It is no secret that home renovations are expensive. Home renovation costs can range from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars. However, before you start looking for a new place to live, you might want to try one or more of these five projects.

Garage remodel

Garages may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of home projects, but they’re actually a great option. A garage remodel can give you a fresh and clean new look for your space. It’s also cost-effective and easy to do yourself.garage remodel

If you don’t have space in your home or want to increase your home’s value, this is an ideal project for you. A garage remodel can add up to 10 percent to the value of your home when appropriately completed with working electrics, plumbing if required for workshops, soundproofed, and is watertight and secure.

A garage remodel creates more usable living space and allows for increased storage, perfect for the modern family that needs more room. You can easily create a walk-in closet in your garage with minimal difficulty and expense by adding a few shelves, cabinets, and hooks.

You might even end up making some money off of it by renting out part of your garage as extra storage space or using it as office space on the weekends.

Don’t forget to ensure your garage door is in full working order to allow you complete access and security. Buy Garage Door springs repair or replacement parts to enable you to complete the remodel fully and ensure everything is working as it should be.

New roof

Replacing your roof with an energy-efficient roof is one of the most expensive home renovations you can undertake. However, replacing your roof will not only save you money in the long run but reduce your carbon footprint.

A new roof can range from $5,500 to $11,000, depending on the size of the house and materials used. The average cost is around $8,000. Additionally, this project does not require any experience with building projects or construction work.

While it is reasonable to expect to complete some minor repairs to your roof yourself, a completely new roof should be left to the professionals as they will have the experience, training, and tools to complete the job correctly the first time in a safe way. Undertaking roof replacements yourself can result in injury or the addition of further complications, which in turn can affect your home insurance too.

Kitchen remodel

Believe it or not, you can change your kitchen’s look without spending too much money. A new set of cabinet doors, new hardware, and even paint can make a huge difference. For example, if you want to update your kitchen’s color but don’t want to redo the whole room, go for white with light blue accents. This is a great way to make your kitchen look newly renovated without spending too much money.

Allow the design to flow so your cooking utensils are located next to your cooker and accessories; your dishes are placed close to the sink to avoid you having to traverse the kitchen to put dishes away. For smaller spaces, consider rounded edges to remove sharp corners and maximize space.

Bathroom remodel

The bathroom is one of the most common areas in the house to upgrade. Whether you want to add a new sink, install a new shower curtain, or swap out your toilet to something more sanitary, there are many ways to spruce up your bathroom without having to break the bank.

For example, if you have an aging pedestal sink, you can replace it with a modern stand-alone vanity for less than $200. Toilet installations are also quite affordable, with prices starting at around $350.

For complete bathroom overhauls, popular styles right now include walk-in showers that are open like a wet room with a stand-alone tub located more centrally in the room. Opt for a clean white suit and decorate the room with color for a classic yet timeless look. On average full bathroom remodels can cost anywhere from $2.500 to $30,000, but the average price is around $10,000 for a complete remodel.

Basement remodel

The basement of your home is a great place to turn into a living space. If you don’t have the money for a remodel, choose one of these five simple projects that will allow you to transform your basement into a space that you love.

  • A DIY wine cellar: Make your wine cellar with racks and shelves explicitly built for storing wine bottles on hand or in bulk. Anyone can install these racks and frames without any professional help.
    Install an indoor water feature: Adding some water features in your home can add some life and personality to it. It can also make it more relaxing and enjoyable for everyone who visits.
  • Decorate. A quick and easy way to update any space, but especially your basement is to give it a quick freshen up with a lick of paint. For darker areas, use lighter colors to help reflect light and use mirrors or artwork to add color and personality.
  • TV Room: If your funds don’t stretch to kitting out your basement as a home cinema, then why not add a projector and screen and create a cozy space to relax and watch movies. Use blankets, beanbags, rugs, etc., to make the ultimate movie den.Loft Interior design
