Home Improvement

Resolutions for the New Year: 3 Home Projects Worth Tackling 

By Staff

New Year’s resolutions are not always easy to keep. But when they’re project related, that means they have a completion date — and that’s the best type of resolution. 

Here are three home improvement projects you can tackle yourself — or you can hire a Dan’s Papers Home Pro to do it for you and remove the stress.  

Kitchen cabinets

Are your drawer pulls and knobs on your cabinets outdated? Try adding cabinet hardware with some color to spice up the appearance of the kitchen. It’s easy to do, unless you want to replace the cabinets altogether. 

Faucets 

A bathroom renovation is notoriously aggravating. So try focusing on a smaller project that can still give you plenty of upside. Replacing the bathroom faucet isn’t as difficult as you might think. With just a basin wrench and a few other tools, you can get a refresh and save water too.  

Insulation 

The chief job of a home is to keep you warm, especially in cold weather. Is it time to reinsulate your attic or crawl space? Or maybe just plug up any drafts in windows or doors? It’s easy — and it’ll save money. 

If you’re looking for pros for these jobs, like kitchen and bath specialists and HVAC professionals, check out Dan’s Papers Home Pros. Each listing includes project galleries, bio information, testimonials and contact information so you can reach out to them directly.

Are you a home services professional looking for exposure to an engaged audience of millions of monthly visitors? If so, now is a great time to join NYC Home Pros. 

We are excited to announce an annual promotion for all new LI Home Pros members that commit to a full 2022 calendar year membership. This sale represents the best pricing new members can receive for the entire year — up to half off!
