Home Improvements and DIY

The process of upgrading or adding to one’s home is known as Home improvements, home renovation, or remodeling.

Home renovation projects might include projects to repair an existing home’s inside (such as electricity and plumbing), the exterior (masonry, concrete, siding, roofing), or additional upgrades to the property (such as garden work or garage maintenance/additions).

Home renovation projects can be undertaken for a variety of reasons, including personal preference and comfort, maintenance or repair work, making a home larger by adding rooms/spaces, as a means of saving energy, or increasing safety.

While “house renovation” frequently refers to building projects that alter the structure of an existing home, it can also apply to modifications to lawns, gardens, and outdoor structures such as gazebos and garages.

Home Improvements, Repair, and General Servicing Chores

Home Improvements, Repair, and General Servicing Chores
  • You can give your dreary, washed-out walls a burst of dazzling depth (or wash away your decorating sins with virgin white) simply by picking up a paint can and getting to work. That is the magic of a fresh coat of paint: it rearranges your reality. As a result, painting is the most common DIY Home Improvements project. While you don’t have to be an expert to learn how to paint like one, there is more to a good paint job than just slathering some color on the wall. See our how-to instructions for perfectly coating your walls in one weekend, from the first scratch of the pole sander to the final feather of the brush in Home Improvements.
  •  Fortunately, there is an easy solution to miter-saw irritation. Trimroc molding is a lightweight polystyrene foam coating in hard plaster by Canamould Extrusions. It cuts easily with a handsaw and assembles quickly with a joint compound. There is no coping, no hard angles, and ragged joints are easily removed with a dab of mud. So, with just one weekend, you can transform a basic room into an attractive space—while still making time for the rest of your to-do list. 
  • Many hanging lanterns from the first part of the twentieth century were simple in design, appearing to have been created by blacksmiths rather than by machines. Popularized by tastemakers of the day, such as Gustav Stickley and the Roycroft artisans, these rustic lanterns typified a back-to-basics design sensibility. If you found one at a yard sale or have one stowed in the attic, you can urge people to “come on in” by resurrecting a historic lantern. Once you get the parts, it’s a simple and inexpensive job for Home Improvements.
  • Sunlight shining through windows can be an annoyance. Not to mention the neighbors who have additional evening hours to peer into your brightly lit living room. To keep inquisitive eyes at bay, you could install shades, but swinging wood shutters would be far more appealing. Interior shutters were the original “window coverings,” often employed in Southern and urban homes, and they’re still a terrific way to add architectural and historical detail to Home Improvements. They also serve to keep out the harsh winds of winter and the scorching heat of summer. They’re also simple to install on any window because they attach to a tiny frame that is either within the window opening or around the outside of the casing.
  • Your kitchen feels cave-like because the black cabinetry has sucked all the light out of the space. As long as the frames and doors are technically sound, you can clean them up and put on some new paint on a weekend to change that drab kitchen into a cheerful one. A strong cleanser, sandpaper, a paintbrush, and some elbow grease are all you need. What you don’t need is a lot of cash, because the change will cost you a fraction of the cost of even the most basic new cabinets.
  • Divide perennials every three to six years to thin clump-forming kinds such as the daylily (pictured below), which blooms from late spring to late summer. This method can also be used to regulate plant size, stimulate growth, and increase the number of specimens in a garden. Splitting apart spring- and summer-blooming perennials in late summer or before the first frost is a reasonable rule of thumb.
  • Millions of homes have converted to bottled drinking water due to worries about the quality or flavor of their tap water. Such issues exist across the country, regardless of whether the water comes from a municipal pipeline or a ground well. However, there is a simpler and less expensive way to obtain clean drinking water: install an under-sink water filtration system at Home Improvements.
  • The weather and the passage of time had taken their toll on the exterior of this 94-year-old, solid cypress door. In some areas, varnish flakes adhered to the wood, while the rest of the surface was rough and dried out from the effects of water and sun. Wood entry doors are subjected to the same attacks all over the world, and many of them end up in the trash, replaced with low-maintenance, mass-produced metal and fiberglass equivalents. However, with a few inexpensive materials, you can breathe new life into your ancient door for Home Improvements.
  • The uncovered side of most staircases is largely disregarded, while the newel post and balusters receive all of the focus. A plain stringer can be transformed into an exquisite eye-catcher with the addition of ornate stair brackets. We used easy-to-install, low-cost wood brackets that are attached with adhesive and nails in Home Improvements.
  • Vinyl tile existed long before durable sheet flooring and plastic-laminate planks. Vinyl tile gained popularity as an alternative to linoleum because it was colorful, easy to clean, and fracture resistant. The 12×12-inch tiles are available in a wide range of colors, patterns, and textures, making it simple to create checkerboard patterns and floors with contrasting borders. Here, we’ll show you how to install self-adhesive tiles in a professional manner in Home Improvements.
  • If putting up a typical tile backsplash feels a little out of your DIY range in Home Improvements, installing one built from a single sheet of solid surface material could be your saving grace. Shaping, cutting, and gluing up this low-cost stock material—available in a range of colors and patterns from firms like Swanstone, which creates the beadboard backsplash shown here—is a weekend project that most novices can complete with confidence. And once you’ve installed your streamlined backsplash, you’ll wonder why you ever thought about tile in the first place.
