How many times as a homeowner have you actually step back
and said, “There! Our home is now perfect.” Probably never, right? As you know,
being a homeowner means that your work is never actually done. Whether it's big
projects like renovating a kitchen or similar projects like cleaning out a
closet or organizing your garage, there is always something that comes out and
needs to be completed. So, we've put together a list of as few different home
projects and what they costs in order to help you with your own projects in the
future.
Project 1: Get the closet of your dreams
When it comes to getting the closet of your dreams it will
probably be helpful to know the various different types of closets, key measurements,
storage solutions that are available. A costs for something like a closet can
range anywhere from a few hundred dollars, if you're building a small linen
closet. To several thousand dollars if
you want a higher quality and customized closet.
Project 2: Turn a square bedroom into a walk-in closet
If you need additional storage space, converting to an empty
bedroom into a walk-in closet can help solve this problem. The cost for
something like this can range anywhere from $500-$12,000 or more, again depending
upon how fancy you want to get. If you're just looking for storage options, we
suggest going with the low-end walk-in closet, which will cost you as low as
$500.
Project 3: Create a secret doorway behind a bookcase
Not only does this add a fun aspect to you home, but it also
gives you more storage space by converting a door into a bookshelf. The cost
for something like this will normally range between $1200-$2000.
Project 4: Design a family photo wall
This is actually a simple project that can transform a blank
wall until worker's. If you choose to do yourself installation can cost as low
as $300. However, if you're not comfortable doing it yourself and want to hire
someone to help, you could end up spending around $3000 or more depending on the
designer you choose.
Project 5: Make your garage is a storage powerhouse
A messy garage does not have to be the norm. By building an
intricate web of shelves and storage units in your garage you can transform a
messy beast into a functional working space. The cost for something like this
could cost anywhere from $1000 to $3000 and depending on how intricate you
design your shelving.
Project 6: Remodel your fireplace
Fireplaces can be the most aesthetically pleasing feature in
your home. So, if it's a run down or simply needing a makeover, there are
several options to choose from. Drywalling over a brick fireplace could run
about $1500. A floor to ceiling paint grade oak or poplar
fireplace with tiled hearth could run around $2000. A cheaper option you could
look into would be a faux brick wall that could cover your existing fireplace.
This would still give you the look of brick, but with an updated flair. Faux
brick walls are durable and look exactly like the real thing, but our fraction
of the cost.
There are countless projects you and your family could dream
up while living in your home. So a good rule of thumb to follow, is make a list
of the most important projects and their costs to help you decide which ones
are best for you. Good luck!
