Top 5 Home Improvement Projects for 2019

Have you been putting some remodeling and home improvement projects off? A new year is a great time to put together a to-do list to accomplish all of these projects throughout the year. Since 2019 is quickly approaching, we have come up with 5 basic home improvement projects that should be added to every new year’s resolution list.

  1. Fresh paint

From the inside to the outside of your home, a fresh coat of paint is a great way to start off a new year fresh! East Valley Painters can help you accomplish this with interior and exterior painting services available. Maybe you want to change the color of a room or just add a fresh coat to the exterior of your home. A new paint job adds a clean and beautiful look to any home. Plus, the weather is always ideal in Arizona during January and February, so it is a home improvement project that can help you start off the year right. Keep in mind that neutral colors like grays and beiges are always a safe hit.

  1. Organize closets

A new year is a time to be out with the old and make room for the new. Get organized in 2019 by cleaning out and organizing all of your closets and even kitchen pantries. You might be able to find things you have been looking for or toss out things that should have been gone years ago.

  1. Service your HVAC Unit

You want your HVAC unit to be ready for the warm summer months, so the beginning of the year is a great time to have your unit checked and serviced. Schedule a tune-up before it gets to warm so that you will know your HVAC unit will work properly when you need it in the middle of summer. Don’t forget to change all of the filters and clean the vents!

  1. Clean windows

A fresh coat of paint is going to look even better with clean windows. Or maybe you want to completely upgrade and change your windows. Either way, to improve the look of your home, routinely clean the inside and outside of your windows. Arizona has sunshine year round, so there is always great weather to get the job done. Plus, who doesn’t love windows that sparkle and shine?

  1. Upgrade light fixtures

Improve the style of your home by adding or upgrading your light fixtures. Shine this new year with new stunning fixtures from the inside to the outside of your home. The interior of your home can be even more stylish with the right fixtures in your entryway, hallways, kitchen, and bathrooms. The exterior of your home can add extra style with a new fixture on your porch, entryway or patio. You can also add flair to your yard by updating your landscape by adding or changing out your light fixtures.

Painting Your Home: Prioritizing Rooms

Thinking of painting multiple rooms? It may not be as easy as you think. You will actually need to strategize and plan ahead for a smooth painting process. That means picking which rooms to paint first and which rooms to save for last. Check out this most effective room order for when you want to update the pain in multiple rooms throughout your home.

Bedrooms and Bathrooms

You will want to paint your bedrooms and bathrooms first thing and get them out of the way. This is because you want your bathroom to be available for use and you want to be able to use your broom to sleep in and for a place to go to keep the paint fumes out when you’re painting the rest of your house.

Kitchen

The kitchen is another room you won’t want to paint first as well. This is because you don’t want your food like your fresh produce to go bad and you will still be able to use your kitchen. This means you will not be forced to eat out for days. The kitchen needs to be a room that is easily accessible like your bathrooms.

Living Room or Den

Since the living room or den is going to be one of the largest rooms to paint in your home, it will also be one of the most difficult and takes the longest to complete. You will want to cover your furniture or remove it out of the room completely. This can cause a mess, which is why having your bedroom done before hand is a good idea so you can use it to escape the mess and paint fumes.

Laundry Room

You are going to want to wait and paint your laundry room last. Make sure to wash all of your clothes first and never leave any clothes in the room while you are painting because you never want your clothes to smell like paint. This is another reason why having your bedroom done first will be helpful, so that you can keep your clothes in there while working on your laundry room.

Tip

If you are not choosing to use a safer paint option that cuts down on the paint fumes, you will want to light a candle or open your windows to air out the house and reduce the smell of paint.
