Easy Home Improvements and Repairs

We have now entered unofficial home improvement season, so it is time to bust out your residential work gear! After a long winter, the warmer months give homeowners the opportunity to tackle a host of new projects inside and out.
If you are a fan of home improvement television shows, there are probably millions of ideas floating around in your mind at any given moment, but are any of them feasible? What does your budget say? The great part about owning a home is that you have more than enough time to upgrade, renovate and personalize. The jaw-dropping transformations you see on HGTV are only possible because the hosts have a hefty amount of funds and large crews working around the clock. For now, you can get great results both in terms of aesthetics and ROI by sticking to a few simple home improvement jobs. Your goal may to be sell the property for a higher value or to mix things up, and these projects are guaranteed to exceed the expectations for both! Ideas for Easy Home Upgrades

• Research and pick out paint swatches – color does so much to a space! It can make small rooms look larger than they are and make dark areas bright and inviting. You will be amazed at what a fresh coat of paint can do, so stop procrastinating and get to painting! Lighter color palettes and schemes are best for homes being listed on the market. The goal is to help prospective buyers see the space as their own, so aim to create a clean slate with neutral tones.
• Give your windows a makeover – window coverings are a must-have for every home. Whether it is blinds, drapes, curtains or  shutters, changing your window coverings will make a huge difference in your home décor. Window treatments offer many functional benefits (e.g. privacy, light control, etc.) and serve as an aesthetic focal piece. In addition, they’re easy and fast to install!

• Swap out that old hardware – When attempting to spruce up your home, it truly is the little things that count.
