Increase The Value Of Your Home With These DIY Projects

by Nancy Heim-berg

Increase The Value Of Your Home With These DIY Projects With patience, the right tools and a little sweat equity you can use your free time to increase the value of your house. Whether you are looking to sell now or in the future, there are many projects you can do on your own, in your own time, to improve the overall aesthetic and appeal of your home for future buyers. 

Below we have listed a few DIY projects that you can tackle over a week, weekend or even a month that are sure to increase the value of your home. Let’s dive in: 

-Painting the interior of your home is one of the most cost-effective home improvement projects for you to dive into. When it comes to buyer impressions, a fresh coat of paint can do more for your home than you think. It’s smart to stick with neutral paint colors to not only ensure it appeals to a wide variety of people, but also to keep your space looking fresh and clean.

-Giving your bathroom a refresh is another great way to appeal to buyers, as many people put a large focus on the aesthetic of the room. An outdated bathroom can really age your home and be a large turn off. It can be as simple as upgrading fixtures such as pulls and knobs, changing out the shower curtain, buying new towel to display and updating lighting fixtures.

-Refinishing or painting your kitchen cabinets is a very effective way to change the entire look and feel of your kitchen. Seeing as how many families spend a lot of time in kitchen, it is an area buyers really take a look at. While this can be a time consuming project, the payoff can be well worth it.

-Not many things date a house more than popcorn ceilings, which is why our next project for you to tackle is removing it from each room in your home. With the proper equipment and instruction, you can have those smooth ceilings in no time.

-This next project can seem like a daunting task, but if done right can really provide a great return on investment. Replacing your wall-to-wall carpeting with hard flooring is a great way to impress buyers and stay competitive in today’s market. This can be an involved process so be sure to plan ahead and have the proper tools on hand. 

-Our last DIY project will take you outdoors as you spruce up and improve your yard. Curb appeal is very important when potential buyers view your home. Doing small things such as planting flowers, removing weeds, buying new outdoor furniture, or even installing a fire pit can all go a long way.
