"Affordable home improvement" sometimes can feel like a Paradox.
Without a doubt, maintaining and improving your home does come with a hefty price tag - most homeowners know this. There are a couple of factors, such as the age of the house, material quality, size, and most time, the property's location. Poor home conditions will lead to deterioration, such as old wiring, faulty plumbing, or old appliances.
Many factors deter the value of a home when there is poor home improvement by the homeowner. A few of such are as follows;
- Poor Workmanship
- Flood Risks
- Inadequate Energy
- Lack of plantation (Trees, flowers)
- Substandard Kitchen
- Contaminated Land
- Infestation, etc...
After all, a property grows old just like us, right? So it's very much safe to say that all homes need redecorating, renovating, and refurbishing from time to time throughout it's life, so as they keep their value or even increase in value.

Painting your floors during home renovation can be a budget-friendly way to bring color, value, and unique customization to your home. Floors indeed experience more wear and tear than other parts of your home. So, other than changing them, we should focus on refreshing, renovating for a simple and budget-friendly home improvement project. There are various options to go about giving life to your floors, such as polishing the wood floor surface, buffing with a dry microfiber cloth, using laminate floors, or using vinyl.
