4 Deceptively Easy Home Improvement Projects to Try

By

There are plenty of challenging, time-consuming home improvement projects that might seem daunting. But there are also quite a few that are easier than you might think. For example, installing premium tool storage in your garage doesn’t need to be a huge project. It might take time to install a wall full of cabinets, but it can also be easy to get done. Here are a few deceptively simple projects to try.

Installing Decorative Ceiling Tiles

Installing decorative ceiling tiles doesn’t have to be a lengthy project. Simply measure out the number of tiles you need and prepare the surface so it’s clean and debris-free. Apply an adhesive to the back of a tile, press it firmly against the ceiling, and then repeat. You can create your own patterns or designs with the tiles. All that’s left is to trim the excess for a clean look. You can even use grid systems for a precise installation, ensuring it looks professional. 

You can find tiles for ceilings for many rooms in your home, from offices to kitchens and living rooms, and you can finish the project in a weekend.

Adding Garage Tool Storage Solutions

Garage tool storage can be as easy as assembling a large, wheeled toolbox or a bit more complex, like mounting cabinet garage storage options. But even the cabinets are fairly easy to install and can have a huge impact on your garage’s functionality and organization.

The hard part is figuring out what you need and how you will place the cabinets. Some systems are more modular than others, so you can adjust the layout and design to fit your workflow.

Replacing Your Deck Boards

Composite boards are far easier to install than normal wood boards. This is because the dimensions are typically more consistent, and the boards are usually much straighter. Plus, many have a handy hidden fastening system, making the actual installation process a breeze.

The most challenging part of the project might be loading and unloading them from your truck, but once you have the old boards removed, you can install the new deck boards over the weekend.

Integrating Connected Smart Home Devices

A smart home hub only takes a few minutes to set up, and the hardest part is finding a place to plug it in and connecting it to your Wi-Fi. There are plenty of options for a smart home, from thermostats to video doorbells. You can even get a smart garage door opener with a camera. The hardest part is making sure every piece will communicate with your smart hub of choice and getting everything working in concert.

Once everything is installed, you’ll find your home is more convenient, and you’ll wonder how you lived without these devices for so long.

Check out these three weatherproofing home improvement projects to get a head start on next summer’s heat waves. Step Up Your Siding If you’ve spent time in Arizona, New Mexico, or any other desert climate, you might have noticed stunning Pueblo-style architecture. This Spanish-influenced style often uses mortar or cement siding to protect a home's exterior from the hot desert sun. If you’re in the Midwest, however, your home probably wasn’t built to handle extreme desert heat, yet we still see super high temperatures in the summer nowadays. Over time, excessive heat and sun exposure can take a toll on the exterior of your home, causing paint to fade, chip, o...
