10 Home Renovations to Complete Before Thanksgiving from Reliable General Contracting
As Thanksgiving 2024 approaches, many homeowners are eager to get their spaces ready for the season. At Reliable General Contracting, we know the value of making a home not only look great but also function perfectly for family gatherings. Whether it’s a quick refresh or a larger renovation, we’ve got you covered. Here are 10 renovations we recommend to have your home ready for the holiday season.
1. FRESH INTERIOR PAINT
A fresh coat of paint can completely transform a room. We at Reliable know that the right color makes all the difference, and we’re experts at helping you select warm, inviting shades that set the perfect tone for holiday gatherings. Whether you’re updating the living room, dining area, or guest bedroom, new paint is a quick, effective way to refresh your home.
2. UPGRADE YOUR KITCHEN BACKSPLASH
The kitchen is the heart of the home, especially around Thanksgiving. One of the best ways to give your kitchen a modern touch without a full remodel is by updating the backsplash. We offer a variety of options—from classic subway tile to eye-catching mosaics—ensuring that your kitchen looks fresh and stylish for the holidays.
3. NEW FLOORING INSTALLATION
At Reliable, we believe in making every step in your home count. If your floors are outdated or worn, now is the time to consider installing new flooring. Whether you’re dreaming of hardwood, luxury vinyl, or plush new carpet, we provide top-tier installation that’s efficient and flawless. New flooring not only enhances your home’s beauty but also makes it more comfortable for all those holiday foot traffic moments.
4. OPEN CONCEPT BY REMOVING WALLS
Feeling cramped in your current layout? Opening up your space is one of the most transformative renovations you can undertake. Reliable’s experienced team can safely and efficiently remove non-load-bearing walls to create an open, flowing floor plan. Imagine a seamless space where the kitchen, dining, and living areas all connect, perfect for hosting those large Thanksgiving dinners.
5. INSTALL NEW LIGHTING
Lighting can make or break a room’s ambiance. Updating outdated fixtures with modern, energy-efficient options can instantly elevate your home. Whether it’s statement chandeliers over your dining table or pendant lighting above your kitchen island, Reliable’s team will ensure that your space is lit perfectly, making every gathering warm and welcoming.
6. CLEAN UP WITH A POWERWASH
Before your guests even step inside, your home’s exterior makes an impression. Reliable offers professional power washing services to clean up your siding, driveway, and walkways. Over time, grime builds up on these surfaces, but a thorough power wash will make your home look as good as new, ready to welcome visitors with a sparkling exterior.
7. PORCH OR DECK REPAIR
A well-maintained porch or deck is essential for welcoming guests or hosting outdoor gatherings, even during the cooler fall months. Our team at Reliable can handle any repairs needed—whether it’s replacing warped boards, fixing railings, or giving your deck a fresh coat of stain. Let us help you ensure your outdoor spaces are safe, inviting, and ready for entertaining.
8. REVAMP THE GUEST BATHROOM
Thanksgiving often means guests, and nothing says "welcome" like a beautifully updated guest bathroom. Reliable can help you with everything from new faucets and light fixtures to a full bathroom refresh. We’ll make sure your guest bathroom is modern, comfortable, and stylish, ready for friends and family to enjoy.
9. WHITE WASH THE FIREPLACE
At Reliable General Contracting, we know the charm a fireplace brings, especially during the holidays. If your brick fireplace feels outdated or too dark, a whitewash can instantly transform it. Whitewashing softens the look of red or brown brick, giving it a bright, modern finish while still preserving its natural texture. This simple but impactful update can completely refresh your living room, creating a cozy, welcoming focal point just in time for Thanksgiving. Whether you're gathering around the fire for warmth or decorating the mantel, a whitewashed fireplace sets the perfect tone for the season.
10. REFRAME THE ENTRYWAY
Your entryway sets the first impression for anyone walking into your home. Reliable’s carpentry team can help reframe this area with custom woodwork, built-in storage, or new doors. Whether it’s functional upgrades or aesthetic enhancements, we’ll make sure your entryway is as welcoming as the hospitality you offer inside.
With Reliable General Contracting, you can feel confident that your home will be holiday-ready. From installing new floors to revamping your bathroom, we handle every detail with care and expertise, ensuring your home shines before Thanksgiving arrives.
