Our Best Winter Home Improvement Projects

That won’t break the bank!

Winter can be a great time for a variety of home projects that tend to get overlooked during the summer. This time frame, although generally reserved for family, friends and holiday celebrations, finds us spending more time at home. In return, it can be a great time to check off those last-minute items on your to-do list.

These small projects and ideas can refresh your home and won’t break the bank:

ADD SMALL TOUCHES:

Details from crown molding finishes, cabinet hardware to faucets add an elevated style to any room. A handful of tools can make a big impact.

JUMP START CURB APPEAL:

Provide a little TLC and nourishment to your trees, shrubs, and grass before those winter storms wreak havoc.

MAKE BLEAK SPACES MORE FUNCTIONAL:

Laundry rooms and closets typically lack features to let the dust out or functionality of tasks. Paint and cabinetry help considerably!

REFURBISH DOORS:

Homeowners understand the visual impact of doors. Instead of replacing them, simply refurbish them by painting or including decorative knobs or molding.

REPLACE INTERIOR LIGHTING:

Light fixtures can add as much personality to a space as paint does. Consider replacing fixtures and replacing incandescent light bulbs with energy-efficient LED bulbs to help lower utility bills.
