Home Makeover in 3 Steps

We all dream of winning a place on one of those home improvement shows on TV. Significant home improvements can add serious value to your home and your life. The truth is, you don’t have to renovate the entire house to enjoy all of the benefits of a home makeover. 

Whether you are dreaming or you are seriously considering renovating your home, it is good to have some help in the process. In this article, we will discuss what projects will bring about the most change and improvement. Of course, every home is different, but these three projects will have your house feeling brand new. 

Raise the Roof (or Replace It)

A new roof can feel like a facelift for your house. This significant home improvement deserves quality craftsmanship. Hiring a professional and reputable team is essential. If you happen to live in the Toronto area, Mississauga Roofing is one roofing company that we know and love. 

Depending on your location, roof replacement takes around 1-3 days. Because of the constant banging going on, we recommend taking a short trip out of the house during construction. 

Bring a New Face to your Kitchen Cabinets

The kitchen is the heart of every home. It is a place where you should feel comfortable and not cluttered. Changing the face of your kitchen cabinets will make your kitchen feel lighter and cleaner than ever before. 

Sometimes the only goal during kitchen remodeling is to change the look of the cabinet faces. When your cabinets are still in decent physical shape, it is much more practical to do approach by refacing and not replacing. 

Cabin refacing is when you replace the doors and drawer fronts to refresh the look of the kitchen storage. When it comes to the inside, all that you do for the body is add a coat of veneer. If you are planning to do it on your own, you need to buy a veneer kit, application materials, and unique order cabinet doors and drawers. 

You can either hire a professional or make this a fun DIY project. Need some inspiration? HGTV has some amazing examples of beautiful cabinet refacing projects. 

Someone who is specialized in cabinet refacing would require about a half of a week to complete the job. This project is usually cheaper than a total kitchen replacement, but it still is a significant home improvement project. 

Add Some Color

The walls in your house are speaking, and they are asking to be freshened up. Okay, maybe you are not looking for a major home improvement, but preferably something quick and easy will bring about a fresh feeling.

If you are ready to get painting but stuck on where to begin, the website, The Spruce, has some great tips and tricks that will help you paint the perfect accent wall. 

An accent wall can bring life to a room. A little bit of color can go a long way to jazz up a place that is otherwise neutral or white. This small job backs a big difference, and it is a great way to test out colors before fully committing.

Choosing the best location of your accent wall depends on personal preferences. We recommend putting it behind large furniture like a couch or a bed. Accent walls are great to merge with a gallery of framed paintings and family photographs. 

Paint is not the only material that can create a beautiful accent wall. Adding stone, bricks, or wallpaper can also dramatically change the aesthetic of any room. This project is cheap and generally simple for anyone to do as a DIY project. 

Feels Like Home

Before you consider selling your home, think about some ways that you can improve your living situation without having to change location. Some of these projects are major investments, and others are much simpler. Your house is beautiful! It probably just needs a little TLC.
