Renovating your home can be a very daunting and expensive task, but it doesn't have to be. You can do plenty of easy DIY projects to update your space.                   

Investing a little time and effort can transform your home into the perfect place to relax and enjoy time with your family and friends. Here are four easy home upgrades you can do on your own.

Clean and Paint the Outside Walls

A fresh coat of paint can work wonders on the appearance of your home, but before you start painting, there's one important step you need to take care of first: pressure washing your walls and investing in roof pressure washing.

Pressure washing will remove any dirt, grime, or stains that build up over time –  leaving a clean surface for the paint to adhere to. It's essential to make sure your new paint job looks its best.

If you're not comfortable with the idea of roof pressure washing, you can hire a team of professional roofers (such as those at  Marquis Roofing) to do it for you.

Once you're ready with a clean roof and walls, it's time to get painting!

Add or Change Light Fixtures

Whether you’re looking to add some new light fixtures to brighten up your home, or change out old, outdated ones, doing so can upgrade the look of your house. It’s amazing what a difference just simply changing out a light fixture can make.

There are different types and styles of light fixtures to choose from too. If you’re unsure where to start with this, take some time to browse online or in stores to get an idea of what you like. Once you have an idea of the style you’re going for, it will be much easier to narrow down your choices.

When it comes to installation, unless you feel confident doing it yourself, it’s always best to hire a professional.

Update Your Hardware

Updating the hardware on your doors and cabinets is an easy, simple, and relatively quick way to upgrade the look of your house without spending a large amount of money.

New hardware can give your home a more modern look, or you can choose pieces that fit your home's style. For example, if you have a traditionally styled home, you might want to choose hardware with a more antique finish.

Updating your hardware is also a good way to change the look of your house if you’re getting bored with the same old style. You can experiment with different finishes and materials to find the perfect look for your house.

Install New Flooring

You can upgrade the look of your house by installing new flooring. This is a great way to improve the general appearance of your home, and increase its value at the same time. There are lots of different types of flooring to choose from, so you can find an option that fits your style and budget.

When choosing new flooring for your home, keep these points in mind:

  • The type of flooring you choose should match the style of your home. Hardwood floors will be a good choice if you have a traditional home. You might want to consider laminate or tile floors if you have a more modern home.
  • You should also consider the traffic in your home when choosing new flooring. For example, a carpet might not be the best option if you have pets or children because it can stain easily.
