Quick Updates

Only have a few hours to spruce up your space? Don’t forget, small projects can make a big difference! These budget-friendly, visually focused projects are perfect for adding instant aesthetic appeal and functionality without a complete overhaul. Plus, they only require a few simple tools and a quick trip to your local home improvement store.

Project Ideas:

• Replace hardware like drawer pulls and cabinet handles.

• Swap out dated lighting fixtures for modern ones.

• Install storage solutions such as an over-the-toilet cabinet or floating shelves.

 Project Ideas:

• Install new tile flooring.

• Replace a builder-grade vanity with a spacious cabinet-and-sink combo like 72 inch double sink vanities.

• Add a backsplash or crown molding.

Full Remodel

The most extensive and expensive option, these projects often call for a complete floor-to-ceiling renovation that can take weeks to complete. From updating fixtures to a complete layout redesign, this type of renovation is ideal for fixing structural issues or adding luxurious touches to your space. However, the scope of these projects and the expertise they require may mean bringing in a professional.

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.

Why should you bother doing your own home upgrades? Part of it is the upgrades themselves, and how they can add value to your home or improve your quality of life. Another part is complete control over the aesthetics, choosing the perfect tiles for ceilings in every room of your home. And, of course, if you do it yourself, you can save money, especially on easier jobs.  You Have Full Creative Freedom One of the biggest reasons to do home upgrades yourself is creative freedom. You are bound only by your imagination and how you want something to look. Using a contractor can work, but it can also be hard to convey exactly what you want. Even then, it might be done wrong. You might want to retile your shower, but the contractor turns the tiles the wrong way and changes the pattern you wanted. Now you either have to live with it or live with the time it takes to make it right. When you do things yourself, you’re in full control. Many Projects Are Easy Many smaller project...

You reach for a tool, but it’s not on the shelf. Where did your orbital sander go? The saw isn’t supposed to be there! Storing your tools properly is important for a few reasons, not the least of which is being able to quickly find the right tool for the job. Whether you’re using rolling toolboxes or a cabinet garage storage system, there are a few reasons to properly store your tools. Protect Your Investment One of the major reasons to use storage is to protect your tools. Whether it’s a hammer or a cordless jigsaw, tools cost money. Properly storing them means they are far less likely to get damaged by you accidentally bumping the tool off a shelf or workbench. Properly storing your tools means they last longer and won’t collect as much rust, dust, or grease, assuming you keep them clean. This means they perform their jobs better for longer, and you won’t have to maintain them as often or replace damaged tools. Ensure Safety Leaving a saw on a workbench when you aren...
