While summer is a great time to partner with
home remodeling contractors and tackle some of those home improvement projects on your list, it is also a busy time with vacations, cookouts, holidays, and generally things that make a big project seem like too much. Luckily, several
quick home remodeling projects that can fit into your summer schedule and still yield excellent results.
Update fixtures
One of the easiest and most cost-effective home remodeling projects that still have a big impact is updating the fixtures and hardware in your home. In kitchens, new sinks, cabinets, and countertops can completely change the look of the space. And with each of these kitchen features, there are a wide variety of styles and materials to choose from. Recently, homeowners have seen trends in deep-basin, metallic-finish sinks, open shelving or translucent-doored cabinets, and butcher’s block or polished concrete counters. Bathrooms can also benefit from an update in hardware, whether it's as simple as new faucets and showerhead or more involved like trading an old shower/bathtub for a sleek-looking
glass shower enclosure. Additionally, in both these spaces and throughout the home, switching up lighting fixtures can make a big difference. For any lighting project, it's important to note that working with a professional will ensure a safe and successful installation.
Give your house a facelift
Several quick home remodeling projects can immediately improve your house’s curb appeal. Giving your house a fresh coat of paint or replacing windows and exterior window treatments can revitalize its facade, while projects that create a more dynamic entryway or front yard landscape can create novel dimensions. For the latter projects, some homeowners may opt for striking decorative driveways, with tinted pavers or stones in interesting patterns, or work with
retaining wall contractors to create a tiered approach to the front door. Creating layers to the front yard offer further opportunities for striking features, like covered porches, gardens, or a stepped walkway with outdoor illumination leading to the front door.
Organize your garage
While this home remodeling project may not seem quite as glamorous as the former projects, a well-organized garage can turn an eyesore into a space that is exceedingly functional and comfortable. For many homeowners, garages don’t just store their vehicles, they also store their gear and surplus home goods, or act as workshops and laundry rooms. With all of its diverse functions, the garage can benefit from a little extra attention. Some improvements to the garage can include installing shelving or a workbench with storage, building partitions and installing flooring to create a comfortable laundry area, or incorporating windows or skylights to transform it from a cave into a light-filled and airy project space.
