While major undertakings might be the first projects homeowners think of to transform their home interiors, small projects like molding can go a long way toward remaking the look a feel of a home.
New molding can have a dramatic effect and is well worth the replacement investment of time and effort, particularly if existing molding has begun to show signs of wear and tear.
Replacement may be necessary when showing signs of rot or damage or when paint is peeling. Rotting molding may feel soft; while warping and swelling indicate the molding is damaged. Molding detached from the walls also may need to be replaced.
Molding comes in many shapes, styles and sizes and helps to maintain cohesion in spaces throughout a home. Sometimes you only need to replace pieces here and there so it's necessary to identify the current type of molding that's in a home. When all the molding must be replaced, then you have more flexibility with your selection. Molding styles include colonial, ogee, cove, and step and double step. The height and thickness of the molding and material type, such as solid wood or PVC, determine the right product for your home. Working with an interior designer and contractor can help homeowners make the right choice when installing a new product.
The cost of installing new molding will be determined by where the home is located, which materials chosen, which molding is being replaced (i.e., crown molding, baseboard molding, or both), and how much is being replaced. The renovation experts at Angi.com estimate that the range for a crown molding replacement project is between $600 and $2,100. Angi.com notes a similar price range for a baseboard molding replacement project, which typically runs between $800 and $2,250.
Replacing fading or damaged molding can subtly but effectively transform interior home spaces. Homeowners are urged to work with a contractor to identify the right molding products for their homes.

There is no denying the appeal of a sunroom. Sunrooms bring more of the outdoors inside by bridging the gap between home and yard. Demand is shifting, with more than 61 percent of homeowners now preferring four-season insulated rooms for year-round use, according to Market Reports World. A sunroom has the potential to offer a roughly 50 percent return on investment and can cost anywhere from $22,000 to $72,000 on average.
A sunroom addition is a significant investment and a decision not to take lightly, as it changes both the interior floor plan and backyard space. To decide if a sunroom really is a worthwhile endeavor, it's important for homeowners to consider the footprint of their homes/yards, how they plan to use the space, and the amount of sun the home receives.
HOME FOOTPRINT
Professionals with the National Association of Realtors say that a sunroom should not consume more than 30 percent of the remaining backyard and urge homeowners to avoid over-developing a lot. If

Enjoy the good life in Ocean Pines with private Beach Club in Ocean City, Yacht Club, 18-hole Golf Course, Racquetball complex with tennis & Pickleball courts & lots of walking trail & parks.
installing a sunroom will leave a homeowner with only a small patch of yard afterwards, the result can feel heavy and unbalanced. It also won't match the neighborhood. Another consideration is the local zoning ordinances where a person lives. The City of Los Angeles, for example, warns that most towns require a setback between the sunroom structure and the property line. It's also important to look at the home's roof and whether or not the sunroom will fall right under the eaves or if it will require an expensive tie-in to the existing roof.
UTILITY
It is vital that homeowners determine how they will use the space and when. This will dictate the type of sunroom that should be built. A three-season room is typically uninsulated with only single-pane glass. This is ideal if someone is looking for a screened-in retreat without all of the bugs and a little weather protection. Four-season rooms are fully insulated and tie into a home's HVAC system. This space will be functional all year long, but it is a more expensive undertaking as well.
LIGHT EVALUATION
The purpose of a sunroom is to benefit from the sun. The value of the space will depend entirely on which way the room faces. North-facing sunrooms have soft light with minimal heat or glare that likely can be used all day. Morning people can appreciate an east-facing sunroom while drinking coffee or reading, and the space will cool down in the afternoon. South-facing rooms will be bright most of the day and may need high-end HVAC hookups or shades to stay comfortable, even in cooler months. West-facing sunrooms are great for watching sunsets, but the hot afternoon sun must be considered. UV-rated glass to prevent floor fading and even sunburn likely will be needed.
It is important to work with a company that specializes in sunrooms. Such firms are experienced in helping homeowners design and ultimately build these spaces to avoid common pitfalls, advises Champion, a window, sunroom and home exterior company.
In general, a sunroom is not a DIY project since it typically involves a major structural change. It can be a viable addition to a home when built correctly to remain durable through every season.

The different ways to repair a driveway
Asphalt driveways do not last forever. An unsightly driveway can adversely affect curb appeal and resale potential. Homeowners have the option of getting the driveway resurfaced, resealed or repaved, and each project is unique.
Resurfacing is simpler and faster than installing a new asphalt driveway. With resurfacing, any cracks are filled in to create an even base. Then a new layer of asphalt is applied over the existing one. That new layer can range in thickness from 1.5” to 3”. A heavy rolling machine will then smooth and flatten the layers together. For minor pitting or cracking, then resurfacing can be a cost-effective strategy, as it may be a $3000 to $6000 job as opposed to a $5000 to $10,000 with repaving.
Resealing a driveway, also call sealcoating, is another repair strategy. Resealing helps the driveway last longer. The driveway needs to be clean and dry, with holes and cracks filled prior to sealcoating. This project can be completed within two or three days if no precipitation is forecast.
Repaving is a project best left to professionals. It typically involves the removal of an existing driveway and the installations of a new one.
Contractors also will assess soil and grading when doing work. The new asphalt driveway can vary in thickness between two and six inches, depending on budget and need. The contractor also can advise if fulldepth asphalt application or an aggregate base is practical.
Assessing the condition of driveway can give homeowners a better ideal about which type of repair project best suits their property.
A LIVING SPACE
Homeowners can consider any number of features when looking to give their living spaces a fresh look and add additional value to the home.
FIREPLACE: A wood-burning fireplace is a game changer when looking to redefine a living space. But such a project could be a significant undertaking in a home that does not already feature a woodburning fireplace. Homeowners will likely need to adhere to building codes, secure permits and even consult with an engineer to ensure such an addition does not affect the structural integrity of the home. A gas-powered fireplace is a less demanding project but will also require some extra work if a gas line needs to be connected where no such line currently exists. A plug-in electric fireplace can create a new ambiance and will not require as much time, effort and money as the alternatives. Coffered ceilings can immediately redefine the impression people get of a living space. Coffered ceilings feature a series of rectangular, square or octagonal grids that are typically accentuated by molding. They can provide a luxurious and even historic aesthetic, making them an ideal addition for homeowners looking to redefine an existing space.
Windows are another option when homeowners are hoping to redefine a living room. Modern windows are energy-efficient, so replacing aging windows may help homeowners combat rising energy costs. If the yard is a notable feature, new windows that accentuate the view from a living space can quickly redefine how residents’, guests and potential buyers see the room. Permits may be necessary if you're expanding existing windows, but that can be worth it if you're able to design the space around the view. All that extra natural light also may reinvent the feeling people get upon entering the space.
WALLPAPER: Interior design specialists note that wallpaper is making a comeback and can be used to draw attention to a wall in much the same way bold colors are chosen for accent walls. Wallpaper on an accent wall can feature a bold pattern or a strong color to add a sense of personality to a room that might be lacking if the walls are currently painted in neutral colors.
