5 Affordable DIY Home Improvements

Making a few small changes and improvements around your home doesn't have to break the bank. Here are 5 affordable DIY improvements to consider:

  1. Landscape. Routine lawn care, replacing flagstones, and planting flowers and low-cost trees can go a long way—potentially adding to your home’s value.
  2. Repaint. Painting a room yourself does require time, effort, and planning. But you’ll be amazed at the difference a few gallons can make.
  3. Replace kitchen hardware. Updating cabinet and drawer pulls with more modern styles, like brushed nickel, matte black, or even leather, is as affordable as it is impressive.
  4. Install keypad door locks. A low-cost keyless lock helps amp up security and can be programmed with multiple codes for different users. Installation only requires a screwdriver.
  5. Stain the deck. What to do with a faded, chipped, or weather-worn backyard deck? Reseal it in a new shade of wood stain, like chestnut, redwood, or black.
