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 much does a kitchen remodel increase home value?

• <div><p>A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-a-kitchen-remodel-increase-home-value.htm">kitchen remodel can increase home value</a> significantly, with a return on investment (ROI) ranging from 50% to 80%. A well-executed kitchen remodel that enhances functionality, aesthetics, and energy efficiency attracts more buyers and commands a higher selling price. Smaller remodels can have a higher ROI, since less cost is invested than what would go into major or complete remodels while still offering valuable enhancements.</p></div>

Q: How much money do you need to save to buy a house?

• <div><p>While it's smart to save up about 25 percent of the price of a home&mdash;to cover the down payment and closing costs&mdash;many loans require between less than 3% down to qualify. In either case, you'll need between 3 and 6 percent for the closing and moving costs as well as a strong financial history for mortgage approval.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: Does a drop ceiling add value to a home?

• <div><p>Stylish drop tiles, such as wood or metal, could add value to your home if the drop ceiling hides imperfections on an old surface. However, traditional fiberboard and plastic drop ceilings can have the opposite effect, especially if new prospective buyers do not like that aesthetic. Savvy buyers may also know that drop ceilings are a go-to ceiling option in areas where leaks are an issue, given the easy access to the area above the ceiling and the ease of replacing a single tile. This could dissuade a buyer from purchasing your home.</p></div>

Q: How can an addition add value to my property?

• <div><p>By increasing square footage and functionality, resale appeal is enhanced.</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...
