The start of a new year introduces a fresh perspective on home improvement projects, especially for those who are partial to the DIY approach. This year, why not make use of lumber as a main building supply and use it to create beautiful, custom wood designs for your space? Armed with a bit of know-how and quality lumber from a reputable source, you can create installations for inside and outside that will bring your renovation visions to life. 

3 Do-It-Yourself Projects to Tackle This Year

1. Add a Pergola

lumberPergolas are a trendy exterior addition that provide shade and a comfortable seating area to place a dining table or comfortable chairs. This modern structure can help breathe new life into any outdoor space. If you love the idea of entertaining outside during the spring and summer, it may be in your best interest to research the steps towards building one of your own. Strong, durable lumber should be used to erect the pergola to ensure quality, stability, and safety. Ask your local lumberyard about which types of wood the recommend for this project before you begin.

2. Rethink Your Kitchen Design

A tired, outdated kitchen can make the entire house seem drab and unwelcoming. This year, why not try reimagining your kitchen design with gorgeous, rich lumber from a local provider. Whether you incorporate it into your cabinets, island countertop or backsplash, the right wood will bring a timeless, natural aesthetic that lends to a fresh and clean atmosphere you’ll love. 

3. Porch Repair

Nothing beats an evening spent out on the porch, enjoying friends or family with a cold drink. However, with a broken porch, this opportunity is squandered. This year, take on porch repair with help from your local lumber yard and a couple of friends. While this is a major job, it can certainly be done without professional supervision so long as you begin with the right materials and a can-do attitude. Porch repair is an excellent spring and summer project and can add incredible value and appeal to your home.
