Home Improvement Projects To Do When You First Move In: 3 Top Picks

1. Garage Door Installations

Garage door installation can be one of the more overlooked home improvement projects to do when you first move in. Previous owners could still get in through the old door, and there might even be a few mechanical issues if the garage has been there a while.

By getting a new garage door, you prevent these while also freshening up your home exterior’s appearance. Doing this doesn’t need to take much time or effort, but you should hire a professional to make sure it’s done right.

2. Update The Bathroom

The bathroom is one of the more notable rooms you could want to focus on, but updating this doesn’t need to be as large of an improvement project as you could think. Even something as simple as changing the faucets and other minor fixtures can have a significant impact.

They’ll also be some of the smaller and more affordable bathroom upgrades you can choose. Since some of them can be done by you, you’ll save even further. It shouldn’t take more than a few hours, depending on how much needs to be done.

3. Painting The Walls

Painting the walls is one of the most obvious home improvement projects to do when you first move in. As obvious as it is, it mightn’t be the first thing you should look at. It could be worth getting all of the other repairs and improvements done first, since these can scrape the walls and cause other damage.

Once you’ve these done, it’s time to get around to it. To make repainting your home less overwhelming, take it room by room. Even getting it done over a few weekends can be a practical way to get everything done without the stress..

Painting your walls will be obvious, but it’s always worth making sure your garage door is perfect, and doing your bathroom up. While this takes a bit of effort, it’ll make your house feel like home and addressing anything that could be a problem.
