5 Top Home Improvements for Your Silver Spring Home

Spruce up your aging house.

As you consider what you will take on this summer for a home improvement project, Silver Spring Patch Local Voices writer David Merrick has a great place for you to start.

1. Bedroom: This area should be serene and include enough space to move around.  Some ways to achieve this is by building a walk-in closet and installing light fixtures.

2. Entry Way: This area should be very inviting. It is where you usually receive guests for social events and your connection to the world. A clutter-free entry way is usually more pleasant.

3. Kitchen: Modify your kitchen so it’s not making your cooking experience unpleasant. You can adjust the height of countertops, lower your cooking space, and mount your appliances for easier access.

4. Garage Lifts: These can prevent wheelchair access to the house.
