante-home.htm">Italianate architecture</a>—typically feature ornate trim, wood siding, wraparound porches, and tall towers on top, such as belvederes. On the other hand, Tudor-style homes feature white stucco exteriors with exposed wooden rafters marking the house frame both inside and out.</p></div>

Q: Does LVP increase home value?

• <div><p>While LVP won&rsquo;t increase home value as much as engineered hardwood, it can increase the value somewhat because it creates a warm and inviting aesthetic. It&rsquo;s also durable and waterproof, so it can be appealing to homebuyers with pets and children. LVP is very low-maintenance, so that can also appeal to homebuyers who don&rsquo;t want to spend a lot of time keeping up with an engineered or solid hardwood floor. </p></div>

Q: Can xeriscaping increase your home value?

• <div><p>Xeriscaping can absolutely increase your home value, but the return on investment (ROI) depends on where you live and how prevalent xeriscaping is in your area. In drought-prone climates, xeriscaping can boost your curb appeal and make your home more appealing to buyers due to the reduced maintenance and watering costs. However, in areas where xeriscaping isn&rsquo;t the norm, some buyers may be willing to pay less for a xeriscaped property if they don&rsquo;t like the appearance.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a cottage and a Craftsman house?

• <div><p>While Craftsman-style houses are bungalows, cottages typically aren&rsquo;t, though they can be. But they also differ in other stylistic aspects. For instance, cottages usually have simpler designs and painted woodwork.</p></div>

Q: Should you buy a house that has been underpinned?

• <div><p>As long as the home inspection reveals no problems with the property&rsquo;s structure, it shouldn&rsquo;t be an issue buying an underpinned home. In fact, a properly underpinned property can be more stable than houses that have never had structural issues. However, you could face a higher insurance premium if the property has a history of structural problems. You should always request a structural engineer&rsquo;s report before making a final decision.</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...
