1. Fix a Squeaky Floor
How to repair a squeaky floor.
If your floors are squeaking in spite of being in good shape otherwise, Family Handyman suggests using L-bracket joists in order to make everything flush and level, thus reducing the noise that comes from walking in certain areas of the house.
Depending on the construction of your house, and whether or not the floors are exposed in your basement, we can also try adhesive sealants in order to remove those pesky squeaks.
2.Wall Planks for Added Style
Sometimes paint just doesn’t cut it and as home remodeling contractors, we love seeing dimension on walls. Wall planks are a great way to create visual interest in your house. DIY Joy writes that adding shiplap to the walls of your home does not have to be expensive or tedious. Ambitious homeowners can even test their skills and install wall planks on their own time.

3. Paint Your Fireplace
How to paint a fireplace.
Rather than tearing apart an old fireplace, consider its foundation. If the bones of the fireplace are good, perhaps painting existing bricks is the way forward. Don’t like the deep red of the original? Then lighten up the space with fresh white paint. Even switching out the fireplace surround can be less work than discarding everything and starting from scratch.
4. Remove Cabinets or Add Custom Fronts
If you’re not in love with your kitchen cabinets and want to create a more spacious environment in the space, removing fixtures could do the trick. Taking out cabinet doors where possible is a budget-friendly way to make your kitchen feel bigger, all without installing anything new. In addition to removing cabinets with shelves where you’d like to display pretty dishes, Remodelista suggests adding custom fronts like fabric curtains that can easily be moved from one side to the other.
