Easy DIY Home Improvement Projects Chuck Schmalzried


If you’re looking to get some work done on your house but don’t want to spend loads of money to have a professional do it, consider doing the work yourself. Even if you don’t have any experience in home improvement, there are often plenty of easy do-it-yourself things you can do that will freshen up your home for a much lower cost than hiring a pro. Check out this article to learn more about some rather easy DIY home improvements.


PAINT A ROOM One of the easiest ways to give your walls a boost of vibrant color is by picking up a paint can. This will give them a burst of life and give you the opportunity to transform them into something beautiful. Painting is one of the most popular home improvement projects that you can do yourself. Although you don’t have to be a pro to paint a room, it’s definitely not as easy as just throwing paint on the wall. Be sure to research the proper painting techniques before giving it a go yourself.


RE-CAULK YOUR BATHROOM One of the worst things you can discover about your home is that the caulk in your bathroom is getting old. It’ll start to show signs of cracking and brittleness and probably have a brownish tinge as well, which can allow water to seep through and turn your walls and framing into mush. Caulk can be found anywhere, between your sink and your tile surround, or even under your shower stall. This simple process can be done in just an hour, and it’s very easy to apply, as long as you’re following the correct instructions.


ADD SOME CROWN MOLDING TO YOUR HOME One of the most popular home improvement projects that people tend to do is add crown molding. This is because it adds value and charm to a house and is easier to do than you might think. One of the most popular types of crown molding is the Trimroc from Canamould Extrusions, which is a lightweight foam that’s been coated in hard plaster. This material cuts smoothly and doesn’t have any tricky angles or joints. It can be used in just a few weekends to transform a plain room into an elegant space.


ADD SOME INSULATION TO YOUR FLOORS Getting up in the morning and having to deal with the cold floor is not ideal, especially if you have to go to the bathroom. Having a warm and resilient floor is also important to keep your home warm and welcoming. If you’re looking to add some style and warmth to your room, consider investing in a cork floor. This natural material can be used to create a sleek and stylish floor. Due to the innovation of engineered panels, which are designed to snap together without nails or glue, cork floors are easier to install than ever before. They can also be used over existing flooring, such as concrete or plywood.
