When it comes to major home renovations, what improvements/fixes produce the best ROI? I just purchased a seriously outdated fixer-upper, and I’m hoping to renovate the most important parts of the home and put it back on the market within a year. I don't have time to renovate the entire home, and I'd like to know what kinds of renovations produce the best ROI so I know where to start.

Before hiring an architect or designer for my addition, what sort of questions should I ask them? Design is extremely important to me, and I feel like I can see that in their portfolio of work. What else should I be paying attention to?

Are solar shingles a good option for my home? We live in Atlanta on a sunny lot with unshaded southern exposure. We're considering incorporating solar power in a new carriage house. Are solar shingles (like those Elon Musk / Solar City / Tesla recently announced) a good option for us?

Can I install a laminate wood flooring on top of existing laminate wood flooring? The existing laminate is glued on a concrete pad very well and there is enough room by the baseboards and doors for the new floor to exist without having spacing issues. The new floor would be a 12mm floating floor with a pad underneath.

Building product directories: I'm searching for a comprehensive directory of all building products and building product manufacturers. I'm searching for a comprehensive building product directory. I've found a couple, but they don't seem comprehensive. Two examples: http://www.arcat.com/divs/building_products.shtml http://sweets.construction.com Is there a single directory that includes every building product manufacturer and every building product? Or if not, every single one, most of them?

I have a screened in porch that I wish I used more. I was thinking about glassing it in and was wondering what my best option would be? I would like the option to open the glass on nice days. The porch is about 100 square feet with an A-Frame shaped ceiling that is probably 20 feet high. What would the cost of something like this be? Are there options I'm not considering?
