Christmas in 2020 will definitely be one to remember, for better or worse. This year has brought an unprecedented pandemic and many have been impacted physically, socially, or economically. Many families are stuck at home this Christmas, with plans of vacations canceled due to the virus. Maybe it is time to use the vacation money to make those renovations you have always wanted.
In reality, there are simple renovations you can make to your home this Christmas season that won’t break your bank. These may include kitchen cabinet refinishing, new carpet, new kitchen countertops, wood floor refinishing, new interior paint, bathroom remodel, and more.
Here is a list of the top 5 Christmas home-renovations you won’t regret:
Kitchen Cabinet Refinishing
Are your kitchen cabinets outdated? If so, a kitchen cabinet refinishing or resurfacing may be the best option for you. These budget-friendly services renovate your kitchen to bring you the cabinets you’ve always wanted without having to replace the entire unit.
According to bankrate, “You’ll recoup a little more than 77 percent of the cost of a minor kitchen remodel, on average.”
Cabinet refinishing involves restoring the original shine and luster of your cabinets. The process typically only takes a couple of hours. If you are looking to completely switch the color of your cabinets then a custom cabinet painting service may be right for you. A cabinet color change can brighten up the entire look of your kitchen. Along with a refinishing service, try replacing cabinet doors and handles. Shift to a more modern look with cabinet door replacement.

Manufactured Stone Veneer
A stone veneer upgrade can become a big curbside appeal for potential buyers. Most homes are built with vinyl siding. Consider upgrading your home with stone veneer along entry ways and visually appealing places. It is also estimated that you will recoup 95% of your renovation costs.
New Flooring
Brand new hardwood flooring can be a great addition to your home. Oak, maple, and cherry are the best options for hardwood flooring but other options include walnut, ash, and mahogany. If you enjoy your current hardwood material then a classic floor refinishing service is the best option. This service is worth a fraction of the cost and will give your hardwood floor the shine and color it deserves.
Kitchen Remodels
Kitchen remodels refer to minor kitchen renovations such as new sinks, faucets, appliances, countertops, and more. A smaller project with these renovations would cost around $10,000-$15,000 while a large project of custom cabinets, countertops, or floors would cost around $30,000+.
These renovations give you the flexibility to mix and match according to a budget. Again, you should expect to recoup almost 77 percent of renovation costs, on average.
Build a Deck
More homeowners are leaning towards the trend of an outdoor luxury life-style, especially while being confined to their homes. Building a deck can be a great value addition for your home.
According to homeadvisor, “The average homeowner spends close to $7,000 to build a 200-500 sq. ft. deck, with smaller decks costing as low as $2,000 – and the total cost of the project depends on factors like size, building materials, and extras to enhance functionality.
If you book a deck builder today, most likely your beautiful deck will be finished just in time for spring and summer.
These 5 renovations will not only boost the value of your home but help to replace the lost joy of that Christmas vacation. If you are going to be stuck at home for Christmas and beyond, you might as well make the best of it. Treat yourself or surprise a significant other this Christmas season!
