The COVID-19 pandemic has left many of us with extra time. If we aren’t going to sports games, out to dinner, or to the movies, chances are we are spending time at home. What better time to touch-up your house? With the extra time on your hands you can accomplish a lot without needing to spend much money or hire a contractor. Not to mention – little home improvements will increase the market value of your home should you ever decide to sell it. Here are a few easy, cheap home improvement projects for you to consider.
- Declutter – many people are guilty of having too much stuff that they don’t use. Take this opportunity to sift through your belongings and decide whether you want to keep them, sell them, donate them, or throw them away. You will be amazed at how much extra space you have and how much easier it is to keep the house clean and maintained when you have less ‘junk’.
- Paint – give your walls a fresh coat. It’s easier, not too expensive, and will make the house look like new.
- Replace outdated appliances – if you have been wanting to buy a new oven, bathroom vanity, or light fixtures, now is the time. You are spending a lot more time at home – so you might as well enjoy it.
- Pick an outdoor project – plant a garden, stain the deck, or cut back on some overgrown vegetation. The outside of your home is the first impression that people get when they come over, so make it nice!
- Get a free energy audit – many utility companies offer audits as a way of getting more business. See what you can do to make your home more energy efficient.
