Not all changes have to be a major renovation. Sometimes, small projects can make a big difference. Below, we’ll take a look at some of the short-term weekend projects you can do around your home that pack a big visual punch.
Your home’s entryway sets the tone for what to expect inside. If you’re simply looking to make a small change, consider replacing the hardware on your front door and adding exterior lighting above the threshold. But if the change you’re looking for requires bolder action, replace your front door with a color that brightens your curb appeal and attracts visitors.
Long gone are the days when a kitchen island needs to exactly match your kitchen cabinets. What that can mean is an opportunity to make a big change in this important room without the major renovation. Consider replacing your kitchen island in a color complementary to your cabinets. If you need more function in your kitchen, add a countertop like Butcher Block that doubles as its own workspace.
Ending on the age of your kitchen and bathroom, it’s likely that you have some version of chrome fixtures, whether shiny or matte throughout the rooms. Now, however, fixtures come in a variety of colors and finishes including black, brass, and bronze. Changing up both the cabinet hardware and fixtures in a room can give it a whole new look and feel. And best of all, this change doesn’t have to be expensive.
The easiest way to create a wow factor in a room is to add interior trim. Popular options include panel molding, beadboard or shiplap, or adding a chair rail around the room. But the options here are endless.
If you’re looking to make on your home without the big design budget, speak to an expert like one at your local Fairview Millwork and Kitchens to speak about your options. Our experts will help you achieve the look you want, show you samples, and make purchasing super easy.
There is a reason ostriches don’t live in houses – because when it comes to home repairs, burying your head in the sand can be disastrous. Okay, maybe that isn’t the reason but acting quickly to resolve common problems is important. Here, we’ll tackle some of the most common issues homeowners face.
A sagging or warped floor may be indicative of larger problems that you can’t see. Sometimes dismissed as typical settling, a warped floor could indicate an ongoing water leak that has begun to rot the subfloor. Another issue it could highlight is if a support beam has been removed. Both of these issues require immediate attention.
Spotting mold is never a good thing, but there are certain places you expect to see it, like in bathrooms, where it can be easily explained and cleaned. However, when it appears somewhere you can’t explain, like living room walls, you should be extra vigilant. Since mold can affect the health of your family, if you see it appearing somewhere unexpected, call a professional for evaluation. They will be able to tell you if it can be cleaned DIY or requires professional services.
It’s easy for roof problems to go unresolved because they’re not as easily seen as some damage throughout the rest of your house. This is why it’s so important to inspect your roof regularly. If moisture finds a way beneath your roof shingles a small problem can become a big one quickly. The moment you notice missing shingles or have had high winds or other bad weather check your roof for necessary repairs.
A buckling or wobbly deck can pose a major threat to your family and visitors to your home. First, check the connection between the deck and your house. sturdy bolts or screws should be used end fit securely. next, check below the deck for any damage or rotting supports. if any individual deck boards are raised, damaged or soft remove and replace them.
While it may be tempting to avoid making home repairs for fear that they will be time-consuming and/or expensive, the best thing you can do is tackle them early so a small problem doesn’t turn into a big one. To make repairs that last, use quality materials you can depend on. Get advice from people you can trust by visiting your local Fairview Millwork today.
Replacing your home’s flooring is one of those once-in-a-lifetime renovations so when you pick a material, you want to make sure it’s right. While there are many flooring options on the market, only engineered hardwood combines the beautiful, timeless look of hardwood with the durability of laminate. Below, we’ll explore more of what you should know about this versatile material.
Engineered hardwood is a multilayered plywood core with an outer layer of solid wood on top. This top layer varies in thickness, usually from 2 to 6 millimeters. Typically, the thicker the solid wood layer, the more premium the product.
Like solid wood planks, engineered hardwood planks are available in a variety of wood species from oak, walnut, and cherry to exotic woods like tigerwood. They are also available in a variety of plank widths to complement any architectural design.
On account of its many layers, engineered hardwood is typically more stable than solid hardwood. Therefore, it is less likely to warp or expand and contract with temperature changes.
Also, engineered wood can be more budget-friendly than solid wood flooring. Keep in mind, however, the thicker the solid wood, the more premium the price is likely to be.
While an engineered wood floor can be sanded and refinished, the number of times this can be done depends on the thickness of the outer, solid wood layer.
Overall, this product is easy to care for. To keep it clean, simply sweep, vacuum or mop as you would a hardwood floor and avoid harsh cleaning solutions or tools.

We, at Fairview Millwork and Kitchens, have been longtime proponents of adding interior mouldings to a home to make it look polished and sophisticated. Interior moulding is that material that can instantly elevate a room. With so many to choose from, we looked at some of our customers’ recent home projects and found mouldings that are simple, yet elegant, and can be added to your home today.
You may think that a ceiling is just an ignored wall but you would be wrong. A statement ceiling can give an otherwise average room a wow factor. Tray ceilings not only add beautiful design, but also give the room a feeling of spaciousness which works very well in large open spaces.
Why settle for average when your stairs can steal the show? Even if you don’t have an expansive or winding statement staircase, you can help your staircase standout with a beautiful newell post on your railing. This is the beginning post of your railing and can be designed to complement and reflect the rest of the moulding throughout the room or home. Another option is cable railing. This is not just for the outdoor deck but can be used in many different options including a steel or wood rail to complement the cables.
Crown moulding is a simple trim to start with for those just starting out. We are taking crown moulding to the next level by adding it to the tops of kitchen cabinets and built-ins to bring their height all the way up to the ceiling. This visual trick used by designers brings the eye up and makes even a small space feel much taller.
Shiplap is a great way to use trim when done in moderation. Shiplap or board and batten adds textural interest to an otherwise boring wall and can add dimension to the entire room.
Ready to start using trim in your home? No matter which type you think is right for you, one of our Fairview Millwork and Kitchens representatives is available to help. Come in to see samples, get pricing or order today!
