If your bathroom tile is outdated, cracking or otherwise unappealing, there?s no need to pay someone to replace it. It?s something any DIYer can do with the right tools and know-how.
Your porch's concrete steps take a lot of abuse over time from foot traffic and the elements. Eventually, the concrete can crack, crumble or fall apart, becoming a tripping or slipping hazard.
Your roof was designed to protect your home from bad weather, not invite it in. If your roof springs a leak, you've got to spring into action ? left unchecked, a leaky roof can cause severe water damage and can even destroy the structure of your home.
Your basement could be costing you money. Adding insulation can keep your basement and ground floors warmer, lower your heating bills and make your home more energy-efficient.
The basement is the foundation of your home, so rightfully you worry if you see moisture on walls or floors. Don't panic if you have a leak. You can waterproof your basement to dry it up and hold back any encroaching water.
It's inevitable. No matter how careful you are, holes in your drywall are going to happen. Fortunately, no matter how extensive the damage, it is fixable.
A tile backsplash protects your kitchen walls from splatters and spray, while enlivening them with a decorative splash. Installing a backsplash takes care, but can be a rewarding weekend project for any DIYer.
Your foundation literally supports your entire house. Not only do cracks look bad, but they can eventually weaken structural integrity, which can mean high-cost repairs. The faster you fix cracks before they can grow, the easier and cheaper the repairs will be.
Cracks are not only unattractive, they can grow and cause the driveway to crumble. Whether you have an asphalt or concrete driveway, the more proactive you are at repairing cracks, the longer your driveway will last without the need for expensive resurfacing.
Many older homes may still have some walls and ceilings made of plaster and lath instead of the now standard drywall or wallboard. If you have holes or cracks in your plaster walls or ceilings, repairing them isn?t difficult. It can, however, require a bit more extra time and skill than patching a hole in drywall.
If your home heating and cooling costs are going through the roof, it could be that your attic needs to be better insulated. Proper attic insulation can make your home more cost- and energy-efficient by keeping air warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
