Your home is your sanctuary. It’s where you and your family and friends make memories and relax after a long day. However, you’ll need to keep up with maintenance and updates if you want to keep your home in great shape. Having home improvement and yard projects on your to-do list is also a great way to help increase its overall value should you look to put it on the market in the future. Our team has put together a list of some projects, big or small, that you can undertake this spring.
1. Complete Some Paint Jobs
One of the easiest ways to enhance your home’s appearance is to paint. Whether your interior walls, ceilings or exterior siding need some TLC, a fresh coat of paint will help make your home pop and look like new, which will entice potential buyers if you’re on the market. It can also protect the exterior over time from the elements, including rain and the sun’s rays. Don’t forget primer to assist in preserving your hard work and making the process go smoothly.
2. Tackle a Little Landscaping
Once the winter weather has subsided, it’s time to think about the greenery and other features around your property. Landscaping is a process that homes and commercial spaces rely on to add curb appeal and personalize their surroundings. Whether you’re looking to create an eye-opening look in your front yard or just want to keep things looking clean and well-kept, you can take on landscaping without needing to hire a professional, allowing you to create a look all your own.
There are plenty of helpful tools, including trimmers and edgers that allow you to clean up your lawn while maintaining sharp lines. You can turn to products such as mulch and landscape rocks to help your design or features stand out. If you’re hoping to make your yard the envy of the neighborhood, lawn care and landscaping supplies can help your grass grow in nicely as spring rolls around.
3. Add or Update a Garden
When spring is in full bloom, gardens take center stage. This is why so many homeowners turn to our inventory of gardening supplies to help get their gardens ready for the change of seasons. Whether you have a green thumb or are just starting out, we are here to help.
There are an array of garden tools that can assist you, including wheelbarrows that help you move soil where you need it and gloves that help you keep your hands clean while working in the dirt. And no garden would be complete without plants and flowers. You can choose cheery and colorful blooms to brighten your space or trees and bushes for a sense of privacy. Look to the many styles of pots and planters to make your favorites easy to showcase.
4. Create an Outdoor Entertainment Area
Few things go better with warmer weather than sitting out in your yard and reading in a hammock or enjoying an evening under the stars. Enhancing your outdoor area with deck boards and railings will let you construct a space you’ll love. It’s also smart to add patio furniture, to help you and your guests stay comfortable. You can choose between chairs to tables to full patio sets, allowing you to find the right pieces for your available space. You can even consider adding a gazebo or pergola for outdoor seating space that is shielded from the elements.
Another aspect of outdoor living is making sure you’ve got proper lighting. Having lights near your patio or deck allows you to use the space day or night. There are landscape and deck lights that help illuminate your favorite areas, as well as decorative outdoor lights and string lights that create the atmosphere you’re looking for.
5. Enhance Outdoor Storage with a New Shed
Working in the yard feels great, but you need somewhere to store all of your tools and equipment. While you could store items a garage, some homes don’t have them, and ones that do generally need them for vehicles. Adding a shed can help you keep your outdoor items organized so they are there when you need them. It also means you’ll be able to store tools and supplies in the same place year-round – no more moving your lawn mower into an off-property storage unit, and you won’t have to deal with it taking up precious garage space all winter.
6. Make Simple Repairs
Spring cleaning is something many people have grown accustomed to, but seasonal maintenance and repairs are other habits worth getting into. Throughout the years, our properties take on lots of wear and tear, which is why it’s important to make updates. Not only will this help our properties last, but it will also keep them looking their best and help increase their overall value. Whether you are considering DIY kitchen renovation, hardwood floor refinishing or minor bathroom upgrades, make sure you have the right power tools and accessories from the brands such as DeWALT.
7. Update Your Air Conditioning Unit
Most people won’t think twice about HVAC equipment until it’s too late. Spring is the perfect time to inspect your air conditioner or have a professional come out and take a look. That way, if anything needs to be repaired or replaced, you’ll have enough time to take care of it before the summer heat takes over. If you don’t own an AC unit or think yours needs to be replaced, check out our selection, which includes installed models, window units and portable units.
