Start small – interior doors, knobs, levers and hinges can be easily upgraded from builder standards to more unique and personal profiles and colours. These changes only take a few hours, and they set your space apart from the standard white 6-panel doors. Affordable and easy to do, the best part is that it doesn’t create the mess of bigger renovation projects.

Feature walls are very popular, adding texture, colour and visual interest to your space. Perhaps rustic barn board is to your liking; or maybe the clean lines of shiplap appeal to you. Monaghan Lumber stocks all the materials to create your one-of-a-kind feature wall, and their knowledgeable staff is ready to answer your DIY questions.

Vinyl flooring is one the most popular choices for renovations because of its versatility; many are waterproof and warrantied in a three-season cottage or home. Vinyl flooring can also float atop many existing floors, making it a quick and easy install; choose from the many colour options, registered embossed patterns and realistic wood-like effect. Monaghan Lumber offers flooring for your whole home; tiles for bathrooms, laundry rooms and kitchens are available, as well as hardwood and stair nosing to finish your entire home seamlessly.

Another simple upgrade is to re-do old baseboards and window and door casings. Easy to do, this can be tackled room by room, minimizing mess and impact on your living space, while adding a lot of value for little cost.

Thinking bigger? Windows and exterior door replacement, while more involved, have the added potential to make your home more energy efficient – think savings!

And remember – if you are thinking about selling, potential buyers will appreciate the end result. Monaghan Lumber wants to help you invest in quality products that will last a lifetime, so bring in your ideas and talk to them today.
