A trend in a lot of areas is more hard-surfaced flooring such as hard wood, tile, or even
high-quality laminates. Even in rooms that have traditionally been carpeted, such as
bedrooms, hallways, and dens, more people are opting for hard surfaces. The two
main benefits are that hard surfaces can last longer and they are more friendly to
people with allergies because they are easier to keep clean. Whatever decisions you
make on flooring, it pays to do your research and consult with experts before you start.
ROOF
The most important issue with your roof is really more functional than cosmetic. Its
main job is to protect your house. Replacing the roof can be quite expensive and
should really be considered only if it is necessary. There are exceptions to this, but they
are really beyond the scope of this book. The first and usually the simplest step is to
call your insurance agent and have them send out an insurance inspector/adjustor to
check the insurability of the roof. If they say it is in good shape, you should be in good
shape.
