🎨 1. Fresh Paint (Interior & Exterior)

A fresh, clean paint job instantly modernizes your space and makes your home feel move-in ready. Great bang for your buck!

🍽️ 2. Kitchen Refresh (Minor Remodel)

Small cosmetic changes = big perceived value: cabinet refacing, new hardware, & countertops refresh the space without a full gut.

🛁 3. Bathroom Updates
