3. Fixtures

An outdated bathroom could use a little sprucing up by upgrading the bathroom fixtures. A new showerhead or sink faucets are simple remodeling projects that can update a bathroom in a short amount of time. Although these projects are small, they still make a big impact.

4. Wainscoting

Adding wainscoting to bathroom walls gives it a fresh look. It comes in pre-painted panels that can be put on the wall in one piece. This remodeling project can be completed in half a day. 

Flooring Updates

5. Install new Carpet

Flooring upgrades always make a home look new again.  Carpet can start to thin out and lose its softness, especially after a busy holiday season.  If this is the case, it’s time to install new carpeting. The modern types and textures available range from waterproof to frieze to ribbed carpet. Soft and plush carpet is cozy and inviting when the weather turns cold.

6. Hardwood Floors

Want a cleaner look to the floors? Installing hardwood floors during winter months provides better insulation and quicker drying time if adhesives are used. The cold air also helps to prevent gapping in the floorboards. Existing hardwood floors should be replaced if there is bubbling underneath.

Basement Remodel

7. Finished Basement

A finished basement can be used as a dedicated space for a home office, extra bedroom, a space to relax, or a family room.  A basement remodel can also add value to a home. All the work related to remodeling a basement during the winter months is completed indoors.  

8. Insulation

Protection from winter weather is one of the purposes of having a home. One way to ensure that interior spaces stay warm during the winter is to add or replace the insulation in attics.  Adding insulation in cold weather will keep homes warmer and energy costs down. A thorough inspection should be completed to determine the areas where energy is lost and the amount of insulation needed.
