It’s Less Expensive Than You Think!
Let’s face it, home improvement projects can be daunting. You keep putting them off, but you would LOVE to have them finished. Deciding what to do, finding the right people to do it, making time in the schedule, and the unknown costs often prevent you from actually getting them done.
The upside is there are several smaller projects that don’t require a complete home renovation and that won’t bust your budget. Here are 4 simple projects under $4,000 that not only help you love your home again, but significantly increase its value at the same time.
1. Killing it with Kitchen Cabinets
Average Cost: $3750 (depends on size & paint selection)
Repainting your kitchen cabinets is definitely one of the easiest, lowest cost projects that will freshen up your home and remind you why you bought it in the first place. You will wow your guests with a new color and clean lines that will make it seem like you did a full kitchen renovation. Swap out the knobs, handles, and hardware to change the look and feel of the room, making it seem new again.
Most importantly, KEEP the existing cabinets to save a ton of money, making this project a no brainer for most kitchens that are either dated, have experienced their share of wear and tear, or simply to give a fresh look to your most important room in the house.
In addition to our reputation for Interior Painting in the Annapolis area, we are experts in Cabinet Painting and Refinishing, and recently acquired a top of the line spray booth, which provides the optimum environment for painting cabinets, furniture, and more, ensuring the highest quality paint application and finishing that will endure for many years to come. We even offer a full warranty on the cabinet painting so contact us to get on our schedule today.
2. A Splash of Color on Your Main Level
Average Cost: $3,000 (varies of course)
Nothing signifies an obvious change in your home more than painting the interior of the rooms where you spend the most time. A new color, perhaps an accent wall, will liven up that space and give you an opportunity to make it more airy, lighter and seem brand new again. A new coat of paint on the walls is much less expensive than you might think and it is definitely not one of those DIY jobs, especially because most people just don’t like painting. Of course, most homeowners aren’t very good at it either. This IS our expertise; we are expert painters. We have very high quality work at more than reasonable prices, and we always leave your home looking fantastic with clean lines and looking its best.
3. Make Your Powder Room Pop
Average Cost: $1,500 (varies of course)
Another important room in your home that most guests will surely visit is the powder room. Usually found near your primary entertaining space on the main floor, you can make this room pop and improve the value of your home with a few simple upgrades.
A new coat of paint on the walls, moulding, and baseboards will instantly make a world of difference. Wallpaper is even making a comeback for those a bit more adventurous and wanting to bring a bit of flare. Most have vanities so rather than replace, we’ll paint them and replace the hardware. Let’s take down that builder grade mirror and replace it with a framed mirror that brings some color, shape and texture to the room. We will swap out the lighting to make sure it is ambient and appropriate for the decor. A photo or image for the wall, a candle or two, and maybe a simple piece of home decor, and voila!
4. Crown Moulding, Shiplap, Chair Rails & Trim
Average Cost: $1,500 (depends on many variables)
Adding some wall enhancements can significantly increase the elegance of your home. You could add some shiplap paneling to the wall behind your flat screen in the family room or in your bedroom adds some flare and texture, and potentially a fun color or accent wall. Crown moulding throughout your main level brings a more elegant feel to your primary entertaining space, lending some perspective and high end finishes that will surely increase your home’s value. Chair rails in the dining room, in the hallways, and going up the stairs will immediately grab attention and have you wondering why you never considered it before. Something as simple as a new trim package will refresh your room, restoring it to seem like new again.
Wall enhancements like these must be professionally installed, by experts who understand not only the design elements but also how to install these features correctly. Our team has over 20 years installing crown moulding, chair rails, shiplap, wainscoting, and more in the Annapolis area.
