VENTURA COUNTY — DIY home improvement projects are on the rise, and more homeowners are learning how to save money by renovating their homes without a paid professional. While these improvements can save homeowners money, it can get a bit overwhelming as well. PODS® Local is offering a few helpful tips to help ensure your project is both cost-effective and seamless.
- Be creative– Create a mood board to map out your vision and help you stay on track. This allows you to planbefore diving headfirst into your home improvement project.
- Declutter– Organize your workspace before beginning a DIY project and donate any gently used items to your local thrift or resale store.
- 3. Stay organized– Preparation before any DIY project is key! Create a simple checklist with all the equipment needed to complete each task. This will eliminate any hiccups during the process.
- Easy does it– Start small and ease into your project slowly,so you don’t get overwhelmed. Not only will this reduce your workload, but it also alleviates any added pressure to finish the job during the new renovation.
