You might also think about a metal roof. That’s what we have started going to in the mid west. One other thing to note is talk to your insurance about the savings of a class 4 roof. Be it metal or asphalt roof, a class 4 usually saves you enough in the first years premium to more the cover the slight increase in materials.

@Geren Knight III

Use a good etching paneling primer, paint it it’s stronger then just Sheetrock. If your going resale, tear it off and see what’s behind it. It sucks when it’s glued on and pulls paper that requires skimming. We don’t take it down unless we have to until it’s resale time...

We have been doing the complete house. Remember it is not what you want it's what they want. Some houses we will do the kitchen and baths in a tile look while the rest is in a wood look. Others we have carried the same color through out.

We use to tile every bathroom, kitchen and entry ways. We used to refinish thd hardwood floors....Not worth the investment ( save that for when you want top dollar on selling) tiles break when heavy objects are dropped. Grout gets dirty, styles change. Click vinyl installs in no time with very little to no surface prep. Can be changed in no time. We get more comments on the click vinyl then ever expected. I have a friend with nearly 200 sf in Florida that I got to start using lvt and he can't stop talking about how great it is. Inexpensive, clean, waterproof, wears like iron, lower install costs. What's not to like about it. Works here very well, newer generation likes the clean feel of it...their words...not mine.
