3 Home Upgrades That Don’t Require a Full Renovation

By



You don’t need to do a full renovation to upgrade your home. Key upgrades can instantly improve a room, such as installing an apron front kitchen farmhouse sink. It can change the look and usability of your kitchen without redoing the entire kitchen. Here are a few DIY projects that can help make a difference in your home without requiring extensive (and expensive) renovations.

Installing a New Sink

A farmhouse kitchen sink can transform your kitchen’s aesthetic while offering additional benefits. They tend to have deeper basins, which are perfect for washing larger pots and pans, and can come in handy when hosting friends and family. Farmhouse sinks also help you stay in an ergonomic position, taking strain off your back and arms while you wash dishes. All this adds up to an easy improvement that doesn’t involve a full kitchen renovation. With the right supplies and DIY experience, you can easily replace your sink during the weekend.

Replacing Your Bathtub

Replacing your bathtub can also help you transform your bathroom. So long as you have the space, a soaking walk in tub can help anyone with mobility issues enjoy a warm, relaxing bath. Low-threshold entrances make it easy to just walk in. Grab bars and non-slip surfaces provide better security. Plus, many options feature whirlpools and other hydrotherapy options. While replacing a tub is a bit more extensive than replacing a sink, it’s possible to DIY this project.

Refreshing Cabinet and Door Hardware

Refreshing your cabinet hardware is a small, yet surprisingly impactful change. Replacing the hardware can completely transform the look of your kitchen cabinets or bathroom vanity. New pulls and handles can instantly elevate the look of your existing cabinets without spending a fortune on new ones. Why stop in the kitchen? The same goes for your interior and exterior doors. You can change out the handles or even the locks for a refreshed style. This upgrade can be done in a single afternoon.

4 Things to Check Around the House This Spring

It’s time for spring cleaning, and along with organizing your closets and decluttering the garage, there are a few maintenance tasks to check off your list. Some are just quick checks, while others are essential for keeping your home running smoothly. From inspecting and maintaining electric hot water heaters to replacing fence posts, here are a few things to check around your home this spring. Check Deck Boards for Rot Depending on whether you used deck boards composite vs. fully natural wood, you should check for any rot, insect damage, or cracks that happened over the winter. Composite boards won’t have these problems, as they are a mix of resin and wood and don’t have the drawbacks of wooden boards. If your natural wood deck boards do have damage, you might want to replace them with composite boards. Regardless, spring is an excellent time to check your deck and see how it’s holding up. Be sure to check the top of the deck, underneath, and any handrails for damage. In...

5 Home Upgrades Worth the Investment

While it’s okay to shop on a budget and cut corners for some home improvement projects, others are worth the extra investment. When upgrading things like electric hot water heaters or exterior decks, it’s worth spending a little extra on quality products, materials, and supplies so you can enjoy a more comfortable, efficient, and safer home. From more hot water on demand to a deck that holds up to Mother Nature, consider investing in these home upgrades. A Better Water Heater If you’re in the market for a new water heater, consider going with a premium option. An electric water heater with a large tank ensures you can take a bath while running the dishwasher, or not worry about family members who all want to take a hot shower on a cold day. Make sure you buy a size that fits your family’s needs, and consider going with a tankless install if you want a more efficient unit with hot water on demand. A Durable Composite Deck Another improvement that is worth the investmen...
