Home improvement refers to the process of making enhancements, renovations, or repairs to a residential property. This can include a wide range of activities such as remodeling rooms, upgrading fixtures, improving energy efficiency, or maintaining the exterior and landscape of a house. Home improvement projects can involve structural changes, aesthetic updates, or functional enhancements, and they may be undertaken by homeowners for personal satisfaction, increased property value, or both. Common home improvement tasks include painting, flooring replacement, kitchen and bathroom renovations, landscaping, and adding new rooms or features like decks and patios. Home improvement can be accomplished by homeowners themselves (DIY) or by hiring professionals, such as contractors or specialized tradespeople. The category encompasses a variety of tools, materials, and resources aimed at enhancing the quality, appearance, and functionality of living spaces.
